C&C Diner: A Local Favorite
Peterstown, W.Va. (The Hinton News) - For the past 13 years, C&C Diner has been serving up homemade meals and warm hospitality to the community.

Hillsville VFW treats locals to Big Country Breakfast
The Grover King Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 1115 in downtown Hillsville welcomed all guests on Saturday, October 10 for what organizers hope can be the start of a new tradition, the Big Country Breakfast. The buffet menu consisted of pancakes, ham, sausage, eggs, biscuits and gravy, with coffee and orange juice as beverage options. Efforts to organize the event were led by Kevin Hill and Cindy Layne, who did so in honor of their late grandparents Carroll, a VFW member, and Almarie, who was in the Auxiliary. “Our grandmother cooked fine apple pies at all the flea markets for over 25 years; she was here every year and had high respect from everybody,” said Hill. “She always made cabbage soup at fundraisers and she was the Virginia State Volunteer of the Year for the Auxiliary one year. This is all due in remembrance of her and our grandfather.” Cost was $10 per person and $25 for a family of four. The event lasted from 7 until 11 a.m. and served more than 150 people throughout the morning, per VFW member Alec Horton. All proceeds will benefit the VFW’s Relief Fund to provide support for veterans and their families, while
