COOLEEMEE – The 16th Annual Catfish Fry will be held on Saturday, Oct. 19 at the RiverPark at Cooleemee Falls from 10 a.m.-2 p.m. Proceeds will assist in maintaining the RiverPark, also known as the Bullhole.

The summer season was busy. On several extra warm days, there have been as many as 500 visitors on a single day enjoying the water and scenery.

The catfish fry will be held at the picnic arbor in the park. Mona Jo Griffin & friends will provide the entertainment.

The menu includes catfish, French fries, hush puppies, dessert, and a drink for $10.

Tickets are available the day of the event. The park is off Erwin Temple Church, just off Needmore Road in Rowan County. Take NC 801 out of Cooleemee.
