Fatten Up at Spurlock’s Malt Shop

Today, you’ll find a classic burger stand with your options of goodness like cheeseburgers, hot dogs, tater tots, fried pickles or pimiento cheese sandwiches just to name a few.

Of course, you could finish off your meal with a Dirt and Worms Sundae or a Fried Twinkies shake.

Eat at a New Zealand Bakery

I am very, very happy that LuLu’s is just across the street from me. Their New Zealand Donuts are ADDICTING. Love the Meat and Spinach Pies, also. This place is a MUST if you live in or are visiting Anna!!!

Very unique place for breakfast. Coffee is great. Meat pies are delicious. Many other great options like the chocolate filled croissants and cherry sticks are wonderful also.

When the temps heat up, you and your kids will want to spend your days in water.

You’ll find the splash pad located in Slayter Park.
