Frisco Rod and Gun in the Snow

We don’t often get to see Frisco Rod and Gun all covered in snow! Since we stayed open each day of winter weather Bryan Perry works hard keeping the parking lot clear of ice and snow. Or at least it gave him an excuse to run the tractor!

Tuesday morning the buzz up and down the island was all about snow. Was it coming? How much would we get? Which of the five or six different weathermen we were watching would be right? We heard everything from nothing to 15 inches! As the day progressed we saw cold rain, icy rain, sleet, and then just ice. And on facebook and on the phone islanders went from excited to disappointed. If it was going to be this cold and messy at least it should snow!

On Wednesday morning we woke up to big fluffy white flakes coming down all over the island! It had finally gotten here. And people bundled up in whatever snow clothes they could get together and went out to play. Kids who had never seen snow got to make snowmen (small ones), school was out, and boogie boards got turned into sleds. And my favorite snow activity, we got to make snow cream!

Snow cream is so sweet and simple to make. And since we rarely get snow it is a real treat for us on the island.

All you need to make a batch of Snow Cream!

We make ours with Eagle Brand condensed milk, sugar, snow, and vanilla. Get a big bowl and fill it up with fresh, clean snow. Stir in the can of Eagle Brand milk, Sugar and Vanilla to your taste. If you use too much sugar your cream gets gritty, so try a little and taste. While this does not serve to warm you up after a day playing in the snow it sure is a treat. Perhaps because we only get to have it once every few years!

Joe likes it!

My son, Joe, approves!

Frisco Rod and Gun Family is Growing!

Frisco Rod and Gun has had a lot to be thankful for in 2013 and we are looking forward to seeing what 2014 holds for all of us!

We are happy to add “Cape Hatteras Notebook” as a new feature to our store’s blog to help keep in touch with our friends throughout the year. This does not replace the Fishing Report, but will give you a glimpse of things around the island and happenings in our store. We will work hard to post a little something here every few days.

To start off the New Year and the new blog page, we would like to introduce you to a few new faces at Frisco Rod and Gun. As you can see the Perry family has grown a good bit in the last year! Many of you know Bryan and Susie Perry who have owned Frisco Rod and Gun since 1979 and even worked here before that. Long time customers have watched my brother Kyle and myself grow up in the store. After graduating our respective colleges we both ended up back on Cape Hatteras and working with our parents. In the last decade you have probably been helped by one of us on the sales floor. Both of us found we didn’t want to live anywhere else but here! Five years ago my husband and I welcomed Joe into the world and he has spent a great deal of time at “work” with Mommy and his Grandparents. Kyle and his wife, Jessica, added a new Perry into the family with the birth of their son, Bodey in August. And I followed suit in October with my twins, Thomas and Patrick. We are loving having these new babies in the store! And all boys at that!

We are looking forward to helping you throughout the years to come! We wish you the happiest of New Years in 2014 and hope to see all of you soon!
