With all the things that can go wrong, the 4-H and 4-H Friends of Youth with the Chowan County Cooperative Extension decided that the new millennium would not come in and catch about 17 young people with poor table manners. During their summer break these young people were polishing up their table skills at Creekside Restaurant in Edenton, under the direction of owner Gail Finan with the assistance of Page Bolz and Mildred Vanterpool. They even got a chance to meet head chef Delbert White, and were treated to a delicious meal. One thing is for sure - these young people will carry their newfound social skills into the big Y2K.
