A beautiful day to dine #alfresco at @crosstownpub14! Didn’t try their soup of the day 😉, but maybe next time! 🥃 The fried green tomato sandwich, however, was 💯!

In honor of the Canes playing in the #nhlplayoffs, here’s a sneak preview of a story from our upcoming May/June issue of @trianglefamilymag about KK Fritsch’s experiences singing at @canes games. 

“Raleigh’s KK Fritsch spent her childhood in the spotlight. At the age of 7, she debuted her sweet and cheerful version of “The Star-Spangled Banner” at a Carolina Hurricanes game. For the next seven seasons, she served as the hockey team’s game-night national anthem singer, delighting crowds at the RBC Center (now @pncarena) with not only her rendition, but also her signature pink boots, a beaming smile and an endearing post-anthem wave to the crowd.”
