Columnist Pam Stone entertained dozens of Tryon Estates residents reading from her latest book, “I Love Me A Turkey-Butt Samwich” at a recent fundraiser for Steps to HOPE – Polk County’s domestic violence and sexual assault prevention and treatment center. Stone, award-winning comedienne, actor, radio host and writer moved from Los Angeles to a farm in South Carolina with her partner, Paul, where she doggedly pursues the art of having too much time on her hands. Stone’s column, “I’m Just Saying,” appears regularly in the Bulletin as well as other area newspapers.
