Dunaire Dined Out!

Continental Park Cafe in Stone Mountain Village was the perfect spot for December's dine out event.  The family run cafe hosted a very nice night - great food, friendly service, fun and festive decor, and musical entertainment by little Dunairean, Izzy.  Afterwards, a few of us took a quick trip through Stone Mountain Park to see the holiday lights and decorations.  Overall, it was another great dine-out, and we're already planning January's...so stay tuned!
