Fruitcake lover

Fruitcakes may be among the least-liked Christmas gifts, but Charles Fortson, the proprietor of Uncle Ray’s – the bait shop, convenience store and eatery – across from the entrance to Lake Lincoln State Park on Sunset Road is a rare fruitcake lover.

Next year, Fortson will be joining the Wesson News as a guest columnist covering food with monthly recipe suggestions. He may even offer one for fruitcakes.
