Great news for a business damaged by Wednesday's storms!

GREAT NEWS: Doors open at 5pm tonight for Brews & BBQ night! Huge thank you to Ozella Construction, Inc. for their hard work. Our most heartfelt thanks go out to all our customers and friends who reached out. We were incredibly lucky the damage was just to the facade and no one was hurt. We are once again humbled by all the community support and love shown at an uncertain time. Thank all. We remain SMALL TOWN PROUD!!!
