Happy Memorial Day Weekend to everyone, the season has officially begun! The weather is supposed to be gorgeous all weekend so let's keep our fingers crossed. We kick off our live entertainment tonight with Lenny G and the Soulsenders at 9pm. Saturday and Sunday The Moodswingers with Lauren Glick will be here to entertain the crowd which also starts at 9pm. On Wednesday June 1st come in for our Deckless Deck Party from 5-8 with the Aaron Howell Band. We always have great happy hour specials M-F 4-7 and Late Nite S-Th from 10-close.
    All of our decks are open so come dine with us inside or out. A few familiar faces stopped in this past week to say hello including Sherry and Bill who are back in town for the summer. A week is never complete without seeing Walter and Carmel dance the night away, and a deck party wouldn't be the same without Jerry and Tony! Our Preakness hat contest was a success; thanks to everyone who participated. Angie and I took home top honors. Thanks, Maddy!
    We would all like to congratulate Renee and Keith on a healthy baby girl. Natalie Joan was delivered on Monday weighing in at 8lbs. 14oz. Congratulations are also in order for Rick and Terri who are moving into their new home this week.
    Come stop in this weekend. We serve every day from 11am-1:30am. Don't forget our 32nd Annual Canoe Race set for July 19th; it's right around the corner!
