Did you miss me? I missed last week because of the Memorial Day Holiday. I hope everyone enjoyed the holiday and respected the meaning of the day, unfortunately too many of the “holidays” are taken for granted and they are not appreciated for what they represent and the loss or gain behind the “holiday”.
It was picture day at Art’s Bar, most know that the Barrs have sold the bar and we wish them all the best in what could be retirement. They have earned it. There are so many people that have worked at Art’s over the many years, many even before the Barr’s have owned it. Art’s Bar is an institution in Glen Arbor and hopefully the new owners understand that. All the best to Tim and Bonnie,.
