July, according to a survey! We have all your grilling needs covered in this week's specials...from Chicken Drumsticks to our FOUR Brats of the Week (Sauerkraut, Fresh Chorizo, Mushroom & Swiss, and Gummi Bear, YES, Gummi Bear Brats). If you need to "Bring an hors de vours" we have our Summer Sausage, which is always a treat on a Cheese & Sausage Platter! This week, we also have something very special, and something that we can only get once-a-year...Fresh, Wild Copper River Sockeye Salmon!! This week it's just $15.99lb, which is $1.00/lb less than last year!! :) The Salmon, along with all of the other specials, are, as always, good while supplies last! We only get a certain amount of the Salmon, and then we're out.
Also, something to know for the weekend...we're CLOSED on Saturday, due to the 4th of July!
Once, in the 1800’s, there was a little boy playing around his house. He was twirling around, and suddenly, he knocked over the outhouse. Frightened that he would be caught, he ran into the woods and didn’t come out until it got dark. When he arrived back home, his father was waiting for him. He asked suspiciously,”Son, did you knock over the outhouse?”
“No, father,” the son lied.
“Well, let me tell you a story,” said the father.”Once, not that long ago, George Washington received a shiny new axe from his father. Excited, he tried it out on a tree, swiftly cutting it down. But as he looked at the tree, with dismay he realized it was his mother’s favorite cherry tree,” his father paused.” just like you, he ran into the woods. When he returned,his father asked,’Did you cut down the cherry tree?’ George answered with,’Father, I cannot tell a lie. I did indeed chop down the tree.’ Then the father said, ‘Well, since you were honest with me, you are spared from punishment. I hope you have learned your lesson, though.’ So,” the little boy’s father asked again,” did you knock down the outhouse?”
“Father, I cannot tell a lie.” said the little boy. “I did indeed knock down the outhouse.”
Then the father spanked the little boy. The boy whimpered,”Father, I told you the truth! Why did you spank me?”
The father answered,”That’s because George Washington’s father wasn’t in the tree when he chopped it down!”
