Sunday Closure at the Pub and Store

We realized that there's a scheduled power outage from 9am to 3:30pm on Sunday.

Due to this, both the pub and the store will be closed until 4pm on Sunday.

If the power stays off later than 4pm, we will be closed for the entire day.

Sorry for the inconvenience and hope everyone stays warm!
