Downtown’s Patio Dining Continues in Style
Supporting local is important, especially right now with COVID restrictions in effect. Restaurants, like many other small businesses, have struggled, but we can help them survive. Downtown restaurants are offering takeout and delivery. Many of them have opened their patios for the season.
