It is with heavy hearts that we tell you of the passing of Ritchee Price. Ritchee
was unfailingly generous with his time, his tales, his infectious positivity, and the beautiful tone of his trumpet. In all the good ways one can name, he was our friend.
We will miss him more than words can say.
One day soon, we’ll gather here to send him off with some tears, more laughs, and probably some Neal Hefti tunes.
His obituary and details about services can be found on the Rebello Funeral Home site:

We’re named for an immigrant song, about immigrants, sung by immigrants. Our forebears were strangers in this strange land, people said horrible things about them, and many of them didn’t speak the language.

So we see it as imperative to try to make things better for those folks who are coming here now, trying for the same better life our people sought.

Today, from 2-4, 100% percent of the purchase price of your Guinness, Smithwick’s, or Magner’s will go directly to Dorcas International to help them with the excellent work they do extending welcome to our most recently-arrived neighbors. Thanks to Mancini Distributing for once again partnering with us on this and, as an added bonus, Guinness USA has agreed to match what we raise up to one barrel’s worth. So, you’re not only drinking delicious Guinness for Good, you’re drinking it for DoubleGood.

Like the sign says, 100,00 Welcomes and it is welcome to all. But, like the shirt says, “Bí go deas, nó imigh leat,” Be nice, or Leave.

Come and watch the sun set over our impressive snowpile.
We're open and at 'em.

For you concerned citizens out there, we're walkable for a great many folks--staff included--and our Arrive On Skis or Snowshoes offer is very much in effect.
Some roads remain covered with snow and some covered with not. Some are down to pavement. Side roads are impassable. So, while not encouraging anyone to drive, if you're out and about, our lot is free and clear.
Even though the gate is down, grab a ticket and we will validate it for you.
Enjoy the snow. You know you will miss it.
