Happy Mother’s Day! I hope enough of you have been vaccinated so you can have a better celebration this year than last year. The current weather report here in Mount Horeb for Sunday is around 60 degrees and a bit cloudy. So if you can’t celebrate indoors, outdoors will be nice enough.

So, many of you have been asking when we will be reopening downtown. Here are our current reopening plans; open the doors at the factory to ordering for outdoor dining, then allow limited indoor dining at the factory, while we train the staff that will be needed when we reopen downtown, then expand indoor dining at the factory, THEN open for limited hours and limited dining downtown. And this is IF (that’s a big if) everything goes well with Covid-19 not spreading more and no new mutation development.

Then there is the matter of me being completely honest. In the last couple of years several businesses similar to ours have opened up in downtown Mount Horeb. I am wondering if we are even needed downtown or if it makes financial sense for us to reopen. We are only a town of 7000.

So as we work towards determining our best future, please get the shot, keep your distance and wear a mask,

Tracy
