😄 I know I talk about the weather a lot 😂
But when you have what I think is the nicest patio in town, it kind of matters 💛

Today's weather and I are not really seeing eye to eye. The patio is looking a little questionable, but that does not change the important stuff 😄

It is Friday and for once I am not complaining about the weather 😂☀️

It is beautiful out, the patio is open, and I have a feeling a lot of people are going to be looking for somewhere to sit outside for lunch or dinner!

I still think we have the nicest outdoor dining in town and that is just my opinion of course .

But between the patio, the view, the flowers, and a grilled cheese in front of you, I feel pretty good about my saying that!

😄 Happy Sunday from The Meltdown! 😄

First, a huge THANK YOU to everyone who stopped in this weekend, especially all of our visitors from the Witches Craft Show at the Auditorium 💛

You all kept us busy yesterday! It was so nice seeing so many people out supporting local vendors, local businesses, and just enjoying our community. Those are the kinds of weekends that remind me why I love Barre 😊

So if you missed it yesterday, you are not too late yet 😄

And if you are headed to the craft show today or coming back through town afterward, we would love to see you.
