​Businesses have come up with creative ways to continue offering their goods and services from a distance. Everyone's safety and well-being are of the utmost importance during these unprecedented times. Remember the three W's:  Wash your hands, Watch your distance and Wear your masks.
Food, Brew, FUN & Necessities
A listing of  61+ local eateries, brewer, hardware stores, banks, shops, recreation, hair/barbershops, personal care, office and gyms with addresses, phone, menu, and hours of operation. 
Newly reopened restaurants offering outside dining in addition to their take out offering are highlighted** ​

Here's how you can help support your favorite eatery, brewery, stops, outdoor recreation, hair/barbersgio  during these unsettling times.
  • Wear masks, be respectful, wash your hands frequently and follow distancing guidelines.
  • Be Patient as businesses transition their operations to to the new opening models for retail and dining and office environments.
  • Curbside pick up and delivery is still an option for many restaurants and stores. Please note their menu and operating hours may have changed.
  • Buy gift cards from your favorite restaurant or store.
  • Shop online - Not all retail stores may have the option to offer online shopping, but if they do, it’s a great way to support small businesses and practice social distancing.
  • Buy local produce - The grocery stores are doing a great job keeping up with the high demand, but try buying direct from farmers for milk, eggs, and local produce, they need our support more than ever.
  • Tip well and say Thank You!
  • Stay connected to your favorite stores/restaurants, and non-profits through their Facebook pages and websites. Many organizations are now providing virtual meetings. 

Let's All Stay Safe - Wear Masks and Follow Distancing Guidelines
