The dairy bar next to Dollar General will reopen this spring, hopefully the first week of April. The business has been for sale since last fall. Townspeople were wondering if it would remain in business this year. Here, workmen put on a new roof. The ice cream shop will not only have soft serve this year, but also hand dipped ice cream. The menu, which includes a number of sandwich offerings, will be similar to past years. The store will be open from 11 am to 9 pm daily. Gary McClain will be operating the ice cream shop.
