If making your own Thanksgiving meal or getting an invite is not on the horizon this year, you may want to plan ahead. In a survey of 23 local restaurants and pizza eateries, only three indicated they will be open for business.
McDonalds (601 S. Main St.) indicated a shortened schedule. Opening at 5 a.m. and closing at 11 a.m., they will then reopen at 4 p.m. A spokesperson at Dairy Queen (604 S. Main St.) said, “we are always open.” The only buffet in the area found to be open on Thanksgiving was Mamma Rosa’s. They will be open from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Jay C may have their Thanksgiving meal packaged this year. Other suggestions would be to go to Huber's Orchard and Winery (19816 Huber Rd., Borden), or drive to Clarksville and visit Bob Evans and Golden Corral.
In addition to restaurants, free meals for the needy will be served November 9 at the First Baptist Church, located at 200 E. Walnut St., from 12 p.m. to 2 p.m. Lastly, the Warming Station, located at 110 N. High St., will be hosting a Thanksgiving meal on November 25 from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m.
