Health Fair® C om ing t© our Town Kta W t o Changes & Rearranges The New Butte Falls Tavern by- Julie Freeman “ It takes all kinds of people to make the world go around. Even those who used to frequent the Butte Falls Tavern. On July 30th, 1S98, Butte Falls saw the end of an era. The doors closed on the Tavern for good... Or so they say.” When I wrote those words two years ago, I had little idea of how much the closing of the Tavern would truly effect our small town. Oh, life went on. People seemed to adjust, but a vital social connection was severed. A part of history was destroyed & a part of the town lost its heart. For me, it was like my mother died all over again and no one could ever make it right. But time has a way of healing. And Butte Falls has a way of rearranging & looking out for its own. People here have always stood up for what they want & believe Is right, not only for themselves, but for the community as a whole. On Oct. 1st, 2000, the doors to the relocated Butte Falls Tavern will open. A new era will begin. Mike & Liz Stritenberg have been working hard converting the recent youth center into a place of history & work manship. Artifacts & memorabilia have been donated by many to make the new tavern feel as warm & welcoming as the old. History will have repeated itself, or rearranged itself, so to speak. I am told that the first tavem began it’s illustrious beginnings on or near the site of the new tavern. Of course times have changed. Cork boots & pistols won ’t be a public nuisance. Spittoons & gambling won ’t be around to offend anyone, and there will probably be as much soda sold as beer. But the atmosphere & social connections will remain as timeless as the history of a tavern in Butte Falls. Though the old Bullwinkle door will continue to stare timelessly at Ralph, the stature in the park, and the wonderful old historical backbar will weather another winter without admirers, the ghosts of the past, & those awake after 8:00 P.M. will once again have a place to go. You are invited to stop on by and be a part of history in the making. Saturday, Oct. 7th 9:00 a.m. until 1:00 p.m. Butt® Falls Comm.
