Exciting News❗️

This November marks Fox Pub and Cafe 15th anniversary, and to celebrate they are giving back to the community. Every Saturday in November, they will host a "Spotlight Saturday," where they will spotlight a local charity and donate 15% of their food sales for the day to that community group!

For this first Saturday of November from 9am-9pm, Fox Pub and Cafe has chosen Paws Giving Independence. Join us and Fox Pub and Cafe to celebrate their 15th year anniversary and as it also is the last day for their extended patio, you can bring your furry friends to, hang out on the patio, and make it a memorable day!

See everyone there!! Thank you Fox Pub and Cafe!
