Good morning friends on this rainy Sunday morning. We hope you will join us for our 5K that is less that 2 weeks away, the sign up price goes up this way so get yourself in at the current price. We appreciate all that continue to support and share our fundraisers and posts - we say this Helen Keller quote all the time.
Alone we can do so little; together we can do so much.

This is so true for us every day, we need your help to keep being able to support local cancer patients and their families.

Just the other day we learned of a woman who is battling cancer and has chosen surgery. She did not need help with bills etc but we we did send her some flowers and gift cards to local restaurants, a gas card to help with travel and sent our prayers for healing to her. We loved learning we made her smile.

Help us help others. Happy Sunday.

Well now this is it. “The Last Shift” After working here at Double “J” Sports Bar for 10.5 years with me, I just want to Thank Mandie for all the good times we’ve had. Your Friday friends plus all our great regulars will miss you. Since you were a kid working for your family behind the bar to now. With your own business at hand, I can see you thriving in that now that you will have more time. We know you won’t be a stranger. There will always be a place behind the bar for you to come and make Bloody Mary’s 🤣 Let’s join Mandie on her “Last Shift” here at Double “J” Sports Bar from 11:00am to 7:00pm. Jodi & Annika will be joining Mandie behind the bar to serve you all drinks while Mandie chats it up with all of you. So in reality nothing will change.🤣🤡🤣 Thank you Mandie for a great 10.5 year run.
