Eat local! Bucks’ restaurant specials

Note: These prices are not current. Please contact the restaurant for this year’s pricing.

To say this has been a difficult winter for all of us is an understatement. But it has been a real slam to many area businesses and restaurants. So if you’ve got cabin fever, go out and patronize your local eateries. Give ’em some love now so that they’ll be around in the spring.
