SOLD‼️‼️

After 8 years in business we have sold Ridge Runners.

What a ride it has been. We have shared graduations, birthdays, class reunions, a wedding, Pioneer Days, meat raffles, live music and countless Friday night fish fries. Thank you for making us a part of all of it.

Thank you to our staff throughout the years. You are what made the bar so great ❤️.

When we started we were newlyweds with a crazy dream (Travis' dream). A resturant to serve our meat. Farm to table. We hope you enjoyed the beef and pork. If you miss the brisket, or any meat served at RR it can still be purchased next door at Heritage Meats LLC .

We are going to enjoy a little bit more free time raising our boys on the farm.

Please welcome new owners James and Deb. We know Butternut will welcome them with open arms. Please stop by and get a drink 🍷🍸🍹🍻during Pioneer Days, at Ketz Tavern. Congratulations!

Thank you
🥹❤️

Travis and Cassy

We are excited to announce a change to this year's Pioneer Days Parade!

Usually, we let our amazing float creators run wild with their own ideas, but this year is incredibly special. We’ve decided to unite the community under one massive, historic theme: Celebrating the 250th Birthday of America! 🎇

As we honor our local pioneer roots, we are also tipping our hats to the grand Quartersemicentennial of the nation. We want to see our streets flooded with red, white, and blue, historical tributes, and creative nods to 250 years of American history, innovation, and community spirit.
