Homers Bar and Grill

07/27/2026

As the investigation continues, we are asking our community for help. If you saw anything unusual Tuesday evening or earlier or if you have any information that could assist investigators, please call the Minnesota Arson Reward Project Tip Line at 1-800-723-2020.

If you have any cameras from the area around Homer’s Bar, please make sure you go back to look. Please don’t assume something is insignificant — even the smallest detail could help. If you know something, or think you may have seen something, please say something.

A reward of up to $5,000 is being offered for information leading to the identification of those responsible.

This has been heartbreaking for my dad, our family, and everyone who has loved and supported Homer’s Bar over the years. It’s not just a building — it’s a place that holds generations of memories, friendships, and moments that mean so much to the community.

We are incredibly grateful for everyone who has reached out, offered support, prayed, and stood beside us during this difficult time. Your kindness, compassion, and prayers mean more than you know. ❤️

Yesterday could have ended very differently. We are forever grateful to the firefighters, first responders, law enforcement, and everyone who stepped up to protect not only my dad’s business but the neighboring businesses as well.

If you saw anything unusual around the bar in the last couple of days, please contact the hotline. Even the smallest detail could make a difference.
