Tavern League of Wisconsin convention is this week. Helen hasn’t missed one in a lot of years, if any since going into the bar business. Today they gave her a shout and standing ovation letting her know how much they miss her

The long-awaited update is here—Helen is home! ❤️
She is so happy to be home again and is incredibly grateful for everyone who has supported her along the way. Thank you for all the cards, visits, flowers, kind words, and continued love and encouragement. It truly means so much to Helen and her family.

As Helen continues to rest, heal, and regain her strength, the bar will remain closed for now. Helen and her family will continue to assess things week by week and see what reopening looks like when the time is right.

Thank you all for your patience, understanding, and continued support. ❤️

Hello everyone,
This update is long overdue, and I’m sure many of you have been wondering what’s going on if you haven’t heard from us.
Helen remains in the hospital and is improving each day. She is in good spirits and misses all of you very much. She is incredibly thankful for all the positive thoughts, prayers, and support you’ve been sending her way.
For now, we’re taking things week by week and closely monitoring Helen’s recovery. We will definitely remain closed for the next two weeks and will reevaluate the situation weekly after that.
Thank you all for your continued patience, understanding, and support. It truly means so much to Helen and all of us. ❤️
