The restaurant at Local’s Bar and Restaurant appears to be “a total loss” after a fire engulfed the Pawnee hot spot over the holiday weekend. The bar also has smoke and water damage, and the business is closed as they start the cleanup process. But that isn’t stopping the people at Local’s from continuing with events scheduled for this weekend.

Andrea Womack, Local’s manager says the Masonic Lodge and the city have stepped up to help make sure the bike night this Friday still happens.

Womack says everyone in the community has been supportive during the business’s tough time.
