Listen to this man. Seven years of college, you know. Trying to reason with 2020 and, now, 2022.

One Last Hurrah at Stucky's-- Part 2: A Good Send Off Party

We  sure enjoyed the owners, Deb and Ron, and had many great talks with them.  Their daughter Crystal often worked there as well and is a real good friend with Kelly, another one of our favorites, who was once the commander of the Fox Lake American Legion.  Also, bartenders/waitresses Teesha and Carrie.

We also enjoyed good times with a whole bunch of regulars like Joe and Randy and others.

Stucky's, which was located in the Johnsbrg shopping center by Angelo's grocery store (the former Val's, now located in Fox Lake).

The place was packed and, of course, they were out of most everything as they were getting rid of stock and not buying much of anything.  Lots of trips had to be made over to next door Angelo's when they would run out of items.  

We drank the $2 cans of Busch Light (all their cans were as cold as you can get without freezing).  Michelle was there doing karaoke (which she had been doing on Saturdays).  

About half the people were from Sunnyside as it was a favorite of Sunnysiders.  We even would have to do the Sunnyside Shuffle at times there.  (Where you moved from tables to the bar.)  Mark Hume and the Sunnyside owner Amy and her boyfriend Denny (they now co-own Cullon Knoll in Cullon Lake near McHenry) were there as well.

Crystal bought a round and said a tearful goodbye and thank you.  Bartender/waitress Carrie will be working Tuesday nights at Cullom Knoll.
