Pinterest-Worthy Talent at Trudy’s Creations

Potato Salad & That Key Lime Pie!

Whether you crave something salty or sweet, Red Brick Deli’s got your back…literally. You can choose from a variety of sandwiches, bagels, and salads with a side of your choosing, but we can’t go without recommending the potato salad. The portions are more than most can finish in one meal, but they have to-go boxes so save room for dessert. The brownies and cookies make great options if you’re in a hurry to get back to work, but if you have the time, that pie is life-changing!

Memorial Day Celebrations with American Legion Post 96

As we all look forward to the long weekend, may we be reminded of the true purpose.

The holiday was originally known as Decoration Day following the Civil War, evolving over the years into our Memorial Day, always falling on the last Monday in May.
Please join the men and women of American Legion Post 96 at any or all of the following opportunities to commemorate American military personnel who have given the ultimate sacrifice for our country.
