FREE CUPCAKES THIS FRIDAY
Known for its delicious food and hearty sandwiches, The Knook is celebrating its fifth anniversary in a very special way. Owner Krissy Bauer wants to thank folks for “five great years” by offering free cupcakes on Friday, Mar. 9. beginning at 11 a.m. until they’re gone. No purchase necessary, no strings attached, just stop by, grab one and enjoy. They’re just a tad off the beaten path — it’s located next to the Drunk Brush on Grover’s Alley, which is the little street that runs behind the Flanigan Leavitt Insurance building and the back of the library.
QUINCY BUSINESSES TO CLOSE BRIEFLY
Kara Rockett-Arsenault owner of Barn Owl Books and her husband, David Arsenault, owner of Feather River Outdoors will each be closing their respective businesses March 12-17 so the two can take an early spring “recuperation” break. Kara adds that she has several book events planned for her independent bookstore, which includes an appearance and reading by author Karen Karbo for her new book In Praise of Difficult Women on April 28. And, of course, David will be gearing up for spring and summer outdoor activities at his store and, perhaps now some good spring skiing.

✔ It was 19 years ago when Leslie and Jeff Greenwood opened Sierra Valley Barns on Highway 70 just east of Beckwourth.
