Emmaville Store, circa 1969

Yes, we're still here.

Sorry for the long absence folks.  We've had a pretty tough winter here without snow for snowmobilers.  Last week, the snow finally came in sufficient amounts and on Saturday, 99% of all Minnesota snowmobilers came to Emmaville! Ok, not really, but it sure seemed like it.  We had a lot of fun and had our best numbers since the deer hunting opener. All the snowmobilers sensed that this would be their last chance to ride this year, and it looks like they were right.  We had good snow as of last Tuesday night, and yesterday it climbed into the 50s - one week of real winter.  We were "Brigadoon" for snowmobilers last Saturday (Google it).

The Cafe's experiment with dinners on Friday and Saturday nights was a big success - thanks to everyone who came out to enjoy the Salmon Newburg, Chicken Marsala, and best of all, BBQ Ribs!  We learned alot about what works and what doesn't, and will be offering dinners again this summer.

MEANWHILE, the Emmaville Cafe will be closed the month of March, since snowmobiling, CC skiing, and ice fishing are about to end, and the only sport left is watching snow melt.  Mike and Mel are going to take this opportunity to take a much-needed vacation and hope to come back re-energized for the spring and summer.  See you then!

EMMAVILLE STORE AND THE NO-TEL MOTEL WILL REMAIN OPEN IN MARCH.
