A popular Long Prairie establishment is ready to open it's doors again. The Thunder Lodge on Lake Charlotte will be opening under the ownership of Bret Wold and Anna Petron on July 3rd.

Bret and Anna are looking forward to this new adventure:

We are excited about the opportunity to own such a great community establishment. Thunder has been such a big part of the Long Prairie community since 2005 and we want to continue this. We will have a simple, very good menu, great drinks, but even better than that, great people who are just fun to be around. We want everyone to feel welcome, like you’re coming to have a drink with all your friends. It’s going to be an experience and we both can’t wait for it to begin.

The Lodge is a staple in the Long Prairie area. Everyone has a story to share involving a great night out with friends at that bar. It's a place you walk into where you are greeted by name, and there's always someone to shoot the breeze with over a cold beer. Bret and Anna are looking to keep that sense of community alive, and I have no doubt that they will succeed.

The doors of Thunder Lodge will be open starting Friday, July 3rd at 3 PM. They will be celebrating the grand opening all weekend, so if you are in the area swing by and celebrate with them and welcome back a beloved bar.
