Reopening
Bravo Brewing Company at 75 Pascoag Main St. has announced that the brewery will reopen on Friday, Feb. 28 from 5 to 10 p.m. The brewery has been closed since December after a sprinkler pipe burst in the building, destroying both the facility and equipment.
On Friday, Jesse Desorcy Music will perform and The Sticks Pizza Co. food truck will be on site. Owner Chris Mishoe noted that the brewery will have a limited selection while they brew inventory, but has ordered imported drafts kegs for the reopening.
March Giving
Burrillville High School Civic Liaisons Dylan Franklin and Jillian Russell are seeking donations for both the St. Patrick’s food pantry and Burrillville Animal Control in a March Giving program announced this week. The students are collecting cat and dog food and treats; paper towels; dish soap; pasta and sauce; canned fruit and vegetables; peanut butter and jelly; tea; and shampoo and conditioner. Collection locations will be set up at Brigido’s in Pascoag, New Rhode Nutrition and Burrillville Town Hall from March 1 to March 27.
Sand
With the warmer weather this week, concerns about ice may be abated for now, but the Burrillville Department of Public Works would like to make Burrillville residents aware that there are two locations for self-serve sand pickup to be used for traction on ice: Clear River Road, under the green sign adjacent to the Burrillville Animal Shelter and at the former DPW building on Union Avenue. Residents only are asked to take what they need and leave some for others as it takes large amounts of sand and salt to keep roads as safe and clear
