Fire Followup

I’ve been back up to Loogootee twice since the devastating fire that wiped out a block of the town’s square.

Their families, employees and friends are working tirelessly, but they have the support of the whole town. Elementary students have sent cards of support as well, which Rosie Bridges has hung up in her new temporary shop.
