Twitter and Facebook are both reporting that the Dairy Barn in Minier, IL is on fire and currently being controlled by the Minier Fire Department. It is reported that the Lutheran Church next door bought the Dairy Barn and are turning it into a parking lot...doesn't that remind you of a song?

The Dairy Barn has been in business for over 20 years.  I worked there when the Gilhouse's owned it for a summer (1998) and loved the family atmosphere and delicious ice cream!  This local landmark with be missed as it's seasonal schedule was anticipated my many each year. 

Thank you for the good times and sweet treats Ol' Dairy Barn! You will be missed!
