As of this evening Stub & Barbara Durbin will be the new owners of the former Elk Manor. The City council accepted an offer from them for it. They plan on turning it into a hunting lodge/ bed & breakfast & Cafe. Yes the Swinging Bridge Cafe will be moved to there. We are so excited to see it become useful again and not sit vacant any longer. So if you see Stub or Barbara give em' your congratulations!!!! They will need it. HAHA
There will be lots of cleanup to do.
;D

What a great idea!  Good going Barbara and Stub.

What an awesome idea!!

I have overheard countless people comment about the lack of a place to stay!!  Good thinking

That will be great for people coming to the area to visit. I am working on the Howard High Class of 1958 5oth reunion for next Spring and the biggest complaint I get is there is such a limited number of places to stay overnite. I will put something in the next letter I send out about Stub's venture.

 WOW !!!   That is wonderful support for all of the surrounding communities.  Something like that has been needed for a LONG LONG TIME in that part of Elk County.

   Awesome !!!  GOOD LUCK TO STUB AND BARBARA !!!

 :DJust talked to my step sister Cynthia Weddle (,Wichita),last night and they are thrilled to hear about this.
We decided we should get all her kids and our friends, rent the rooms and have a reunion of sorts.  This will open
so much for the community.
