Long time Butler business closing its doors

For as long as most of us can remember, Grizzell's Bait and Tackle has maintained its spot on Business 71 just South of the stoplight in Butler. Citing health reasons, the store will be closing soon and a liquidation sale is set for this Saturday. Everything will be marked down 40%, so get there early for the best deals.

The family of Ruth Ann Grizzell will be on hand to greet everyone and would like to say thanks in advance for your years of patronage at Grizzell's Bait and Tackle.
