Local residents Paul Braun and Barbara Keenan recently purchased Knitski’s Bar & Grill in Palmer (formerly Palmer House) from John and Deb Smuda. The new owners are excited to carry on the wonderful service the Smudas, as well as previous owners, have provided at this staple gathering place in the community. Braun and Keenan have every intention of continuing the great tradition of excellent food, cold drinks, amazing staff and a great place to unwind to local residents who are looking for a morale booster. Paul and Barbara look forward to seeing everyone soon.(Submitted photo.)
