Jason Bates wasn’t going to let anyone in the Mitchell community and surrounding area be without a place to celebrate Christmas this year.
On Christmas Day, Bates opened his local bar to the community and had a feast of food waiting for all those who came to Big Dummy’s Christmas Dinner. While Bates had to sacrifice some of his own time on Christmas to prepare the food and set up the dinner at his bar in downtown Mitchell, he said it was well worth it in the end.
