Sir Ben’s Welcomes Back Customers for Outdoor Dining with Fire Pit Tables
The new toasty furniture makes it easier for customers to come and follow Gov. Walz s updated orders.
December 19, 2020
DULUTH, Minn.- Sir Benedict’s Tavern on the Lake in Duluth’s Central Hillside got creative to welcome customers back outside, per Governor Tim Walz’s updated restrictions on Minnesota businesses which went into effect Saturday.
New fire pit tables powered by propane tanks replaced most of their patio furniture, giving customers a toasty way to enjoy a beverage and food.
On Wednesday Gov. Walz announced bars and restaurants can reopen for outdoor dining at 50 percent capacity and up to 100 people, with no more than four per table.

5:47pm - Racing has been abandoned for the day.
Not much to be taken from today s events and not the final workout Team NZ would have hoped for.
Now the challengers have three weeks until the Prada Cup series begins, while the Kiwis will wait and watch from the sidelines, racing among themselves presumably.
Still, this week has whetted the public appetite for these AC75 boats, which are obviously capable of high speeds and perhaps less capable of really low speeds.
Join us for live updates of the challenger series, starting January 15.
5:43pm - Team NZ are packing up their boat, so their day is done. Still awaiting official announcement on abandonment.

American Magic v Team NZ
American Magic win by 12s
Finish - American Magic cross first, 12 seconds ahead of Team NZ.
What a great race - just a couple of costly errors from the Kiwis made the difference, but sweet victory for former Team NZ helmsman Dean Barker.
The Americans finish the first day with two wins from as many races and looks the team to beat in this world series.
Third lap - The Kiwis have reduced the lead to less than 200m, so they re closing upwind.
