Gov. Tim Walz’s Executive Order 20-99 continues to set a tone for restaurants and bars in the Park Rapids area.
Put in place on Nov. 19, the order tightened restrictions on the hospitality industry, limiting bars and restaurants to carry-out, curbside service and delivery.
It was the second such hit to eating and drinking businesses since the state started taking emergency measures against the COVID-19 pandemic in March.
