BUNNELL, Fla. – Friday can’t come soon enough for Janice Bontempo, she’s one of the owners of Crossroads Tavern.
Bontempo said they’ve been closed since March 17 due to COVID-19, and spent the time cleaning and ordering personal protection equipment. “When Governor DeSantis actually said bars can open up, I literally was crying because it was a big weight lifted off my shoulders,” Bontempo said.
News 6 visited the bar last month when she and co-owner Marc Catoggio pleaded for the governor to open bars.
