People are clucking about the Little Red Hen.
The cherished country music bar in Green Lake could close at the end of July, after nearly 100 years in business.
The Little Red Hen first opened its doors in 1933 in Phinney Ridge, before moving to Green Lake. Today the bar’s a community hub where customers line dance, sing karaoke and enjoy bluegrass jam sessions.
Fun fact, it was also featured in the Stone Temple Pilots’ music video for the song, “Plush.”
Now a lease dispute between the bar’s owner and the landlord could shut it down.
In response, community members - and avid country music and dance fans - have banded together to try to keep the bar open.
