Fire Devastated The Sherburne County Business

According to WJON, when emergency responders arrived, "flames [were] coming out of the roof". Thankfully, firefighters were able to put out the fire and keep the flames from spreading.

That was over the summer that the fire happened, and it's been a long road for the owners, Pat and Rebecca (or Becky) O'Brien, to get to where they are now. The O'Briens took over Bailey Ray's in 2023.

Opening In April?
