Roxy & Duke’s Roadhouse will be hosting Christmas dinner on December 25 from 4pm-8pm. The meal is free to those who have no other place to go or are financially challenged. The roadhouse has previously held free holiday dinners for local families on an invitation-only basis but this year, owners Jim Parks and Noreen Dunn decided to open its doors to all in need. “We have no idea what to expect,” Parks said.
