RUSHFORD, Minn. – A fixture in Rushford for 40 years, Stumpy’s restaurant and bar, is closing down the weekend after next. Proprietors Pat and Judy Christian posted a notice on the wall that their last full day of service will be December 16. “Judy wants to retire,” the notice said. The Christians have owned Stumpy’s 25 years. All their kids have been on the payroll at one time or another. A farewell party for loyal customers will be Sunday the 17th from 3 p.m. to midnight.
