Minnesota Prairie Roots

Evan, like so many small southwestern Minnesota towns, is fading into the prairie » Evan, #109 Schmidt beer sign

This vintage sign hangs outside Tubby’s II Bar & Grill. A sign in the window noted the bar is closed for the winter.

    Thought I’d give ya shout out…reason being is that I have acquired a t-shirt with yours bars logo on the front side of the shirt…I met a fella that was wearing the shirt and told him that I have a friend that his nick name is tubby and we both live in ( not Evan mn ) however …we happen to live in Evansville mn…so…long story short …when someone inquires about a person or his or character and they respond by saying this….”That person would give you the shirt off his back ” and that’s exactly what this individual had done…he gave me his shirt right off his back…
