Milano’s Shares Updates Including Art Competition and Projected Re-opening Date 🍕
What will be your order when Milano’s reopens? 😋
![milanos warrenton nc italian restaurant](https://warrenist.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/milanos-warrenton-nc-italian-restaurant.jpg)
For the last few months after an extended period of silence and standstills, fans of Milano’s Italian Restaurant have been enjoying the piping hot servings of news and photos.
Since our small town lost the Main Street eatery and date night destination in a devastating fire that destroyed the historic Rose’s building it occupied and neighboring business, CC Showers of Distinction in May 2020, the status of what would become of the restaurant was like hand tossed pizza dough: it was up in the air.
But, thanks to social media, the owner has kept its hungry fan base feasting on photos featuring renovations as well as keeping everyone abreast of any new developments.
In one of their most recent Facebook posts, the owner made two announcements: an art competition and the restaurant’s tentative re- grand opening date.
*fingers crossed*
We are holding an art competition. This is open to all ages and the chosen artwork will be on display at Milanos. So get your colored pencils, sharpies, oils, paints ready. The submissions cannot be larger than a piece of poster paper and must be original. The artist’s name and age must be on the back of the submission.
Age categories are:
5 – 8 years old
9- 11 years old
12-15 years old
16-18 years old
AdultThe theme is: ITALY
All submissions must be dropped off at Citizens Insurance & Bonding Co., Inc. at 116 N Main St, Warrenton. The winners of the competition will be announced at the grand re-opening, tentatively scheduled for April 1st!
Follow along with Milano’s progress by checking out their Facebook page and by following The Warrenist, of course 😉.
