Dryden Restaurant Gutted by Fire

The Western Winds restaurant in Dryden was gutted by fire this (Dec 25) afternoon. The restaurant had been closed for the holidays. There is no official word from Dryden Fire Service nor police but CKDR has been told by a reliable source that the interior was gutted. It is believed the fire started in an upstairs apartment. The restaurant, formerly operated under a variety of names, re-opened as Western Winds several months ago.
