****UPDATE****
The bridge is open!!
And, it’s still a good idea to spend our money locally!

We at Black Bear Biodiesel recognized the challenges of going into Plainfield when the Main Street Bridge was under construction. We purchased gift cards from businesses in the village to support the local economy while the bridge was closed!

Those who share this post will have their name entered into a drawing to win one of 13 gift cards ranging from $50 to $100 to The Country Bookshop, Positive Pie Tap & Grill Plainfield, or Plainfield Co-op, Plainfield Hardware, Goddard Café, or The Black Lotus Kitchen!

The drawing will take place on November 17th!

For anyone seeking a delicious taco, burrito, salad or rice bowl, The Black Lotus Kitchen food truck is located at 252 High St Plainfield by our facility!

Stay safe, keep it local
