Due to Circumstances outside of our control we have been forced to enter a period of TEMPORARY SHUT DOWN FOR REPAIRS - while we work with our Landlords to either fix the building together or to purchase the property from them so that we can fix it ourselves and get back to work!! If you have any questions or concerns please do not hesitate to contact us anytime.

If you're looking for me... I've recently joined the ranks at another great family business... with my favorite in-laws at Lambert Auto (Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, RAM) in Claremont ✌❤💪

After spending the last few years catching up on honey-do lists, trying to see about reopening, seeing our oldest daughter prepare to graduate Steven's HS this year & now preparing to continue her education at Embry Riddle University (Daytona Beach, FL)... then welcoming a new child (our son Markus William, now 2yrs old) .... and our formerly lil'one Coranna sprout into a 5'8" middle schooler (and champion big sister)

Cinco de Mayo this year was one I'm glad that we missed 🤦🏼‍♂️🤷🏼‍♂️ - Hope that all are well, safe & managing to stay sane in all this craziness.

For those that hadn't heard - after many unseen twists, turns & heartburn... I wasn't able to see a way clear financially (or while maintaining family harmony) to re-open the Baron.
If anyone is interested in seeing about taking over and continuing /restarting the Legacy please feel free to message me. Obviously not a great time immediately to be in the biz... but these things don't happen overnight anyways.

Miss you all & thank you for all the memories 🍻🥂 ✌❤💪

Voices of Water for Climate

Sooo... my efforts to help bring a little SoCal style mexican food to NH didn't work out (in the end) exactly how I wanted. .. so now I'm trying to help bring a bit of our excess precipitation from the woods of the northeast to Cali... and points in between. ..
Please take a couple minutes and check out our new charitable organizations website to learn a little more! There's a neat 2 minute video that sums up better than my ramblings... the site is new and there's plenty more content coming in the days, weeks and months ahead.

We're on the road doing presentations and investigative tours... (in CA now) making connections with existing groups that are already hard at work, in complementary ways, to find ways to work together and multiply the effects of all our efforts.
Our point (most simply stated) is that rainwater needs to soak into the ground as close to where it falls as possible. If it can do this and grow plants/trees etc. then nature will rebalance freshwater supplies and even out the climate (less frequent extremes). .. locally, regionally, nationally and globally.

Every drop counts! And so does every tax deductible donation ;) please help if you can assist us in providing a voice for water!
www.vow4climate.org

, so it can replenish the moisture in the atmosphere to fall again in a steady cycle of moderate precipitation- the short or small water cycle that is vital to local climates. Humans have been depleting water cycles for a long time with poor management of water. Especially in the last century we hav...

Tap Well from the Lil' Red Baron Restaurant (first $250 takes it or best reasonable offer). This item was listed as a auction item but didn't meet the reserve. If you bid previously and are still interested please contact me - I tried to reach out through eBid site but they seem to really limit the ability to have direct contact between buyers & sellers... guess they're worried about people cutting them out of their middle-man fee).

Baron Restaurant Corner Store : Lil Red Baron Closeout on eBid United States - Page 1

Happy Holidays Folks! As 2016 draws to a close (mercifully for many) the time has clearly come for me to finish "wrapping up and moving on". I have stubbornly been holding onto the prospect of re-opening myself or finding a way to package things up so that another party could take over and revive the Lil' Red Baron.

To anyone that has known me it comes as no surprise that I am a stubborn Finn and loathe to quit / admit defeat... however despite the clear support & desire from many to see LRB re-open... the reality is it that without a viable home at Airport Rd it just wouldn't be "the Baron" anymore. Unfortunately the powers that be decided that wasn't going to happen & refused to operate in good faith or fairness to allow that to happen. Re-opening somewhere else never really felt like an option for me and the financial costs to "fix" our Home was too much apparently for the building owner & certainly was for me as well as a tenant. Several different attempts to find a way to work together were unsuccessful and so I am grudgingly prepared to finally accept this and move forward.

Many many thanks to all of our Loyal staff, friends and customers over the years. The time spent working, eating, laughing & learning together will always be among my most cherished memories. I have learned a lot from all of you & will continue to miss seeing you regularly.

There was an auction a few months ago but we still have some items left - if anyone would like something more tangible to remember us by... please visit our eBid store. Please note that any monies collected from this effort will be going towards residual debts of the business incurred while acquiring, operating & holding out to re-open. More items will be added so please check back regularly & feel free to contact us here or there with any questions.

UPDATE: The Warrant Article - to give the Board of Selectmen the authority to sell the real estate at 8 Airport Rd ("Lil' Red Baron Property") - with first option to negotiate/buy to be afforded to us the Lil' Red Baron Restaurant (or our designee) - cleared the deliberative session hurdle on Tuesday night and will be on the Ballot Tuesday May 12th 2015! PLEASE SUPPORT THIS ARTICLE AT TOWN VOTE DAY MAY 12th!!!

This is good news (or as close as we can get to it today) as there is now the possibility that we will be able to purchase the real estate and fix the septic. We have pre-approval for financing to purchase the building and fix the septic system. At this point we are evaluating the rest of the building and the septic redesign options & will soon start lining up quotes and contractors to do the necessary work should/once we buy the property.

The bad news/reality is that it does not make much business sense for us to attempt to re-open before we control the property. There are still too many risks that tings could go wrong and we've been burned/disappointed too often to go much further on Faith that this will go "our way or that people will do the right thing". Unfortunately in all of this mess so far, we spent so much money trying to keep things going and avoiding a shut down - we've lost so much staff as a result of this & the fact that too much chance remains that either the vote goes the wrong way or we may not be able to come to terms with the Town on a fair price.

In summary - GOOD NEWS: WE NOW HAVE A CHANCE TO GET TO THE POINT WHERE WE CAN RE-OPEN IF THE VOTE ALLOWING THE TOWN TO SELL PASSES .... BAD NEWS: WE PROBABLY WON'T BE ABLE TO RE-OPEN UNTIL JULY, AUGUST or SEPTEMBER DEPENDING ON HOW QUICKLY THINGS CAN COME TOGETHER AFTER A "YES" VOTE. There is still a chance that we could open sooner but frankly the odds are long - maybe 20% that we'd be able to open sooner.

A BIG HURDLE IN THE QUEST TO RE-OPEN OCCURS TONIGHT 6pm AT THE HIGH SCHOOL IN NEWPORT. IF YOU CAN PLEASE COME BY TO SUPPORT ARTICLE 6: approval for the Town to sell the real estate for the Lil' Red Baron property.

We will have the initial opportunity to purchase the property & that is the first step to us re-opening. That being said if no one is able to buy the property then it will likely be the end of ANY restaurant being able to operate there. The most likely outcome if this article is defeated would be the eventual tearing down of the building (since without an operable septic system the building would be uninhabitable).

Town Asks To Sell Lil' Red Baron

Many more thanks to all of our fans & friends here and "out there" for all of your support during this incredibly challenging & trying situation. This warrant article is the result of meetings that we have had with the Town of Newport (our landlord) regarding the Septic system at our location.
THE LIL RED BARON HAS FINANCING LINED UP TO PURCHASE THE PROPERTY AND REPAIR/REPLACE THE SEPTIC - THE EXACT PRICE HAS NOT YET BEEN AGREED UPON AS WE STILL NEED TO WORK OUT THE EXACT NEW PROPOSED PROPERTY LINES & WE ARE AWAITING THE RESULTS OF A BUILDING AND THOROUGH ELECTRICAL SYSTEM INSPECTION. We are also getting second/third opinions on redesign and contractors to do the installation.
The situation has been developing since October 2013 - came to a head in September 2014 - became critical in January 2015 & the system lost any commercial viability entirely by the end of February 2015... forcing us to suspend operations until it can be resolved.
The initial cost estimate to repair/replace the system is VERY high & while it may not end up costing quite that much to fix it will not be cheap to properly address it going forward. It will also not be cheap to restart operations once it is clear that we will have a place to operate as we have (obviously) lost a lot of momentum over the last year & a half dealing with this "cloud choking the light out of the tunnel". We have also lost a lot of great Staff/Teammates as a result of the uncertainty & subsequent shut-down. It will be an uphill -out-of-the-hole kind of battle but having control of the real estate seems the only possible way to start building back up.

Newport is gearing up for its deliberate session on April 7 and the warrant is ready to view. In addition to asking Newport, voters if the town should sell Parlin Field Airport, voters will be aske...

WE REGRET TO ANNOUNCE that due to an ongoing & worsening issue with the building THE LIL'RED BARON HAS NO CHOICE BUT TO ENTER A PERIOD OF TEMPORARY SHUT DOWN UNTIL REPAIRS CAN BE MADE.

We apologize for any inconvenience and appreciate your continued support as we work through this major speed-bump. We are working through the details with our Landlord to acquire the property from them so that we can make the necessary repairs and get back to work!!

Please check back for updates as we will post with more detail and better estimate of time to re-open as information becomes available. At this stage it seems like it will be at least a few weeks but if all goes well then we should be back up and running before the outside seating season!!

Feel free to contact us with any questions, comments, concerns, etc. either via message here, through our website www.lilredbaron.com or on our voice mail at the restaurant 603-863-TACO (8226)

"On December 7, America remembers much and resolves much. We remember Pearl Harbor dead and wounded and its courageous survivors who fought that day and many other days as well. We remember too one of history’s clearest lessons, that weakness and unpreparedness do not build peace but invite aggression. We remember that our freedom, purchased at so dear a price, can be taken from us. And we resolve that that shall never be. We resolve that our strength, our vigilance, and our devotion will forever keep America the land of the free and the home of the brave. We resolve that we will keep faith with those we have loved and lost. And we resolve that, always, we will remember Pearl Harbor." - President, Ronald Reagan
