The Snack restaurant handed out more than 500 dishes of the French fries, gravy and cheese curds on Aug. 3 to celebrate its 10th anniversary. “We love being part of the community, and we wanted to give back to the community as a way of saying thank you and also taking care of community,” said Chris Vladimir, manager of The Snack.
