Regarding the name, several untrue stories exist, but Argabright tells me it was chosen simply as a matter of cost. "A travelling signwriter passing through town, who charged by the letter, offered to paint a name on our shop window. It was my father's friend and grandfather who chose 'owl' because it was short!" I noticed the entire bar area festooned with owls of all shapes and sizes, amid other paraphernalia including first responder badges galore. There were also hundreds of dollar bills pinned to the walls with little messages. "All gifts and mementos from appreciative customers," said Argabright. "Every year we count up the dollars and donate them to charity."
