A West Hatfield institution burned to the ground on Thursday, according to Channel 3 News in Springfield. Holy Smokes Barbecue, which was housed in a church that was more than 100 years old, was destroyed by fire early in the morning. As of this moment, it is still not known what caused the fire.
Below is a link to the news story.

It will probably be awhile before the owners figure out what to do about rebuilding the restaurant, but if they do decide to rebuild and need to do some fundraising, I'll post any relevant links on this site in case people want to help. Let's hope they are able to rebuild, as Holy Smokes was surely an integral part of the community of West Hatfield.
