“The Barn” opens with a new start

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at SFA chapter.

Some of us will miss Franks, a fresh restaurant, with a gourmet hot dog menu, but not to fear The Barn is here! Yes, some of you may have noticed the seemingly overnight transition of Franks into The Barn
Bar and Grill, which will feature a more tradtional menu inlcuding steaks and shrimp options. The Barn will also feature great music. The restaurant will only be open three days a week: Thursdays and Fridays from 11 a.m. until midnight, and Saturdays from 11 a.m. until 1 a.m.

The music will be varied, with a mix of Texas Red Dirt to traditional country, southern rock and even bluegrass. The Barn’s owener Aaron Montes hopes to also continue to be a venue for local bands as opening acts for the headliners. Some upcoming bands scheduled for performance include The John D. Hale Band, The Band of Heathens and the Full Band Headline.

Jessika Davidson is a senior at Stephen F. Austin State University majoring in Radio/TV communications with an emphasis in news writing and a public relations/photojournalism double minor. From Houston, TX, the humorous and vivacious campus socialite came to Nacogdoches to escape the hustle and bustle of Texas' big city. When she's not hard at work at the campus radio or TV station, she's often doing community service projects around town with her sorority sisters of Gamma Sigma Sigma, of which she is the chapter president of. She also enjoys working at her jobs, one as a Master Control Operator for the KTRE-9 TV station and one as the owner of Jessika Davidson Photography, where she travels the state with her beloved nikon, affectionately named "Gary", to shoot weddings. She is beyond excited to be a campus correspondent for SFA, and hopes to become a video journalist (news reporter) or a host of a entertainment show.
