Thank you for all the wonderfull times we had at Skippy's!! Forestville hasn't had as great a place to go since it closed. Lyn and Don were the best. The steak & lobster was the best!What a hometown experience that can't be duplicated. There are many of us who will always cherish those times. and will always remember you.
