Hwy 63 Bridge Closed: No Bridge, No Problem!
Construction Update
The Highway 63 bridge just south of Louie's Finer Meats remains closed. The highway is scheduled to open around September 25.
*If you're coming from the north, you can drive to us as normal.
*If you're arriving from any other direction and would usually use the Highway 63 bridge, find an alternate route - the shortest route is to follow our detour signs going north on 8th Street from Highway 48, 1.5 miles east of Cumberland.
*If you are walking or riding a bike, there is a pedestrian path through the construction area.
Please note that the official bridge detour will not bring you to us, so be sure to watch for our signs instead. It is a short, scenic drive that adds only about 5 minutes to your normal trip.
We truly appreciate your patience, your support, and your extra effort to keep shopping local. As always, please drive respectfully near our neighbors. The alternate route is not designed for high speeds. We'll see you on the other side.
Heading north? You will be able to go straight north from here on Highway 63 without returning to the detour.
*There is also construction in progress on Highway 63 between Cumberland and Turtle Lake. Long delays are not expected and the highway is open at all times with periodic lane closures.

Recipe: Penne & Smoked Sausage
This is a hearty and flavorful dish that brings together the smoky richness of Louie's sausage with tender pasta. This quick and easy recipe is perfect for busy weeknights, offering a delicious meal that’s ready in no time. The smoked sausage is sautéed with onions, garlic, and bell peppers, then simmered in a savory tomato sauce that clings to every bite.
Ingredients:
- 12 ounces penne pasta
- 1 pound Louie's smoked sausage of your choice, sliced into rounds
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 medium onion, finely chopped
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 1 yellow bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 1 can (14.5 ounces) diced tomatoes
- 1/2 cup chicken broth
- 1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
- 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional, for heat)
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- Fresh parsley or basil leaves, for garnish (optional)
Instructions:
- Cook the Pasta:
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
- Add the penne pasta and cook according to the package instructions until al dente.
- Drain and set aside.
- Sauté the Sausage:
- In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
- Add the sliced smoked sausage and cook until browned on both sides, about 5 minutes.
- Remove the sausage from the skillet and set aside.
- Cook the Vegetables:
- In the same skillet, add the chopped onion and sauté until softened, about 3-4 minutes.
- Add the minced garlic and sliced bell peppers, and cook for another 4-5 minutes until the peppers are tender.
- Make the Sauce:
- Stir in the diced tomatoes, chicken broth, dried Italian seasoning, red pepper flakes (if using), salt, and black pepper.
- Bring the mixture to a simmer and let it cook for 5-7 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
- Combine and Serve:
- Add the cooked penne and browned sausage back into the skillet with the sauce.
- Toss everything together until the pasta and sausage are well coated with the sauce.
- Sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese and parsley or basil if desired.
