  HONORING ON-AFTER BAR AND GRUB FOR RECEIVING THE 2019 FAYETTEVILLE 
             CHAMBER OF COMMERCE BUSINESS OF THE YEAR AWARD

                                 ______
                                 

                          HON. RICHARD HUDSON

                           of north carolina

                    in the house of representatives

                        Wednesday, March 6, 2019

  Mr. HUDSON. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor and congratulate On-
After Bar and Grub for receiving the Fayetteville Chamber of Commerce 
Business of the Year Award.
  On-After Bar and Grub has established itself as a staple in the 
community and does more than just serve a great meal. They have proven 
to be a reliable leader in the community and continue to go above and 
beyond to support the community where ever it is needed.
  Joseph Dewberry, or known around the bar as Bear, has been a driving 
force in adding meaning to their slogan ``Our day begins, when your 
shift ends.'' Over the past few years they have hosted events like the 
Autism Awareness cook off, Hurricane Florence Relief, Every Child 
Deserves a Christmas, and Domestic Violence Awareness and Prevent Day. 
In addition to hosting events they emphasize the importance of 
recognizing the service our local law enforcement, emergency services, 
and military provide. The entire community is grateful for On-After Bar 
and Grub, myself included.
  Bear and all the staff at On-After Bar and Grub are deserving of this 
award and I wish them success as they continue to provide excellent 
service to our community. I personally look forward to my next visit 
while I'm traveling across the district!
  Madam Speaker, please join me today in congratulating Joseph Dewberry 
and On-After Bar and Grub Restaurant on receiving the 2019 Fayetteville 
Chamber of Commerce Business of the Year Award.
