Reporters email is at top of the article. I sent her and the tourist board an email that I would never sent foot in Lexington till the RED Hen was gone.

Anyone familiar with Lexington know if they are red or blue?
So the “Red Hen” laid a big, fat, egg in Lexington...well, that goes with liberalism.

The responses will help indicate where marketing money should be spent and what kind of messages need to be sent out, Williams said.
“We would certainly try to portray ourselves as a friendly, welcoming place,” she said. “And focus our marketing toward accomplishing that goal.”

Welcoming, unless you’re a Trump supporter.
So others are paying for the sins of the Red Hen; so typical of the Left. The Red Hen is still in business, and and well booked from what I have read elsewhere. More work to be done.
It’s a beautiful area but what else do you do but visit Washington & Lee, drop a penny on Traveller’s grave and visit the military academy? Sounds like this kind of activity is something conservatives would do more than left wingers. But I may be wrong.
Ignore Red Hen. Visit Jackson’s home.
.
I have a feeling this may be a bleed over effect related to Washington & Lee University. As with most universities, W&L seems to be suffering from an internal coup by leftist academics. Sooner rather than later, they’re going to start demanding that R. E. Lee be wiped from memory. They’re already demanding that Lee Chapel be renamed.
Visit Lexington and stay at the Robert E. Lee Hotel. That’ll show them.
I wish some enterprising journo would ask the people who own The Red Hen is the biz is receiving any outside financial assistance to stay afloat. If someone is funneling money to the restaurant, it would interesting to know who, how much, and why.
FYI
I wouldn’t go there.
1. It’s dirty
2. They gang up on visitors and run them out.
To help repair the damage, perhaps the town could spend some of those funds apologizing big time to Sara and inviting her back for a chance for them to show her that she is welcome there. But I am betting that they will not do anything like that being the leftist they are.
We were on our way north on I81 in mid-July, and we actually drove past there as I wanted to see just what this dip-stick joint looked like. Afterwards, we went to the local Walmart to use the rest rooms before continuing our journey north. So we did our little part to help the local economy by contributing to the sewer system there....all thanks to the Red Hen as we’d probably never have stopped there otherwise.
The
Tourism Board should give the money to Lexington to ‘tar and feather’ the Red Hen owners and haul them out of town!!!
So sad that their overt and premeditated rudeness to a customer caused a town emergency. That reminds me - I need to post another Red Hen review. I may post about their neighboring businesses that are trying to protect those disgusting people too.
Bad chicken will not draw tourists.
The Red Hen is now #6 of 61 Restaurants in Lexington on TripAdvisor. https://www.tripadvisor.com/Restaurant_Review-g57896-d1115746-Reviews-The_Red_Hen-Lexington_Virginia.html
Before the Red Hen owners engaged in anti-social behavior by booting Sarah Sanders from the restaurant the Red Hen was the #1 rated restaurant in Lexington. Good to see the Invisible Hand of Capitalism at work in a Socialist Totalitarian restaurant.
I thought the most recent review was interesting.
MissTBlu West Hollywood, California had this say: “As a locavore restaurant it is natural that their menu will change frequently. When I first sat down I was concerned as there didn’t seem to be any offerings for this pescetarian/vegetarian.”
It appears Locavore pescetarian/vegetarians really like the Red Hen. Only problem is there are only a few of them.
Just kick out Red Hen.
Then vow NEVER to allow such a business there
The Red Hen makes the community sound unfriendly. Why would anybody go there? Also ... what would be found by a customer who was super particular about food safety and cleanliness?
