Owners of Isle of the Rhodes restaurant celebrated their 40th anniversary of serving Morrison, IL, residents and those of surrounding communities on W. Main Street. They opened in 1982 at 100 W. Main, across the street from the current location, 111 W. Main.
Morrison Chamber of Commerce joined in a traditional Ribbon Cutting to honor this anniversary. The ceremony was held during the Chamber Schuckfest event, on Saturday, July 30, 2022.

These clever cakes, made by Welling, were offered to the public to celebrate the occasion. Food-themed treats consisted of a lower layer of cupcakes topped with a creative icing design. They simulated popular Isle of Rhodes foods: a dish of spaghetti and pepperoni pizza.
