          Plymouth has become a destination town for those looking for unique dining experiences, a great burger or a superior Coney
        
        
          Island Hot Dog. No doubt about it, Plymouth is a special and unique community and every year, for more than six decades, the
        
        
          Plymouth Fall Festival has proven that to residents and visitors.  During this special event, civic groups, student organizations,
        
        
          churches and other charity efforts gather throughout the downtown to celebrate all that is Plymouth and attempt to raise funds
        
        
          for their various community causes.
        
        
          What may be overlooked occasionally are some of the major donors to those efforts. Business owners who year after year
        
        
          donate their time, labor and cash to helping these organizations and groups help the community.  These restaurant owners not
        
        
          only provide some of the finest dining and best meals available throughout the area, they give back to the community in ways
        
        
          many residents never realize.
        
        
          These folks feed more than the appetites, they also help nourish the soul of the community with their continued support for
        
        
          civic causes.
        
        
          Each and every one of themhas a reputation for great food, specialty dishes and terrific service.
        
        
          And they are each also known for the example they set of giving back to the community they serve.  Visit themsoonand enjoy!
