Many local businesses made the decision to close their doors early on Sat., January 24 with the incoming snowstorm that was predicted to bring 10+ inches of snow to the area. Pizza Hut in Versailles closed at 5 p.m. Saturday and was closed Sunday as well which created an extra supply of pizza dough due to the decrease in business hours.
