Schumachers announce plans to close hotel May 31
By Chuck Kajer
Tuesday was a busy day for Chef John and Kathleen Schumacher, proprietors of Schumacher’s Hotel and Restaurant in New Prague.
The Schumachers told their employees last week that they would be closing the internationally-acclaimed Inn on May 31, after 31 years of operation.
On Tuesday, word began to spread about the closing. The day began with an interview on WCCO-Radio, and much of the morning and early afternoon was spent talking with Twin Cities media.
