The new bar and restaurant is set to open Monday, May 6.
The mechanical bull at the new Cowboy Jack’s in Woodbury is from the 1980 John Travolta movie Urban Cowboy. “It’s a little piece of trivia and it’s kind of fun,” said Chris Diebold, owner. He said it was a “super long story” getting the bull from the movie. The first mechanical bull he planned to buy didn’t pan out when the seller on eBay seemed a little fishy, Diebold said. The mechanical bull comes from Gilley’s, a bar in Texas that served as the backdrop for Urban Cowboy, he said.

The Woodbury Fire Department was able to quickly extinguish both.
The Woodbury Fire Department was able to extinguish two grass fires that broke out along Interstate 94 on Tuesday afternoon. The first call came in at about 12:30 p.m., and the second fire was going by the time crews arrived, said Michelle Okada, Public Safety spokeswoman. Both fires, which sent plumes of smoke in the air and prompted several emergency calls, were on the north side of the freeway, she said. One was west of Inwood Avenue (Radio Drive). The other was about a quarter mile east near Interstate 694, Okada said. Firefighters were able to extinguish both by about 12:50 p.m., and crews were gone by about 1 p.m. It’s unclear at this point what started the fires, or if one started the other, Okada said.
