Uncle Dave The Barber cuts the ribbon
Body
Uncle Dave The Barber is officially in business following a Tuesday noon ribbon-cutting hosted by the Canadian/Hemphill County Chamber of Commerce. “Uncle Dave” is David Strickland, who moved to Canadian in the summer of 2021, and opened his shop at 911 S. 2nd St. (in the office of the former Texaco Station) on Dec. 15, 2021. Strickland bills himself as “the best male barber in Canadian,” and expressed his gratitude to all “for welcoming me into the community.” Uncle Dave’s is open Tuesday-Friday from 8 am to 5 pm, Saturdays from 8 am to 12 noon, and closed every Sunday and Monday. You can give Uncle Dave a call at 479.883.4288. David and DeLynne (Dunn) Strickland (center) were joined for their grand opening Tuesday by Tony Capetillo (seated in the barber chair); Chamber employees Jackie McPherson and Cely McPherson; and holding each end of the ribbon, board members Michelle Schaef and Sherye Talley.
