Jim “Scrubby” Birchfield and his wife, Karen, ran the Scrubby’s Smokehouse Restaurant along Airbase Road near the main gate at Mountain Home Air Force Base. Scrubby was one of several people in the Mountain Home area who worked to create Air Force Appreciation Day -- a community celebration that honors the men and women stationed at the local Air Force base.
