The Donut Dude located in Liberty Township is now the newest Donut Trail location, bringing the total to 13 shops or a baker’s dozen. Featuring specialty donuts like a Jalapeno-Cheddar Fritter and cereal-inspired flavors as well as traditional varieties, The Donut Dude has already become a popular stop. “Donut Trail visitors are fun-loving folks, and they enjoy donuts immensely. Smiles grow bigger when people enter our shop and it’s a special feeling when you are the ones who are responsible for those smiles,” said Glen Huey, owner of The Donut Dude. To bring even more fun to the experience, The Butler County Donut Trail has also added a “Donut Concierge” and the “Extra Sweet Savings Pass.” The Butler County Visitors Bureau launched the Donut Trail in January of 2016.
