Food, drink and frolic mean Seasons has synergy with Pepper Fest, which is kitty-corner

Seasons Tavern owner Brad chimes in on the Pepper Fest relationship, which plays out again this weekend in North Hudson, as everyone can get a “happy” feeling at the restaurant and bar — even during throat-burn eating contests at both places.
“The synergy between the Seasons Tavern experience and the Pepper Festival is definitely there,” he said. “The whole community is celebrating one of the ‘largest’ small-town events, and Seasons Tavern is right in the middle of that event. If there is a party going on, we want to be a part of it and add to it!”
Saturday, Aug. 15, promises to be a big day full of pep for Seasons Tavern.
They will serve breakfast sandwiches and hot Italian Beef sandwiches outside during the parade, and offer a full-service breakfast inside starting at 8 a.m. The full menu will be available from 11 a.m. to 11 p.m. with appetizers being served until 1 a.m.
The outdoor bar and beer garden will open at 10 a.m., with the Wicked Wing Challenge starting at 2 p.m. and the band Thirsty Camel starting 3 p.m.
Ten people are already signed up for the wings challenge, and that fills up the bill. But there still will be lots of opportunity for spectating this decidedly “hot” food event. Last year, when it was first held, upwards of 40 people watched in awe, giving standing ovations to the best competitors as they finished eating.
“The bartenders are ‘Seasoned’ in the history of Pepper Fest and the name of the restaurant is intentional, to incorporate the experience of the staff along with the history of the building and location,” Brad said.
“As far as parking, we offer parking to Seasons guests only, and do our best to manage that. I think street parking is the best way to go.”

  • The (World) Cup runneth over on the global stage, but not for the U.S. Soccer team, only others that advanced, and were heavily watched, even locally very far from a continent that mattered. now it does that for you, so spill the wine and light the firecrackers. And ask your knowledgable bartender or other bro about that ankle twist.
I wonder if they celebrated in Belgium like they did in the U.S., in advance, partying in the streets with maybe rioting coming later, prior to the win of the former over the latter in the mere — but still highly publicized, even here — quarterfinals of the FIFA World Cup that would continue on for another two weeks or so, then bow out soon after killing the U.S. hopes. The Elite Eight, if I can borrow a term from NCAA basketball, can be a bitch. First term, not second one. Wait, isn’t that a political reference? Anyway, they are...

  • Before history got very far, there was the full tilt boogie, with scores of meanings. This is also the name of an amped up upcoming two-day event at The Gaslite. Also in this post, the effort to buildup various venues is described, and the times of St. Croix County Fair music listed.
With the Full Tilt Boogie, the Friday and Saturday choppers/vans/bands/camping event at The Gaslite near Ellsworth, they offer us a lesson in not only music with the likes of Janis Joplin references and also the road running machines and what they’ll bring to the frantic jamming, but the sciences and history? (But first, there is a Friday movie and DJ at The Gaslite, and on Saturday a premier Van Halen cover band, Extermination Day Band, (know your history), the Rumours Band and Smokey Mirror.) But (sub)-standard or lesser known historical subtexts of the event title for the 17th and 18th,...

  • Blonde and Brunette and redheaded group The Divas, decked out divinely in red and white and blue, take the stage in tribute to the troops at the St. Croix County Fair from July 15-19. In advance of the anthems provided by these and five other bands, enter or take in a contest of the most patriotic of flora, in all those colors and more! Poppies are only the start.
I have a plethora of times paraphrased her and made preposterous puns pointing at her pronouncements, about bands that give brand new meaning to long running and return engagement, and all the other activity, old and even new, that just keeps bubbling up at The Fair … I have worked with Gail Maier, an organizer of the St. Croix County Fair that now mid-July resurfaces to its forefront flair this weekend, for several years running now, so here is her on it, verbatim: “Yes, by all means go for it. We especially want to promote The Tribute to the Troops...

  • XBox workers get the axe, as there are again calls to overhaul a controversial visa program that brings workers here who are called highly skilled in specialties. Does that include roadies from England? Or do they hit the road, too? Could be, as this program was reformed and renamed under the rule of various presidents, since before the dawn of rock.
The news that Microsoft will fire thousands of workers in both the immediate and long term, related mostly to its once-industry leading XBox gaming system, has raised scrutiny over an old immigration loophole, largely, that allows workers dubbed as highly skilled from other countries, who would otherwise not be let in, to be brought here to solve the labor needs including shortages of mostly large employers. That’s this business news breakdown, in a nutshell, fighting through the gobbledygook. Or so it goes. This company that in a recent year just got done firing many thousands, has now announced it is...

A few of these local conservative guys actually made some sense — sorta, or at first.(I refer to Trump’s slamming connected to his recent posting of photos of Minnesotan kindergartners allegedly wearing hijabs at a graduation, and a few regular guys chugging down at the local booze hall in a (possibly) less discriminatory way (beer goggled brain?) and thinking out loud (with low vocabulary) that they are what, just another name for khakis?
