It’s not too late in the year for some golf, with a prime-time boxing match waiting in the Wings:

— Here’s to hitting the course with a cart and then Kozy Korner, because you care.

The bar and grill in North Hudson is asking people to accept the MS Challenge by participating in its annual golf tournament to support MS research — with all proceeds of course going to that MS challenge and walk. The event is Saturday, Sept. 21, with a shotgun start atb 1 p.m. at the River Falls Golf Course. The cost is $60 per person, $240 per team, and includes golf, a cart to ride, dinner and range balls. Players can then reconvene at Kozy Korner for more fun after the golfing. Players can still signup at Kozy Korner. For more information, call Kozy at (715) 386-7711.

— Hudson’s Buffalo Wild Wings had a completely full house last Saturday at its spacious venue when hosted a viewing of the top TV rated fight ever in Nevada, which saw Mayweather defeat Alvarez, both of whom were undefeated, in a WBA and WBC junior middleweight unification bout. It is the latest in a series of well attended fights that continue to be viewed on the many TVs at BWW, and the announcement about its prominent place in Vegas history was made on Thursday. The BWW patrons kept rapt attention during the fight that has been matched only by that when watching Packer football games, and even stood up from their high-top chairs to cheer at key moments, such as when a big punch was landed — or when a cameraman caught on video the sight of a dislodged mouthguard sliding down the length of one of the ropes.

— Also last Saturday, the late afternoon rain held off just long enough to allow good weather for three prominent annual events, the longtime running of the llamas in Hammond, the fourth annual rib fest contest and cookout and micro-brew sampling at the Willow River Saloon and Carbone’s Pizzeria in Burkhardt, and the Hudson Green Mill golf tournament. All of these had the good timing to be wrapping up their outdoor phase by about 4 p.m.

  • 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...

  • Did these regular bar fly guys really connect all their dots? Can a simple pill cure the tapeworm Tourette’s that connects most of your organs? Look deeper and take a deep dive into their take on the facts. It’s conservative to say there are huge holes the size of the Strait of Hormuz. Wide part, like the St. Croix …
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? (OK, that last part is fake news.) Spelled with the same number of letters and consonants, and using the same vowels, and I’ll give them that they...

  • See elsewhere on this page a new post. —– On Our No. 250, can we at least unite on a ditty? And hush more about the speech at Rushmore. While Congress carries on with their own, has it become a telethon? (We’d much rather broadcast The Eras, as Swift and her sweetie unite by tying the knot, with Sheeran and Sandler and Stevie.) So not even fall and elections, still our house is divided —– Newly added, more on music fest and heat note observations.
On this holiday weekend, I want to note that with an exception or two, our Union has never been universal, as in unified or united, much less totally uniform in its common and professional and congressional and judicial and presidential opinion, throughout as I will put it, about 244 of its 250 years. Roughly. (Roughrider at the presidential rodeo?) So not to rain on their parade, but it is apt that we have removed the right to piss in the great big reflective presidential pool, which might even help by killing some of the presidentially proliferating algae, or loosening the...
