Among all the noisemakers and party hats to choose from this New Year’s Eve, here are some of the more interesting options:
— With clothing-of-the-decade themes all the rage, but too often focusing just on the ’80s, Kozy Korner in North Hudson is having a ’70s vibe for costuming at its party, although some of the staffers were not sure exactly what such a theme entails.
— The band Thirsty Camel, a trio that is led on the drums by the owner of Season’s Tavern, will perform at the North Hudson venue on New Year’s Eve.
— Brian Naughton will bring his blues band to Dick’s Bar and Grill for an early evening show, followed by a night of deejay music. In all it’s about seven hours of tunes.
— When the whole last five days is taken into account, there is even a greater amount of music at the Willow River Saloon in Burkhardt. Pushing that figure over the top is the Mayer Brothers Band on New Year’s Eve, the third music act their in five days.
— Speaking of blues, Pudge’s Bar got a jump on things with an early evening show on Sunday, with Willie B. Blues, an act that is billed as “check out the frontman.” We hope you did.
— But some of the fun and games, are indeed games. A bartender at Village Inn in North Hudson said that she has the night off and is going to a Wild game. “My friend knows the dentist for the Wild,” she said. What, you mean hockey players need dentists? Meanwhile, one of her co-workers said that this was her last night — she’s jumping ship for Florida, and getting rid off a different kind of ice.
— Speaking of the Village, they will have the band Rewind on the 31st. Their flyers feature drawings of music notes that are twisted in shape to give a certain edginess.
— After all the fun the previous night, be certain to get up in time to stop by Kozy Korner prior to the noon kickoff wearing Wisconsin Badger Red attire (adding to the colorful, signed jerseys already adorning the walls) and get a free drink — one of the last chances for this great offer this football season. The Badgers are slim favorites on New Year’s Day in the Capital One Bowl at Orlando, Fla. They face South Carolina.

Hey today they threw it all back to you, as it is election day, and with it the last Badger gasp — if least if they’re our candidates — (is that the throaty noise they make?), with a soar-throated, campaign-trail rasp made by an audio-version plethora of last-minute flyers that fill our boxes with hopes to grasp, so we can check their boxes when we go to the polls and pick a (partial) winner to move on to full November midterms. Less then the Trump-triumphed manhandling our mailboxes got however, in the last election of this type. Those worn, creaking...

When my niece got married, everyone knew the wedding was going to be as extravagant and elaborate as they do it down in Austin, TX, where she worked for a couple of years before deciding to go back and get her Master’s in Wisconsin, in either Madison or Milwaukee, quickly done mind you and then soon, and after a slightly postponed European honeymoon and an apartment found, start working as a social worker in one of those two areas. So you can see, there is a degree of impulsivity, although she was very certain in her choice of a mate...
Hey, those marketers I compete with, and not telemarketers as even I wouldn’t stoop that low no matter how financially addled and not from India, with their flyer of the day(s), are getting more creative. As far as again, their marketing. Case in point. Don’t get me wrong, I love my Subway. And not the mass transit kind that’s full to the gills Out East. The food chain one has great prices for a whole lotta food, and great specials too. So this is not completely sour grapes. But this one rubbed me the wrong way, like an old sauce...
As the months turned, this is the season for truck and tractor pulls, (and corn feeds, too, all around), and this time around moreso, the kids are all right and cooking and taking the reins, as this weekend in Hammond Heartland Days, in the heart and center of St. Croix County. To that early-in-statement end, there is a truck and tractor pull At The Days, but don’t diss or miss it, it is not necessarily for these huge hulksters seen on ESPN lunking things like a semi and than climbing (aboard) up the steps of a set of bleachers to...
At the GasLite Bar and grill grounds in Ellsworth will commence in style the fourth annual TRIMBELLE DAYS event, running Aug. 1 and 2, with a noon Saturday start slated for the tractor pull (registration begins 90 minutes earlier) featuring antique and farm stock and shortly afterward Eddie’s acoustic solo act with a 1-3 p.m. outdoor bar and a Sunday, UTV Ride at 11 a.m. That’s followed up in a like minded way by the Saturday, Aug. 8 Hogs For Heroes with a presentation of keys ceremony at 12:30 p.m. with a Wisconsin veteran recipient getting Back to The Road with the healing gift...
