This weekend’s music lineup is a combination of the very veteran and some more than half their age:
— At The St. Croix County Fair in Glenwood City its the five-piece band Fourth Degree on Thursday night, another five-piece, vintage group in The WhiteSidewalls on Friday night, and a duo celebrating the 30th year of their music and variety show, The Memories, on Saturday night.
— The Smilin’ Moose continues to roll out a changing lineup to their patio acoustic show with Travis Lorentson on Friday evening, and Mark McAllister and Eli Pete on Saturday evening and Sunday, respectively.
— One option is to beat the summer heat, and the other is to revel in it. The Village Inn in North Hudson has a recurring soup special of salsa verde roast pork, and an everyday drink offering of Hell Chicken, which is described as pale ale and Yuzu. And then of course there are the two new chicken wing sauces from the Buffalo Wild Wings “lab” — Mandarin Kick and Scorpian Rum.
— They have not been at Dick’s Bar and Grill for a while, although the history goes back years. Good Time Willy, as you might guess a true crowd pleaser, renews the relationship on Friday evening.
