How many states are there where country is king? There are that many states of mind on the genre at RF Days this weekend

As should surprise no one these days, country in all its various forms and combinations with other genres, will rule at River Falls Days this weekend.
Things get going early on Friday, with a band that plays just what its name describes, Old School, at 4 p.m. Then a relatively new area act that has been riding high on the country highway takes over — fresh off a Thursday appearance at New Richmond’s annual festival — Rural Route 5, at 8 p.m. Lastly, another group with a largely similar name, that gives a nod to just what type of country they will be playing, Red Dirt Road, closes starting at 10:30 p.m.
On Saturday, its a band with yet another telling name, Journey to Recife, at 2 p.m. Paisan and the Family Brass takes over the stage, with their varied styles on display, at 7 p.m. Sushi Roll comes rolling along, with a dance twist added in, at 10 p.m. There are two more acts that follow on Sunday, Beebe and Keeley, as the similar vowels are roughly the same in number as again, the styles played, and they are on bright and early at 11 a.m. The folksters in The Hunyuks close out the fest at 2 p.m. Unless otherwise noted, bands will play at Heritage Park on the banks of the Kinnickinnic River.
And, you will find additional bands during the weekend at Johnnie’s Bar on Main Street, and at selected other establishments.
— You have this weekend in the bag, because of bookends to the city of Hudson. There are early “bags fly” events, beanbag tossing tourneys that is, all over in the coming days. First is July 14 at the New Richmond Fun Festival, (starting late morning), then July 15 as part of River Falls Days, (starting at noon), sponsored by the River Falls Moose Lodge.

Social media commentators at all levels and news media alike are — just in time for Earth Day — mining the latest Boundary Waters area news with headlines about the latest rollback of Obama and Biden era environmental protections to pristine water quality for what can, legally, be done with potentially destructive commerce in that region, passing the Minnesota legislature by the narrowest of margins. The reactions have ranged from who cares, to asking if our legislators do care, about the plan to mine metals, backed by a Chilean corporate giant, whose name sounds like a death metal band. The...
So, the Winter Olympics is history, as is the Super Bowl in suspense, and March Madness mania is now mundane, so have you gotten enough of … curling as a sport? Don’t just go ho hum. Like my friend Tom sorta was/is. More on that midway. The summer Olympics aren’t coming around for a bit, to fill your taste for sports. But baseball is underway, so there is more than one four-person, four-bagger with four hot dog-one beer, sobriety limits, even for the Brew Crew. (See below). — That aside, the long winter is over, the whole Boundary Waters Area returns to...
Trump vs. Pope Leo? I’ll take God. And even most atheists would agree with the first part. The battle against Trump becomes more universal. Trump as Jesus? This is an even easier call. I’ll take The Christ not The Donald. But wait, Trump said, or at least pictured, I am He? While facing foes he did not fight with while in The Garden, not Madison Square, and not while entertaining lavishly at a gala at Mar-A-Lago. Trump could take a lesson. Or he could read The Good Book more. (But he does seem to know what a Sacred Heart is, or at least how to...
Water, water everywhere, and no fluoride to drink … water, water nowhere, better flood the sink. But hold your horses if not your hose and hold on a minute, they voted it down. At least here in New Richmond last Tuesday. So in the week since, we feel the fallout of Trump and his ilk such as RFK Jr. now falling down in failure. There still is lifegiving, if not lifesaving, fluoride to be found in the fluid that spouts from the municipal water system. The mandate-worthy referendum result was to keep teeth-building fluoride in the city supply, by a...
I don’t know what this is, exactly, but I know I want a part of it. There is a Naked Root plant sale at Farrill’s Sunrise Nursery and Garden Center that’s located east of, as in rural, Hudson, away from semi-urban congestion, on two days on each of the next two weekends, including this one according to their sign, rounding out April with extended sale days. That could, it seems to me, correspond with the release — as a knockoff — of the Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue. Think just a bit of Knock Weed, or knotweed, barely covering a beauty from...
As Easter began to close down, like a defender in March Madness for Michigan kicking U-Conn, the signs still could be seen heading out on the highway, like Jesus in and around Emmaus of old. The man-of-right-age as a driver wore a T-shirt on Monday, the next day, that I think was for a metal band, and could have been either a stick figure with slim limbs and thick torso ready for a spear to come and sitting in a chair, or Christ on the cross bent over a bit sideways, like he’d been forced to haul that awful tree too...
