What better way to celebrate an anniversary, in a purely practical way, and not have the elapsed time be baggage:
— Are bean bags considered Practical Goods? There will be both at the grand opening (revisited) of Kozy Korner in North Hudson on Saturday, July 28. A bean bag tournament is set for 1 p.m. with a band of Hudson’s own, Practical Goods, playing at 4 p.m. And if you’re going by the Kozy Korner sign, this is an anniversary of an anniversary, as the event was first publicized on the marquee exactly one month ago.
— Andy and Kathryn Karg are a vocal/guitar/piano duo that cover multiple genres from the 50s on up, and they are at Urban Olive and Vine early on Saturday. Andy reigns from Nashville and brings his guitar swinging chops to match Kathryn’s Minnesota-homegrown piano virtuosity, combined with their tight and soaring harmonies.
— Also early on Saturday, the Smilin’ Moose switches it up from the bookends that are longtime acts on Friday and Sunday, and on Saturday afternoon on the patio can be found in the form of Dan Switch.
— If you’re a Cheesehead, Packer Backer, Badger fan, or someone with German heritage, you might be interested in this … A burger topped with bratwurst, sauerkraut and dijon beer cheese sauce, the monthly special now available at Broz in Falls.
