You can call it five different music acts — six if you count the musical comedy, a theme here, of Ole and Elmer — in seven or thus eight different performances. Then add muttin busting and a diaper dash, simultaneously, and much more, and you’ve got the St. Croix County Fair!

The St. Croix County Fair is several music acts and more, and various variety of every type you can imagine that’s hard to beat, and here are selected activities over in Glenwood City. (For a thorough breakdown, see the two posts below).
First of course, lets start with the music:
— The Whitesidewalls rock N roll review, 7 p.m. on Friday at Croix Court.
— The Weekenders classic rock, 7:30 p.m. on Friday at the Tiffany Creek Pavilion north of the horse arena, (yes there are two bands playing at one time!).
— String Showdown challenge, with three shows for your buck, (no wait as all music is free), at 1 and 3 and 5 p.m. on Saturday.
— Blue Moon Drive, honky tonk classic country, 7:30 p.m. on Saturday at the Tiffany Creek Pavilion. (See more on them below).
— The Memories musical variety show, 8 p.m. on Saturday at Croix Court, and they will also help lead a non-denominational church service at 8 a.m. on Sunday.
These are some of those other, as stated, selected activities of the many during the weekend:
— Muttin Busting and Boot Scramble, and also the diaper dash, both of them, at noon on Saturday.
— George of the Jungle with comedy, music and juggling, at 2 and 4 p.m.
— Ole and Elmer, (yes more musical comedy with Swede theme), 1 p.m. on Sunday, and also the Fairest of the Fair at 2 p.m. Sunday, both of them, at Croix Court.
Lastly, a Blue Moon Drive breakdown, as they hail from Roberts, which is pretty darn close to Glenwood City.
Blue Moon Drive is heavy on the cowboy hats, honky tonk style, at least half of the men sporting those that are black. Johnny Cash vibes?
There will no doubt be killer sightings of their trademark koozies. Not just cross-county and a bit more, as in Prescott, and Little Yellow River, but at times cross-country and cross-continent, transported all the way from Juneau, Alaska.
There is much more to meet the eye, and for the rest of the story see the fair’s website.

A hodgepodge listing of everything that’s truly different but maybe baked porage follows, and we’re not talking about a connect-the-dots or puzzle-pieces contest or one on Trump’s foreign policy, haha, rather what I saw and what will be seen around town in recent times. Mostly, one of each. Think you have the world’s, or more likely local church’s, best grilled cheese sandwich, (coming from the land of, specifically, well curded and curdled milk and honey?) Fry it to the test on Saturday. No this is not an autumn chili cookoff, or char the best burger, or even a poker run...

  • Give props to the several bands for climbing partway up deer-stand-style lofts, then taking to all but the lute. (We saw virtually every other style of smaller instrument at a Music in the Trees fundraiser for a nature preserve.) Yes, they dropped a couple of drumsticks to the forest floor, but perservered as a fan fave. Then a band from The Andes stole the show.
Music in the trees? It conjures up images of a poet wearing millenniums-ago robe and sandals while playing a lute and propped onto the fourth fork of a bigger-than-usual apple tree and doing a balancing act on his ass while he sings a soliloquy or a soffit. Maybe taking a bite in-between verses, to match what listeners chomped on if they hauled it in down long nature paths, making for dinner and a show with duos and trios, and one huge and elaborate band. Well didn’t quite get that lute-ist. Or a bassist so high on life and so-forth stoned...

  • The start of one song, was simply “Question?” So we’ll lead off this story — Guess Who? — with who will lead the blue as it attempts to fade in with the red in the county in this election cycle? Can we get to The Color Purple? Mock the Maroon? (A scam Alert!!! My post is massively updated after my short trip between Badger and Gopher states. So read on.)
Questions everywhere? These days, how do you dismiss an ad or a politician, or whoever or whatever pops up and occupies your computer screen, or mailbox, electronic or otherwise? And did that answer in the form of a package or letter or even air waves — coming from a pol or a pool? — ever actually arrive, like all those ads and flyers? Maybe it never will? And surely not written with a quill. As one friend just reminded me, it all starts with one problem leading into another set of problems. Or, like a volcano boiling and brewing and...

  • The hearsay vote will be read by some as pure heresy, as Hermening spies the ‘country club crowd’ for how he can putt to quasi-greatness and quash Trump. Then in today’s election there’s a pro-life, run-of-the-mill muckadymuck, a Hong pro-education predictable, and a sharper than the average sheep Shannon (yes it’s a he.) THat’s what flyers tell us about the Day’s Of Our Lives. Today.
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...
