You don’t have to cross the county line to hear some great jams to open this holiday weekend.

— If you know the County Line Boys from way back when, then you probably know Lyle Baumgartner, who was longtime stalwart for the band that formed in the 1970s in the Spring Valley area and reunited in 2012. Baumgartner will play the Willow River Saloon in Burkhardt on Saturday night, May 24. The six-man C0unty Line Boys were known for all kinds of country and bluegrass music, and Baumgartner was a guitarist and vocalist, roles he reprises this weekend.

— It’s fitting that with this three-day-weekend being the unofficial opening of summer, and the weather finally being cooperative, that Jambo Jones is bringing his trop rock act to Dick’s Bar and Grill for a gig that runs from 6-9 p.m. I’m sure that Jimmy Buffett would love the scenario, although I doubt he would use that word.

  • 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...

  • When they got hitched, in the long haul, it went off without a hitch or glitch. This wedding was The Big One, for me pre-empting that of Taylor Swift or the latest (re)marriage of one of the royals. Now, after these multinational nuptuals, off on a European honeym0on.
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...

  • Snoop Dogg doing his Tony The Tiger take while hawking Cheetos saved it. How you can win a fun and Fandango movie deal when bundling, sorta, with Subway, or score a walk-on role for a movie set in summer-of-love Paris or such. Details below, for a limited time, as these movies hit in July.
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...

  • Heartland Days stays true to the heart of its name and lets kids of all ages rule the roost. Photograph them and give them their due aND turn behind the wheel, with A garden tractor or FFA approved. There’s music, too, if you wait to the fest’s end, after the parade.
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...

  • Event announcement — Also running down south
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...
