This is taking the Arch and the following Beans and extending it way into White Out night and the foam it brings along. And all this to extend the New Years Eve special into not only a first, but a second day, and/or night at BX Mexican in downtown River Falls. Featured music, as you might guess, are provided by Steve Arch, followed of course in that manner by DJ Beans. This will likely give more sustenance then what your grandma provided in her salad on New Years Eve. And to boot, and you might need these getting your way home in this snow, which is part of the fun, for $21 there is indeed a cover, but it includes a free drink of your choice. Might I suggest something brimming with ice? And you should know that the first part of the evening and its music is 18-plus. Youth is served, at least for a while.

Its the perfect triangle of sought after music, DJ and dancing until late, and multiple food and drink specials at the Village Inn for a rockin’ Eve
January 1st, 2020This is not a one-trick pony, at the Village Inn for New Years Eve. There is one, a performance by the much sought after act the Jorgensons, two, a DJ after that until well into the morning, and three, way over the top food and drink specials that everybody loves, like New York Strip steak, shrimp cocktail, both tacos and enchiladas, and even more special $5 top shelf margaritas … OK, you get the point.
Many might rue this act’s crooning routine if missing getting merry in Minnesota at The Bungalow for NYE with Gary LaRue; and at the other end, party when you’re able in RF
December 31st, 2019You care to talk about New Years Rockin’ Eve as far as a tradition? Rapidly reached that marker is Gary LaRue at the Bungalow Inn in Lakeland, with a crooning style that smacks of singers like Sinatra but is still all its own. Combine that with drink specials that are also all their own, and vintage wines, and you have the makings of an Eve that rocks without being out on the coast.
With the Wild Badger in New Richmond, there is music that gives you double or triple the sound, when it comes to names. The party is with Michael Paul and DJ Stacy goes on to 4 p.m., and there are also the party favors and other such offerings at midnight, like lots of other venues but more prominent. And on addition is a reserve ride home by calling (715) 293-2755, so you don’t necessarily need to watch your Ps and Qs so much once 3:30 rolls around.
Kozy Korner in North Hudson never has a closing time, so the party rolls on into the next day. And you want breakfast? Its available all that time, starting at 2 a.m., meaning that you can gets your eggs over easy and much more while rocking hard in such a way for the equivalent of the time of a football doubleheader.
Get to Fiesta Cancun early, as they are not so much the late nighters as some, but it will be worth it for their unique Mex styled drink specials.
For another kind of ethnic themed party check out the Spanish, Cuban and Latin influence at Pedro del Este. And its hard to miss the big urban ambiance provided when serving their small plate specials, which was mainly responsible for introducing that concept to the Hudson area and will not make you so stuffed that you can’t party all night.
For a total adult fare experience, hit the Cajun Club in Houlton to top off your eve and there just might be a lady named Eve ready to go her thing with you in one of their newly remodeled VIP rooms.
And for something also different, hit the roaring ’20s party at the Corner Saloon in River Falls with music by Abel starting at 10 p.m. Formal attire is encouraged and be careful not to spill on your lapel, as there are shot and drink specials all night.
So many places for Santa to work with elves and depend on them for navigation, as his cheer even extends to cherry, in many ways. Ask Rudolph
December 26th, 2019Christmas is more than egg nog, as it hits River Falls $1 beer, even though Rudolph might steer far enough off course from the north pole, when negotiating his way through Canada, to only hit Colorado:
— And just where might these places be, like the closely guarded secret that is the location (locally?) of Santa’s workshop? And created is all kinds of art, but sorry exclusions at the upcoming low price include egg nog. But leading the way, for a meager $1.50 you get Pepsi, Diet Pepsi, Cherry Pepsi, Sprite, Root Beer, Crush or Mountain Dew, and also coffee, iced tea or lemonade. And don’t forget a nearby haunt up past the Hill, where many such items on this kind of list are below a dollar and can fuel your artistic endeavors, too. Might be enough to make you go back to the drawing board, and take in that very place, Cheers Pablo. Or fuel other endeavors that have nothing to do with a brush, unless you’ve just gotten a couple of those River Falls, college town, $1 beers bought for you, and are working on your hair as well as getting that guy to take you home for non-holiday-related cheerfulness.
— Last time, I reported that a copies of the Cat in the Hat, latter part of the name, may have been beheaded, setting in the highway median, and you know how long construction crews take to move non-working-man-stuff on out? Did ISIS do it, well no, these were merely oddly colored and striped pylons. But would the lingering holiday effect make the Fat Cat headstrong, like almost all kitties are? Or quite religious (OK that’s a stretch). But the Lutherans have their Reformation Day right at Halloween. I swear that a lyric from my childhood was, “He lives my ever living head.” Bone in?
— Two are one in busy North Hudson businesses in their mens bathrooms. First was a sign above the toilet saying to please be gentle, the flush lever is working hard; isn’t that what she said? And speaking of flush, perhaps it would be appropriate for the man — sorry men — showing the more-then-mustache drawing on a sign at the Village, namely a big bad eyebrow extending up the right side of his forehead, and blips all over an ad for work as a — guess what — bartender.
— The three and one are singing their swan songs, involving cars. Recent deaths have been Rick O’Kasic of The Cars, Gary Numan who sings about cars, or a bigger ticket, Eddie Money, or always gets his thrill ride behind the wheel. Then U of M Coach Doug Woog wrestled with death and eventually succumbed. My connection with this scene, such as it is, is that when barely legal, I kissed all the girls at a house party to start the ’80s, as they were sitting on couches in an informal line. And listening to The Cars.
And with that printed here is my admonishment to get singing now, for you never know, the coming forces of Halloween evil (who work well into Xmas) might bring you ‘shorter of breath and one day closer to death’
It became Quick Six, not quite times ten, but for several others celebrating with a quick fix on the same otherwise slow night, it was also time to get singing You Say Its Your Birthday, and the traditional song is always a part of it (hopefully there won’t be that unfortunate soul who feels an obsessive need to harmonize, “and many more.”)
— As these things go, at least I’m just the other side of 60. And a bartender friend said that rather than my just turned 58 years of age, I look 56. (Some have said more like 40, when I have my literal grayish beard — or is it white — shaved off). Be that as it may, I ran into old friend Stacy on my birthday weekend — as an aside she looks just like Kate Hudson, really, but a younger version as Kate has had more than a few additional birthdays. Stacy said it was not only her birthday that day, but that of three of her friends who also were celebrating there, not to mention a fifth birthday girl at the other end of the bar. They made up a full half of the patronage that night. Stacy wanted to make this an announcement, so she stood up and clinked her glass, (but make no mistake about it, not for a birthday kiss, I’m too old). But there’s more. The next night it was Jeff Loven’s birthday, so he had a sub musician come in, and there was even one more birthday girl who ended up getting thrown in the mix. The antithesis to all this celebrating is Matt, who is a very good and valued friend of Hudsonwinightlife, who has proclaimed that now turning 40, he is done forever with birthdays, even if there is a party involved.
Ditto with my dad, who whom I made some tentative plans to swoop up mom (who is more into music and loved a past karaoke night with me, and even wanted to stay in the crowd when I was ready to call it a night) and celebrate his birthday with a downtown band. It fell short because everyone needed to get to bed early, and mom said, if you had made this offer 10 years ago … But she is well versed in Bruce Springsteen, for example, whereby dad has never even heard of Ozzy Osbourne and for a long time considered all this Devil’s Music — he particularly didn’t like Revelation (Mother Earth) even though being a Bible Thumper — and mom, being the stereotypical German, felt obliged to follow suit when voicing her opinions. So when they come for MY birthday, its usually just stay home and foresake the local festivals as everyone took a nap, there was no going to any kind of harvest fest. An end note: When the noted local musician, the late Jeff Johnson, who even got a lot of mainstream national airplay over decades, said he wanted local celebritities to sing on his concept album and I was asked, and I told my dad I was flattered by the invite, and he shot back that they’re probably just a bunch of potheads. I said I didn’t know these musicians that well, just sing or song or two with them, and I don’t know what they do backstage! But I told dad, I didn’t respond about what I was going to do going forward with this possibility, just considered it nice to be in the same company as, say, my old friend Rebecca Kolls. And even though Jeff said he had written a song especially for me to sing, I wasn’t quite comfortable as being characterized as a “local celebrity,” although I’ve heard that term used many times since.
— And the new, sorta, car shows go on, and will surely be put on substantial display at one of the latest organized gatherings. There was the bumblebee with a flair of black flame, another car where the exact color ratio was a bit checkered, and then one more where yes, the base color was yellow, but there were literally hundreds of small decals decorating it up. And lastly, there was seen a bright neon car that could without winter coming be one of those environmental thingees not much bigger than a golf cart — even though that was often seen — that also had a burst of flame on the side door. And among others, would they be at the recent Willow River Car Club show in the town of Hudson? That recent Saturday had showers but only scattered, and a rain date was listed for the following day. Hopefully between the two …
— The Surly brew production area is open 24 hours, it was announced. They say that they’d prefer to be open 25, and would use that time to brew more beer. I think the Wisconsin drinkers made that a given — as they love their Surly without hopefully getting surly — or for sure the fact that there is a dark beer patterned after First Avenue in Minneapolis, touted at Darkness Days in Somerset, that is available even in the Badger State (insert geography references).
— Again about that eye-sore one-room wreck of a house on Monroe Street in North Hudson. Workers finally appear to be working overtime to put a finish to it getting rehabbed. Hence the big concrete pouring truck that blocked the entire street. If you wanted to make your late-night run from Season’s Tavern over to Starr’s Bar, as that would be the logical route, as if you’d be sober enough to micro-manage such details, you’d be screwed, to make another construction reference.
It is again, the time of year for all things pumpkin, but that’s old hat, like the deer hunting hats being seen, yes 24/7, all over while they are still in a current mode. More timely is the fact that Kwik Trip just opened their North Hudson store, the most important thing of consequence to the north of the existing local shops, after several days of somewhat glaring, yes orange, bold lighting to announce their likely to be primo local presence that is spilling over all the turn-lane instructure that was installed in large part to benefit their sure-to-change-the-local-scene-presence as far as a player in the market. So back to pumpkins. If you hurry north, as there are still many remnants of their killer grand opening remaining, you can still get on special a fantastic cup of pumpkin spiced brew, also with cinammon, brown sugar and vanilla. And many kinds of brew for free, again for a limited time, although even after its less than a buck. These things are highlighted by the fact that there are many, many bottles of sweetner to add to the experience, even though what we’re assuming was an added pumpkin mix seemed to be sold out at times. Must be good. And also a free coupon, among many, for milk, (I think the cow is still available, but she may only be on-call to provide certified freshness — just kidding!) Don’t forget to factor in the Kwik Trip special of bananas, potatoes and onions for only 39 cents per pound, it was 28, and being offered as an added incentive is a free first pound of some of those things, although of the three, the banana part was the latest to be a freebie. You could you dip that banana in the pumpkin coffee for one more, quasi-tropical flavor in our northwoods. Just don’t try the same with onion. Potato? Eh, maybe.
What do you have when, eh maybe, you are putting on a church meal to cook and honor all nationalities in a universal way? Hot dish, of course, being the area’s Scandinavian ethnicity. But what about all the other worldwide ethnic groups.
— Slaving away on Thanksgiving Eve and well beyond, you’ve know doubt heard of turducken, with the three layers of three kinds of fowl. What you may not know is there are so many layers to fight/dig through that kitchen utensils sometimes break off and are lost inside the chicken, and this is no rubber chicken.
— This idea about a breakout gone wrong. Bring in a fruitcake to give to an inmate, that’s been regifted a few times, and the crust was so hard they could not get out the hack saw. Also bantied about is a (great? As in Linus’s pumpkin?) trick or treating gift that keeps on giving, as began being marketed early, although its not fully candy, and even is somewhat nutrional. It also might need one of those Scaaary little plastic containers, or possibly a shot glass. I’m referencing the Halloween plug, as it is portrayed at County Market, for on-special Kemp’s chocolate milk. Take it out now, much later but still OK like fruitcake, and make it into egg nog? And for when they bring it home, the adults can mix and match with the candy and make the equivalent of a hot toddy meets Blizzard, and join in on the fun with the youngsters.
Its time for a Venture Fireworks glowing display, with perfect sparkly snow conditions right now to reflect and hear, as its beginning to look a lot like Christmastime
December 24th, 2019The sights and sounds of the New Year can be maxed out with a fireworks display courtesy of Venture Fireworks, here in Hudson, in many different forms because of the wonder of sparkling snow — so forego the little black dress, get your coat and also gloves, and celebrate in a different type of way.
The crispy temperatures should be just right to make that snow glitter and glissen, reflecting itself in an additional kind of way, as they shine when fireworks are lit off, and the glow is maximized. And consider shooting something off over the frozen St. Croix River for added effect. They don’t offer that in the Cities. And there’s the festive aspect of the smell of newly shot off powder, to invoke an other sense. And Venture Fireworks is close by and conveniently located in the the industrial park just off of Interstate 94 by the truck stop.
But wait, there’s more, a third sense, and this one’s a biggie. There is the near sonic boom consideration when the bang bounces off the new fallen snow, to add to the experience, and it has various sounds and degrees, like the difference between treble and bass (insert the river effect again). Doesn’t this all make a case for doing this option as a last minute Christmas gift?
And the price is nice, too. Other vendors give you a two-for-one rate, which may be more than what you really need. Venture Fireworks gives you a great rate for those several things you really want, and choose the package that has more if you need, without the boilerplate stuff. And there are deep discounts — of at least 10 percent — on considerations that can fit almost anyone’s situation. And Venture Fireworks is open long hours between the day after Christmas and New Year’s Eve, and also by appointment in many other times of year.
If you trek three minutes up the freeway after crossing the St. Croix River, you can exit to get stuff that goes boom in the night and be back there in the time it takes to play a few favorite songs on the radio — then have your own party either on the water or in other wide open spaces of western Wisconsin.
So if you plan such a fireworks display soon, a prime place to consider is the longtime, locally owned and operated Venture Fireworks in the town of Hudson. Whether your party is big or small, celebrating the loud bang or the subtle pop, their staff that’s studious about the many fireworks they sell is waiting to serve you.
Venture is unlike other Hudson fireworks stores in that they have a very full staff and are much easier to find, being just a jaunt off the freeway rather then congested miles off of it, and offering a greater volume of choices as well. It is also a cut above, in a different manner, then those further down Interstate 94, as that requires people to trek all the way deeper into Wisconsin for a big box store. As far as gas and convenience, Venture Fireworks gives you more bang for your buck — a mid-summer night’s dream, also as an option, because you don’t want to wait when there is that sparkly feast for your eyes and ears awaiting, in addition to the coming of the current mid-holiday celebration.
They are open seven days a week until 9 p.m., so if you want to get some fireworks — even close to the last minute — this place is for you. And if you want to get a jump on things, they open in the morning. And as they say “we offer all the good stuff.”Venture Fireworks is conveniently located just off of Interstate 94, a jog north on Exit 4, just three miles east of the border with Minnesota. That border, a veritable lake of water, can make flashy reflections in summer too, as July Fourth comes around. Jeff Osbeck of Venture Fireworks is a longtime Hudson resident, so he knows a thing or two about them. He says how they are different from the big box stores for fireworks is the friendly and knowledgeable staff, who will steer you in the right direction to have a fun, safe and hassle-free experience.
Osbeck heard such high praise from a couple who recently got married. The wedding gift of fireworks he gave them created memories beyond the usual household items that are typically received. It was such a hit that a phone call was received from a long distance away on the wedding night, to say that the extra visual effect had made their celebration truly extraordinary.
There are military and cash discounts available, each at 5 percent. Venture Fireworks can be found at 631 Commerce Drive, Hudson, WI 54016, just north of Interstate 94 off Exit 4 in the town of Hudson. Contact them at (715) 386-8757, or at www.venturefireworks.com, or on Facebook. Please mention this article if you patronize Venture Fireworks.
Let It Be, even if the long-promised (gag) post-mortem on Halloween is now presented with a nod to Scrooge and spirit(s)
December 7th, 2019Given the recent snowfall and the fact that we have dealt with a couple of holidays in a month, with another one coming later this month, and all of them are merging together, the occasion that a huge snowman has been built in back of Guv’s Place in North Hudson, is underscored by the proprietor Jess being petite and about half the size of that new creature back by the snow volleyball courts. (So its the perfect time to slot in the promised third installment of Halloween/Christmas coverage, the often tongue in cheek Ghost of Halloween Future). And if that reference is not timely enough, we offer the holiday merging play at the Phipps, Blythe Spirit.
–The layout of a big Halloween display on the way back from Starr’s Bar is much like the nativity of olden days, front to back and side to side, with a centerpiece. One wonders whether their although creepy intent was not to entertain but evangelize. Black Sabbath’s n.i.b., short for Nativity in Black, anyone? Or the cooly bespectacled Men in Black, m.i.b., the video of which is on sale now, but hey, you think HudsonWiNightlife is anywhere near that coool? Got to go to the Big Box Store! b.b.s.)
— The homeowners on the Hudson to North Hudson crawl (pub style yes, but also other varieties) always put forth some form of brightly bulbed decoration, to be there for the late-night people and their continued entertainment, after the music and right after Halloween, not prior to it. And the creative color scheme includes, in a way to allow two holidays to merge, hundreds of just-placed orange lights framing the roof edges of taverns, other businesses here and farther afield, and more residences, rural and city. There were a half-dozen roof edges at a single spot, in some cases, and one might surmise that they are there to help Rudolph with his guiding factor, be the lights orange or a single red, and timely in the way that this indeed is part of the rush to Christmas, just like shopping, although the reindeer component is still a few weeks away. Much like the fact that merchants were already pushing Xmas-gift type items before Halloween even arrived.
— During trick-or-treating time, the historic Third Street district was seriously, closed off to through-traffic by cops and if you wanted to get some of those king size candy bars the people there offer (screw the fun size) you would half to do most of it on foot while escorted by police. You would also have to have the recommendation of two former employers, a green card in some cases, a letter from your attorney saying you would hold everyone harmless to possible liability from accidentally tained candy, and lastly, take a drug test showing you were not under the influence of extreme chocolate and its sugar.
— I saw some bright horizontally striped, quasi-pylons, sitting in the median of a construction zone, and the way they were individually stacked reminded me of a bunch of Dr. Suess hats, planted in the ground, although the look was like the good doctor had been, gulp, beheaded. Cindy Lou Who was aghast, and organized an on-site ritual remembering her former nemesis to go through the end of the year.
— It has been two decades since there was a Wiccan national conference held in a great big farm field near Hudson. Double that for meeting again here and you have 40 years, with the requisite Biblical number at sway, and I’m not quite sure how that interfaces with the theology in a Christian holy book.
In fact, I was able to write a story I was also able to resell, by interviewing attendees after the fact, at Denny’s of all places. I was not allowed on site for the conference, since I veer toward Catholicism and there has been such a tradition of persecution by that group, that actual Wiccans that were there wouldn’t feel comfortable going through all their rituals with a Christian present. So what form a persecution took place, at uhm at that place? Greasy Denny’s bacon and eggs.
— It was the colors meeting, on Black Friday and with the beverage Lululemon (to be bought for drinks to get unstressed from shopping), rather than lemon drops, falling from sky.
— There are a lot of Stillwater ghosts, and they really come around for their 15 minutes of fame once a year. In fact, some of them get to strut their stuff in a pair of ghost tours — one of which keeps you in town and one of which exits the big downtown parking area stage north. Could they go to town, so to speak, and save lots of money by combining their marketing efforts? Let’s get Scrooge on the case.
— Screw Halloween. On Nov. 1, if you’re Lutheran, you have Reformation Day, which was celebrated with a big musical to-do locally. And there’s a fringe group, The Spiritual Awaking Church, that wants after hundreds of years to have another reform, of all kinds of spirits, and carry the holiday on until the next pagan ritual pops up that can be co-opted.
— When the campaign got going, there were a pair of mug shots below the fold of the Star-Tribune. One was of Donald Trump and the other of another obscure head of state. And not only did these look-alikes have the same facial features, they had the exact same bad hair! My guess is that the Halloween karma dictates that they share the same cell in hell, condemned to crack out executive orders for eternity.
— Tried to recharge an old phone, in a desperate attempt to take some Halloween photos, only to find out that it had expired. How old is that kind of phone, in phone years, I asked. “One of the first made.” Kinda like vampire years. Except in the long run, those creatures keep going, and going, and going … Better battery for that old phone?
— The news a while back was that hoidy toidy Edina led Minnesota and the surrounding area in OWI arrests. Must have a lot of stress when deciding how big a boat to buy, and now that we’re past Halloween and you can’t go as The Skipper and Gilligan, its time to get out your charge card. Step up to the St. Croix River instead? And as far as western Wisconsin law enforcement, they feel that the Edina cops are reigning in on their turf. So they plan for, on New Years, a cop on every corner. And if you got stung: “Dying in a den in St. Croix. Why’m I here? Can’t say.”
— Metro news was made when a longtime rock musician established a charity to help downtrodden people, especially those in the music industry, and there are a lot of them, judging from the tenuous financial status of some local players I know. Dredging through my memory after a night out with some of these people, I thought it was Tim Mahoney, who I’m guessing was in the mode of providing bologna sandwiches, (I apologize profusely for that bad play on words, which just might be a bunch of baloney, with the good intent of the sponsor). But seriously folks, everyone despite your status, accept the well wishes of HudsonWiNightlife for a wonderful Thanksgiving! Posthaste.
Here’s a primer for recovery, such as that proverbial pumpkin and of course the lampshade, if your behavior got ugly, even maybe in the absence of a bad sweater
December 7th, 2019Oh my God, is it almost Christmas, in a pumpkin kind of way, to fix all ills? Is pumpkin one of hose herbs?
— Being the spiritual season, I have to ask if this event, advertised on TV at some sports bars, can be a further take on the autumn-all-things-pumpkin theme explored it the item below, namely the book Hi God 2, as if our omnipotent God needed a sequel! As one of my favorite bartenders answered the question from behind the counter, what is your go-to-holiday-pumpkin-spiced drink. His response: “What there’s more than one?”
It may not be that simple. Being touted even after Black Friday are pumpkin scented candles (your lady will love it if you can’t afford concert tickets to Smashing Pumpkins) and air fresheners, (if your partying got a little out-of-hand, if you know what I mean), several of the Halloween movies for an all-night after-bar marathon (but be wary, they won’t go over as well as a chick flick), spiced gourmet coffee (if you need to nurse that hangover, even if you can’t fully taste it because of hair of the dog), don’t forget treats for that pet (who has stuck with you through thick and thin), Xmas cards (for makeup sex if you offended anyone the night before), wrapping paper for emergency gifts, that’s read 6 a.m. (to help if you really got out of control), ornaments (if the mistletoe got lost) and of course pumpkin pie and snacks (to ease your cravings while you sit in that on-sale fishing shack). And more tangibly, European Christmas Market at the Union Depot, during every weekend before Christmas. Pumpkin theme? Yes, they have more than gingerbread.
— There are still various deer hunting seasons running, through either the end of December or New Years, and there are many cool waterings holes to be found in all directions within a few miles of a hub for this activity, in and around Willow State Park, to continue the tales of the hunt after registering your deer. There is south (closest if you are buzzed, Paddy’s Ryan’s and Uncle Mike’s Em Pour E Yum), north (Willow River Saloon), east (Meister’s Bar, Boardman Bypass and Sidetrack Saloon in Roberts), and west (Next Stop Bar and the Cajun Club in Houlton).
— A flyer seen downtown promotes a event, designed to raise awareness of the aweful disorder, called Dementia Live, being held at various locations around the region at several different times. Please pardon me for this type of lighthearted mention concerning the disabled, but this is a concert you just gotta see.
Pumpkin, pumpkin, who has the pumpkin, and more than just pie: Let the bright lights extend you out of the Big City to the new Kwik Trip in NH
December 1st, 2019It is the time of year for all things pumpkin, but that’s old hat, like the deer hunting hats being seen, yes 24/7, all over while they are still in a current mode. More timely is the fact that Kwik Trip just opened their North Hudson store, the most important thing of consequence to the north of the existing local shops, after several days of somewhat glaring, yes orange, bold lighting to announce their likely to be primo local presence that is spilling over all the turn-lane infrastructure. It was installed in large part to benefit their sure-to-change-the-local-scene-presence as far as a player in the market. So back to pumpkins. If you hurry north, as its still for a bit the grand opening, and you can still get on special a fantastic cup of pumpkin spiced brew, also with cinammon, brown sugar and vanilla. And many kinds of brew for free, and even a brave brown pumpkin mix that’s big in the cooler, again for a limited time, although even after its less than a buck. These things are highlighted by the fact that there are many, many bottles of sweetner to add to the experience, even though what we’re assuming was an added pumpkin mix seemed to be sold out at times. Must be good. And also a coupon for free milk! Don’t forget to factor in the Kwik Trip special of bananas, potatoes and onions for only 28 cents per pound, and being offered as an added incentive is a free first pound of those things, although of the three, the banana part is still coming. Once here, could you dip that banana in the pumpkin coffee for one more, quasi-tropical flavor in our northwoods.
Drop Tailgate brings its extensive song (think 150-plus) list to the Wild Badger on Saturday, so don’t drop out of the holiday fun just yet
November 30th, 2019Drop in and extend your holiday experience by taking in the country band Drop Tailgate at the Wild Badger in downtown New Richmond on Saturday Night.
Drop Tailgate is a mostly local group, and they have been around for several years, for a great blend of nostalgia and talent on this holiday.
Drop Tailgate performs songs strikingly close to the original artists, they say, but give it a little boost to keep the party rockin’. Along with performing with a stage show that includes rock and pop (and add some top 40 and modern) at countless fairs and town festivals and street dances across a three state area, Drop Tailgate has shared the stage with dozens of national acts at many major music festivals that include Moondance Jammin Country Fest, Winstock and Country Fest, to name a few.
The fun starts at 9 p.m.
