Ride itinerary takes you all around western Wisconsin, with Hammond in the midst of it all, and there also are peppers and other amenities for a cause at the Village Inn

Just an hour after kickstands-up, its a hearty lunch at Cheap Andy’s, smack dab in the middle of rides also stopping at venues in Colfax, Beldenville and Rock Elm:
— Sometimes during an all-day motorcycle rally across the highways and byways of scenic western Wisconsin, the middle-day portion of the ride can be among the most important.
Like the stop for a hearty lunch at Cheap Andy’s in Hammond during the one this Saturday, July 27.
This event is called the May Memorial Run in honor of “Tyler and Justin,” hosted by Kevin May and Jody Lamson, on Saturday from 9 a.m. to 11 p.m. Kickstands are up and motors running at 11 a.m. sharp and there will be a bike and car show, people’s choice trophy for the best ride and a Rev To Heaven trophy.
The event begins and ends with partying on the patio at Elk Point Resort — consisting of music and outdoor bar, and at the end a stint of camping offered. Then its off to the Cheap Andy’s stop around noon, and over in a scenic way to Clyde’s Corner Bar and Grill in Beldenville and Waverly Full Throttle Saloon in Rock Elm.
For camping reservations, contact Sarah or Nikki at (715) 962-3055 at the Elk Point Resort at N8535 618th Street in Colfax. There is no registration fee for this Memorial Ride as They’re Never Forgotten, a version of which has been held around the country many times, and all vehicles are welcome. The event is held rain or shine.
— The North Hudson Pepper Festival could not be put on and be a success without the support of the community, a prime example being Satuday’s PepperFest for the park celebration at the Village Inn.
There will be all the summer foods you revel in, some of them along the same line as at the fest itself — such as hamburgers and brats, and Italian delicacies, with all the trimmings. There’s also live music, silent auction, raffles and prize give-aways. The event has typically been held in the winter, but this time around its only about three weeks before the shindig itself, which will prompt it to stick at the forefront of people’s minds and enjoy the summer activities this time of year has to offer.
Funds raised go toward the maintenance of the park and sprucing it up, as well as other facets for which the organizers need to cover costs, officials said. The event at The Village runs from 4-9 p.m. The band is Lady Luck, the perfect combo of woman-and-men lineup, heavy of songs like that of Pat Benatar. They will be playing under the four-fold or five-fold bigtop-style tent.

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...

  • Costs are rising up and patience is going down. Voter apathy meanwhile, still is continuing to flatline, as it flails around mental self flagulation, while all around us are signs that all things economic are just getting worse and worse. Here are some of these signs, from the strapped, baking and broiling breadbasket of the country.
A snapshot from the hampered heartland. Where the music won’t play for days anymore. This just in, an old shack located at 1 Terra Parma in Indiana will cost you $2K a month to rent. Hey, you could get a mortgage, with such dirty deeds done dirt cheap. The good news is that it includes utilities; but there’s no AC. That old tack is an old joke, but the rest of this isn’t. To get there, you are bus riders on the storm, and it’s a bad one, as when the greyhound grey line is nearly full on a Tuesday...

  • The Minnesota Nine was up 16-0, and this is not football with a couple of two-point conversions after TD, before the other squad came up with the equivilant of a safety. Not a single goal or field goal. Other zeroes also, recently, were put up. It’s all listed under the latest sports bar viewing news.
In a recent Minnesota Twins game, there were, what, eight of them runs that were doubled as they are Twins, as the home team led 16-0 after five innings, as viewed at Hudson Tap. This is not U.S. football with a couple of two-point conversions, and certainly not futbal, though they televise a lot of soccer. If there ever was a reason to invoke the old high school baseball and softball mercy rule, it was time, and I had been on both sides of that many a time back in my playing days.

  • The (World) Cup runneth over on the global stage, but not for the U.S. Soccer team, only others that advanced, and were heavily watched, even locally very far from a continent that mattered. now it does that for you, so spill the wine and light the firecrackers. And ask your knowledgable bartender or other bro about that ankle twist.
I wonder if they celebrated in Belgium like they did in the U.S., in advance, partying in the streets with maybe rioting coming later, prior to the win of the former over the latter in the mere — but still highly publicized, even here — quarterfinals of the FIFA World Cup that would continue on for another two weeks or so, then bow out soon after killing the U.S. hopes. The Elite Eight, if I can borrow a term from NCAA basketball, can be a bitch. First term, not second one. Wait, isn’t that a political reference? Anyway, they are...

  • Before history got very far, there was the full tilt boogie, with scores of meanings. This is also the name of an amped up upcoming two-day event at The Gaslite. Also in this post, the effort to buildup various venues is described, and the times of St. Croix County Fair music listed.
With the Full Tilt Boogie, the Friday and Saturday choppers/vans/bands/camping event at The Gaslite near Ellsworth, they offer us a lesson in not only music with the likes of Janis Joplin references and also the road running machines and what they’ll bring to the frantic jamming, but the sciences and history? (But first, there is a Friday movie and DJ at The Gaslite, and on Saturday a premier Van Halen cover band, Extermination Day Band, (know your history), the Rumours Band and Smokey Mirror.) But (sub)-standard or lesser known historical subtexts of the event title for the 17th and 18th,...
