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.

— He has the looks of a folkie, but in his online bio is holding an electric guitar. Catch the combination at Urban Olive and Vine at high noon Sunday.

  • Urban Table has solo and duet acts already in the books, and the tunes put in its vault, as they’ll soon be brought back for more music events. and positioned practically tableside tonight in their designated intimate enclave, has been enlisted an acoustic ensemble, turning it into an ample stage, and then another band next Saturday, just for starters. Bluesy, yes, and even jazzier. And always eclectic.
This about all that soft jazz, and a whole lotta related offerings, taking a renewed seat at the table, like a not-seen-for-a-while relative at Thanksgiving dinner, as they have plenty of quick eats or full meal to go with the music too, at a venue that adds another element to the local song scene. It’s an intimate setting, where you can be not much more than an arm’s length or two from one of the players as the regele you with their sung stories — and still stay out of reach and vocal range of that odd uncle, but close...

  • Clarity. Craft. Better together. Like a guitar harmony. Or Clarity & Craft Co., for penning business proposals that turn old notes and rough drafts into persuasive plans for your client’s action. Like a concerto. Choir to double down, on composing ditties.
Business writing, and even life, is like penning a song. It moves through the various seasons, like The Rain Song. (Snow coming soon.) But the very season at which we choose to begin is telling. And it may vary. For each client’s, or band’s needs. Or the second side of an album. They say keep your friends close, your enemies closer, and your bandmates closest, because they are the ones you hole up with for long periods and churn out the creative process. One of those for me, is the pen during the day, and voice at times at night when...

  • Nicolas Cage has been around locally for weeks filming one of his latest projects. Could ‘Parish’ be considered a cage match between he and St. Michael the Archangel, a local parish, with sword slitting sinner’s neck, considering his bent for projects of a spiritual and apocalyptic nature?? But farmhouse famously. Read on, or see it in a theater soon …
When I first heard that star actor Nicolas Cage was in town for an extended stay to film one of his new movies, it didn’t take too much of a deep dive to discover that the film and its protagonist takes the name of Parish, which made me think it had something to do with things post-apocalyptic and churches, like some of his past flicks. (Spoiler alert: It actually is not a parish in the sense of the name of a church, but has that end of the world and eternity vibe, as it’s about a man who decides to hole up in his adapted...

  • MAGA goes South, and everyone from South Park to various ends of St. Croix County ‘can plainly see’ it. Yes, Republicanism may have won the day in the county, but in the final tally in the state, and country, it was curtains for them keeping a majority, being tied too closely to Trump. aberations in that county voting were Knoke vs. Zimmerman, and the early tallies in Town of Hudson absentee voting.
Mr. Hat, meet Mr. Reality, meet Mr. Mandate. Via Mr. Crowley. If you don’t get that post-election humor, then there’s no hope … When it concerns the latter, check out the Ozzy song and it’s message, “won’t you ride my white horse” and “did you think you were pure,” see if you then get the gag, as a U.S. dictator’s realm falls in a landslide rarely seen. “Your lifestyle to me seems so tragic.” As the last midterm election tallies are being, well, tallied, South Park (and later SNL too) roared on with its satire on Wednesday night, getting going at it...

  • Sick of getting flyers in the mail, as many as five a day, and leaving no room in the box for the postman? Even if they happen to target a political interest of yours? I went through more than 100, so offer this synopsis, which got very detailed, as your primer for when you go to the polls today. (See results here in coming days.)
The divide in politics these days is not still as much left vs. right, with granted little center, it’s become the informed vs. the uniformed or downright ignorant, and by the flyers politicians put out, you can see they are catering to this predilection. So I propose a solution, though radical, as long as these days we’re throwing that word around all over the place even when it’s not merited, and it’s mentioned literally hundreds of times in Republican flyers across the state: If you are not going to educate yourself, don’t vote. If you think about it, this is very Darwin-ish. Another...

  • Few inflatables? Just Chip away at the beyond-rigatoni-like-structured (Penne please?) them plastic bones? Halloween has come crashing to a sugary candied conclusion. But not before the alley cats were spooked, if they were not caught with their costumed tails between their legs, (no prizes), or by a pirate that’s DEPP-osed, (maybe.) Or, did Zappa do it? Double, double P. —– But hence, tomorrow is Election Day, and I will provide detailed coverage and how-to-fight-through-the-chaff analysis that will include the local polling numbers. You will see that much sooner here than in the local paper, as they do not staff elections firsthand.
Hark Halloween has been buried, as the big inflatables are now being sacked and stored — they were slowly being replaced anyway by some bigger creatures of all, very tall types and rounds lengths of plastic, currently used as the centerpieces, not the ones that often end up laying flat on the ground, strung out. As far as the bigger than gourds, such pumpkins were seen around town at the bars and antique shops, such as three of carefully chosen shades set in a triangle, of all different colors were the shapes painted on — they being squares and circles of...
