Greetings and welcome!
We are getting a little much needed rain this morning. According to the USGS gauge by Kosir’s we have only had 1/2″ of rain in August. Driving to town yesterday the corn fields really were showing the drought stress with either brown corn stalks or curled up leaves. I haven’t had to cut the grass in a couple of weeks.
The weekend weather looks nice once the rain clears out Saturday morning. Look for highs in the low 80s and lows in the low 60s. There is a chance of rain again Sunday afternoon into Monday. We could use it.
This weekend there are a couple of events.
First up is the Marinette Co fair in Wausaukee. That started last night and runs through the weekend. Here is a link.
Tomorrow the Chute Pond Snowmobile Club is sponsoring a car show called Mountain Motor Madness. More than just cars will be there. They will show pretty much anything with a motor.. bikes, tractors, whatever. They have raffles and stuff too. Here is link.
There is also a car/Truck/motorcycle ride to benefit Wabeno & Laona schools. They leave the Pour House in Lakewood, take a 100 mile ride and end up at Golden Eagle Pizza in Townsend for a pork roast dinner. Here is a link.
There is also an end of summer party this weekend at Kosir’s & Rapids Resort. There will be live music Saturday night.
Over Labor Day weekend the Wall That Heals will be in Crivitz. It is a 3/4 scale model of the VietNam memorial wall. Here is a link.
Someone asked about the date for the soup and chili fest in Silver Cliff. Chris reminded me that it is keyed off of the 4th Saturday in September. We have 5 Saturdays this year that would put it on the 22nd not the 29th. I will update if that changes.
We have had a little cooler weather this week. A couple of the nights were downright cold. I didn’t start the wood burner but it was close one night. Sunday morning was a cool one and I got this picture of fog coming off of the lake as the cooler air came across the warmer lake water. It was very cool to see.
Strictly from commercial..
I finished up a pretty new web site for the Twin Bridge Resort this week. Take a look. They have a very nice place and the food is excellent. Here is a link.
I can tell that it is going to be a busy weekend. The Verizon/Cellcom cell phone based internet is already slowing down and it isn’t even noon on Friday.
That is it for today. Time for me to go and run between the rain drops and try to make a living. Have a great weekend and thank you for visiting!
