Greetings and welcome!
It has been a nice week without the 90 degree and humid temperatures of the recent past. The days have been pretty comfortable and the nights great for sleeping. I don’t recall which night it was, maybe Sunday-Monday, but the TV said that points north of here actually had low temps in the low 40s.
We had a few rain showers yesterday and more today. That will bring in more comfortable air for the weekend. Friday’s high is expected to be in the low 70s, and by Monday the high temp goes up to the upper 70s. There is no rain expected after today until about next Tuesday. I always think of sweltering heat and dog days in August, but our normal high/low temperatures are 78/53 for today.
There are a few events for this weekend. The headliner is the Silver Cliff VFD Auxiliary picnic and parade. The parade starts at 10 by Boat Landing 11 Rd & C and takes C east to the park by C & I ( Parkway north), and the picnic starts at 11.
Not on Chris’ list is the No Schtick Band playing Saturday night at Curve Inn. They are a very good regional band that has played there before, and I found them impressive.
Here is the list for the next two weekends.

Tragedy has struck the whitewater community twice in the last week or so. A man lost his life rafting the Wolf River through the dells on the Menominee Indian Reservation last week. Apparently that spawned a petition for required use of helmets and life jackets, as well as regular trips with a guide on the river with people.
Tuesday a man lost his life rafting the Menominee River after falling out of a raft and getting pinned by the current. Even with swift water trained guides and rescuers attempting rescue he did not make it. Neither tragedy was at Kosir’s, but we are all family on the river, and everyone feels the grief. Our thoughts and prayers go out to the families.
That is news for now. Have a good weekend and thank you for visiting!
