A Weekend Without Da Bears

What do you do on a fall weekend when the Bears aren't playing?  Easy.


FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 14TH

Went shopping and had one of those great Carolina Slaw Dogs at Steak and Shake.  Cut the grass which was badly in need of it.

I had intended to go to the Fox Lake Mayor's 5K Run spaghetti dinner, but that was last week.

Went to the Grant High School (Fox Lake, Illinois) football game versus Stevenson which unfortunately was a blow out for the visitors.  Then went to Route 12 Bar and saw Terry and Gregg Spizzirri do their show.  The place was really rowdy.


SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 15TH

Real busy day, starting with an old-time radio show recreation at the Fox Lake Historical Society, boating, then the rededication of the Spring Grove Fish Hatchery with food and a band.

Home and picked up Liz and drove to Wauconda where we saw Terry Spizzirri playing again on the deck of Dock's Tiki Bar.  Then to Miller's Dog N' Suds in Ingleside for the classic car show and the Dixie Dudes Dixieland Jazz Band.  Then to Captain's Quarters for the group "1969" playing music from 1967 to 1972.


SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 16TH

Caught some rays on the deck and read the Tribune in the gazebo.

Drove over to Grayslake for their BBQ Rib Throwdown festival and a drink at the Last Chance Saloon downtown.  There was a band at the Throwdown as well.  Then to Jesse Oaks for the Chicago Greaser Car Club's clasic car show and Terry Spizzirri playing outside again.

Stopped at Squaw Creek Bar on the way back to talk with friends and then had some of those fantastic beer nuggets at Tommy's.
