FRIDAY, JUNE 20TH: We had the annual Spring Grover Fish Hatchery Fish Boil fundraiser from 5-8 PM, despite threats of rain storms, which were nice enough not to hit until the early morning hours on Saturday. We had a local folk singer playing for us and they had solved the hour-long wait we had to endure last year, even though we did have to wait 15 minutes for them to start.
Great food put on by Fitzgerald's in nearby Genoa City, Wisconsin. Boiled fish, chicken and ribs for $18. We enjoyed talking with Dana and Mary who taught for many years with us in Round Lake.
Afterwards, we adjourned to the Legion.
SATURDAY, JUNE 21ST: Yardwork and that big old storm mentioned in the last post. We later went to a fundraiser for a single mom from Round Lake who has stage four breast cancer and heard there different bands and spent quite a bit of money.
We had hoped to go to the Fox Lake Concert By the Lake at the park on Nippersink Lake featuring the Beach Bumz Band, but it was rained out.
SUNDAY, JUNE 22ND: After taping Bob Stroud's annual Roots Salute to Summer, we went to McHenry for the Day At Peterson Farm event. We toured the farmhouse and barn and saw all sorts of people doing 1800s chores. They also featured the 1950s.
Afterwards, it was pizza and beer at All Sports in McCuyllom Lake, the band Sugar High at Captain's Quarters on Fox Lake and then a fundraiser at Donovan's Reef in Twin Lakes, Wisconsin. We saw a band playing lots of great old classic rock, including CCR's "Lodi" and a Hollies song.
