Good Times Last Weekend: Movie, Expo, Band and Chili Cookoff

And, it was still winter, but anyway, can spring be far behind.

FRIDAY

Went to Round Lake Beach and saw the last of the nine nominated Best Picture movies, "Phantom Thread."  Sure appreciate Regal Cinemas running all them over the past three weeks.  Went to the Legion in Fox Lake for 50-50 and all that great music on the jukebox.

SATURDAY

Went to the Fox Lake Business Expo at Grant High School.  I always enjoy it and especially the food which came from the Ingleside Dog 'N Suds so had my first Coney Dog of the year (they close during the winter).  We are fortunate ro have three of the remaining Dog 'N Suds remaining close by.

 Then, the Whistlestop Cafe had some of the best pies I ever tasted.

From 3 to 6 p.m. we enjoyed one of our favorite area bands, the 3 ACES, playing all those great oldies, both pop and country.  Then we went to Tommy's in Spring Grove which has recently reopened.  Tried their new beer nuggets and they are very good.

SUNDAY

We went to Donovan's Reef in Twin Lakes, Wisconsin, for the chili cook-off, which our friend Kenny won.  Then to Sunnyside in Johnsburg, Illinois.  Home and watched the Academy Awards.
