*** A special thanks to our models. They helped us out before they drank their tasty beverages. We often forget about taking a picture until after the glass is empty. And, these beverages are a work of art.

******** ONLY 4 DAYS LEFT TO ORDER SHIRTS *******

Sunday, June 2, is the deadline to order shirts for the Father's Day Cruise for a Cause.

Here's a link to place your shirt order: https://cruiseforcause-threads.itemorder.com/shop/home/

This year's cruise will be in honor of Madeline Kingsbury with all funds raised going to her two children Elliana and Noah. The funds raised will come from shirts sold and donations made the day of the cruise.

To register for the cruise, please go to www.visitbluffcountry.com/carshowcruise

The route will start at 11 a.m., departing from the Rushford Fire Department to the Pickwick Mill Museum for a tour of the historic mill. The Pickwick Fire Department will have cheeseburgers and chips available for sale. From there, the cruise will head up the hill over to Apple Blossom Scenic Drive for a beautiful windy stretch that leads to the City of La Crescent where we will park at the TimeOut Tavern parking lot and enjoy some more food and conversation.

Cars, motorcycles, and trucks are all welcome.

Your participation and support will be greatly appreciated by the Kingsbury family.

Indulge Your Senses This Summer

By Charlene Corson Selbee

Picture a tranquil Midwest summer evening lounging in a lawn chair or relaxing on a blanket. As local bands blast out familiar tunes, you will find yourself swaying or dancing to their melodies.
