This coming Sunday is Iowa County Farmers Appreciation Day. Following the huge parade at 11 a.m., everyone will head to Harris Park (Ley Pavilion) for all that's going on, especially the great food that will be there waiting. Don't forget Upland Hills Health Auxiliary will have a pie sale - always great pies!

On Friday night, the Dodgeville Firemen will hold their annual fundraiser in the form of a dance. Fireworks will be set off at Harris Park at dusk during the dance.

Rewey's huge fireworks and celebration takes place on Saturday. People come from all over just to view that spectacular show!

I got a call from John Mueller, who owns Ridge Point Rendevouz, just outside of Ridgeway - that is in the former Hi-Point Steak House location. He didn't really threaten me about stopping out to give his place a try, but it sure was close to a threat! John is a great guy and a great chef. If you're in the neighborhood, or just looking for a NEW place to try, I would reccommend a stop!

Tonight (Thursday) there will be Dancing Under The Stars at Comer Pool in Dodgeville. This is always a great event for the youngsters.

Next Thursday evening is the annual Ice Cream Social at the Iowa County Historical Society Building (across from Hardee's). This is their annual summer fundraiser.

Sunday, good ol' buddy Ron Dentinger sent me an email with a photo of Clay Matthews of the Green Bay Packers flexing his muscles following one of his many QB sacks. The caption read - "Only 52 Days Remaining Until Football Season Begins!" Matthews wears number 52 and the number 52 was left out of the caption!
