Three things to do in & Around River City this weekend.
After spending last weekend at Rock Fest, I’m actually looking forward to getting back to reality this weekend!
Don’t get me wrong, I thoroughly enjoy my time in Cadott every year, but my liver needs a break. And I’m still trying to get caught up on sleep!
This weekend, I’ll be busy with Rock Stops & a few other work-related events. If your calendar is open and you’re looking for something to do, here’s a few events:
FRIDAY & SATURDAY – CHEECH’S DEECEFEST @ BLUEBIRD CAMPGROUND
