A Brief Shopper Report

This will be a very short report from this week's Shopper:

The front page this week is a full-page ad for a local watering hole/restaurant. They will be offering delivery service 7 days a week. That makes it kind of nice for some of us who want to stay home after a full day of work in our garden/yard and want to shower and clean up and then eat in our "jammies."

There are several ads for employment opportunities for young people. It almost is starting to appear that our young ones might not be very interested in looking for jobs this summer because the ads have been in for several weeks--the life guards at the beach, cooks and counselors at the 4-H camp, etc.

A cute ad for a class reunion mentions that "If you are the parent, sibling or feiend of a 1986 graduate, theis is your chance to get even for all those gray hairs caused by your adult child during his or her teenage years." The ad suggests that we send in the best and most embarrassing photos to the committee. Are we that nasty? Yes, we can be!

The Relay For Life fundraisers are still in full swing. The night of the event is coming up soon.
The local bank team had many items to "raffle" and cookbooks for sale. One of the teams is hosting a concert. Another team is hosting a midnight bowling, poker tourney, and food raffles coming up at a local bowling alley. Guess we'd better play our favorite Polka Pal Don song--"Grab Your Balls, We're Going Bowling" and take off. By the way, he played a couple of songs for the WT's on Saturday on WELY.

The big softball Memorial Weekend is coming up. The Swiss Steak Dinner on Friday night should be well-attended--a good break from spaghetti feeds! It's only $6.00. Doesn't get any better than that!

Vacation Bible Schools and day camps are being advertised. The kids sometimes get bored right away??? Have to keep them busy early on. There are more that are scheduled for August. Parents could be really ecumenical and send their kids to several of them!

Some of the beaches are opening on Saturday, June 10th. It has been warm lately, so the water must be warming up. However in this area, the definition of "warm" might not be the same as that in the banana belt south of us!

The Fishing Contest: A 6 pound, 10 oz. walleye and a 3 pound northern won this week.

Cruise Night at the local A&W is June 20th. It is amazing the number of folks that show up in their classic cars for the event (one in June and one in August). This is about the16th year of the Classic Car Cruise night at our A&W, which is the old drive-in style place with carhops and no electronic ordering. The WT's always have a good contingent that attends this event!

Playing at the movie theatre: "Over the Hedge" and "The DaVinci Code." "Poseidon" starts on Friday.

Until next week . . . Stay out of a little bit of trouble but get into enough trouble to say that you have had a good time!
