I start each summer with
a trip to my hometown
to watch the Indy 500,
but in Wisconsin I’m a
sucker for the Big Slide,
cream puffs, perogies,
and corn at our awe-
some state fair. Great
family fun, especially
with goofy grandkids.
Hanging out with friends
while eating burgers,
drinking an adult bev-
erage, and identifying
planes/birds/starfight-
ers/superheroes flying
over.
It’s baseball season! I
love the sound of a ball-
game on the radio while
I’m tending the BBQ grill.
And it’s festival season:
Performing at outdoor
gigs is a gas.
Laying out a blanket in
front of my car at the
drive-in movie theater,
getting distracted by the
stars, falling asleep dur-
ing the double feature
and waking up covered
in dew.
I attend Summerfest (big
lakefront music festival)
and the Wisconsin State
Fair every year, in addi-
tion to hitting up as
many smaller live music
concerts and open mar-
ket events as possible.
That’s what makes my
summer!
