... As I said before riverfest has never made money, they have managed to break even for the past 8 or so years, primarily because of the things that "the...
That's right, la movida brings in huge bands all the time and charges $30 a ticket and it is packed! Then they up prices in liquor! Now with riverfest's prices...
I have never gone to Riverfest as I do not like the location. Wish there was a park big enough to handle it. My family went to Ribfest in Naperville,IL a...
Does anyone know of any good rustic camping sites that aren't too far from Beloit? I don't want a crowded campground with a swimming pool and store, but nice...

I've heard this argument before and never quite saw the connection between being old enough to drink and old enough to enlist in the armed forces. But how...
Well I'm probably a bit of hypocrate here. I was able to drink in Wisconsin at the age of 18. But statistics don't lie. Teenagers and bad judgement go well...
I have looked into the issue of kayaking to Rockton. The best place to takeout would be the boat launch near where Hwy 2 crosses the river. (see here...
