I was lucky enough to attend the BMHS Graduation Sat, June 13. Although the rain put us in the Gym it was a great celebration to see 430 graduate. I hope the...
Here is another reason to live in Beloit - Honest Auto Mechanics. You may think this odd, but while living in California I could not find one I trusted in the...
Let me add Leo's Brake Shop to the list of good, honest auto mechanics. My experiences with their shop over the years has been extremely positive. Sadly, I...
As a volunteer at the fest for the past 7 years, I'd like to put in my 2 cents worth reviewing the Fest. The music was alright, although I deliberately went...
I agree! They get bands to attract beer drinkers! If you ask me they should get a Mexican group to come it, I would go and there are plenty of Hispanics in the...
... As a resident in this area, the riverfest started out (the plan) was to be multi-culture, not all white, not black, not mexican, indian or chinese,...
What I don't think either of you realize is, Riverfest is a Business! They never make a profit, however the city does not back them financially any more(they...
... If the riverfest is a business, then don't you think businesses are out there to make money? now i could be wrong, but God don't like ugly, and the...
When there was a variety of music, I noticed the crowds were huge.   There were whole days devoted to Hispanic / Mexican music. Country music stars...
In an earlier post, I mentioned I live at Watertower Place Apartments. As I walking down to start my volunteer shift at Riverfest, I walked past the old...
... 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...
It depends on what you call too far. The most rustic I've been to is Newport State Park in Door county. We backpacked in to the campsites which amounted to a...
You might try Hononegah Forest Preserve between Rockton and Roscoe. The entrance is near the intersection of Dorr Road and Hononegha Road, just minutes away....
There is camping at the Sugar River state park north of Shirland Il. It has two areas for camping, one among the trees and one along the river. Denny Broderck ...
I noticed the new downtown kayak launch appears to be finished. Has anyone taken that route into Illinois and, if so, where do you take out? I did it once a...
I don't know if these types of posts are authorized here. I guess it'll be up to the moderator(s). This coming Sunday (Aug 9) will be the VFW Corn Boil out...
Good question! I think you could go all the way to Rockton and take out more easily there. Not sure how long that would take? I think the best way to run it,...
Well, yes, that's one option. Does anyone know if that railroad bridge just before the confluence of the creek and the river is still backed up? I was there a...
Time for another Saturday in the Park with Friends (of Riverfront) <http://www.friendsofriverfront.com/> . And that means it's movie night at Beloit's...
Who thinks that the age to drink should change to 18? Why not when we have 18 year old people going to war risking their lives and etc! I think we should...
Yes, I can see your point about the 18 driniking age, I am a Vietnam Veterans doing two tour of duty ( 1968-1969 1970-1971) I could put my life on the line for...
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...
