We have a WINNER!!!
Huge congratulations to Layton and his dad Brian — they cracked open a Golden Ticket candy bar right here at McFleshman`s and found the grand prize: a pair of Music-Maker Festival Badges for @mileofmusicfest ($250 value).
Massive thanks to @crazysweetwi for crafting the chocolate bars — and a reminder that a portion of every bar sold supports the Mile of Music Education Fund. Grab one at the bar while they last. You could be next.
See you on the Mile, Layton.

You don`t have to play to come hang.

A visual artist spotlight in the room too. Roll in, pull up a chair, see what the night brings.

Throwback to when our stage was still finding its legs.
A then-and-now for you. The first photo is our beer garden stage in its earliest days — empty mics, fresh boards, lots of potential. The second is The Belle Weather lighting it up last weekend — full band, packed beer garden, cold beers, magic happening.
What started as a stage we built for a few special nights has turned into a stage that`s busy every Friday all summer long. Watching it grow up has been one of our favorite things about this place.
And speaking of summers — Mile of Music is 28 days out. We`re already thinking about it, talking about it, making lists. The beer garden is ready.

Misters on. Shade for days. Cold beer in your hand.
Wisconsin is bringing the heat this week — and the beer garden is built for it. Pull up a chair, point your face at the mist, and let us take care of the rest. We know the heat is getting old, but our beer is still nice and cold!

Sign-up is on the stage.

Public service announcement: WE HAVE MISTERS.
If you`re not familiar — they`re a glorious overhead spray that drops the patio temperature about ten degrees and makes a 90° afternoon feel like a beach trip. Bring yourself, bring a friend, we`ll take care of the rest.
