Three things to do in & around La Crosse this weekend
After some rain the last couple of days, Saturday & Sunday look to be absolutely fantastic with lots of sunshine & high temps in the mid-to-low 70’s!!!!
Get out & enjoy it!
Probably going to lay low tonight at the house with game two of the Eastern Conference finals on TV, but I’ll see a lot of you tomorrow for Big Bikes. And on Sunday, I think I’ll get on my Harley & go for a ride somewhere!
If you’re looking for something to do in the area this weekend, here’s a few suggestions:
FRIDAY – AMERICAN STANDARD @ HD TAVERN
They’ve got a REALLY sweet set-up in the back of the HD Tavern! Check out their live music schedule for the upcoming Summer months here. If you haven’t been there before, here’s your chance to get out on a Friday night for some beers & live tunes from American Standard.
These guys are great! They play everything from classic to modern Rock with a ton of energy, and have opened for Wayland, Static X, Psychostick, Quiet Riot, & Firehouse!
The show starts at 8pm and there’s no cover!
Here’s more info on this event.
