Three things to do in & around La Crosse this weekend

After a sweltering week of heat and humidity, it’s finally going to cool off on Saturday & Sunday. Which is good, because this weekend is our 15th & final Backyard BBQ at our house. We’ve had a great run, but it’s time to say goodbye to this annual shindig!

I won’t be at any Rock Stops this weekend, but if you wanna get out & try to win the bike, your opportunities are dwindling. Click here for the list of the remaining Rock Stops!

If you’re looking for a few other things to do this weekend, here’s a couple of suggestions:

FRIDAY – THE FREEZERS @ WHISKEY RIVER BAR & GRILL

Kick the weekend off with an ice cold beer, some great food, & some kick-ass tunes from the Freezers!

They’re playing Whiskey River Bar & Grill on Friday night, starting at 8pm. They play all your favorite songs from the 70’s, 80’s, 90’s & 2000’s!

SATURDAY – ALL IN FOR AUTISM POKER RIDE @ ANGRY’S WAY OUT

This Saturday & Sunday, it’s the sixth annual All-In for Autism fundraiser for the La Crosse Area Autism Foundation.

On Saturday, it’s the yearly Poker Ride. Sign up at Angry’s Way Out starts at 10am, with kickstands up at 11am sharp. This year’s stops include the Boondocks Locker Room in Galesville, Uncle Sam’s in Arcadia, the Blair Haus in Blair, Hog Daddy’s Bar & Grill in Ettrick, and then back to Angry’s Way Out, to help support the “15th Annual Rockin’ the Prairie” event that benefits the Brice Prairie Fire Department & EMS.

SATURDAY NIGHT – ROCKIN’ THE PRAIRIE @ THE BRICE PRAIRIE EMS

This event raises crucial funds for that help support the Brice Prairie EMS & Rescue.
