By Ken De Laat It’s mid August. MID AUGUST! I know! How can it be? Wasn't it just last week we were gearing up for the 4th? Now here we are on the downward slide to September already. Agreed, these days summer extends into September due to the climate change those of us who trust science blame. But hey, there is still 'music to play, places to go people to see' as the Bye Bye Birdie song advised us. Here you go. Gina & Jordan return to the Riverstop Cafe Thursday from 6:30-9pm. The RStop music series has given the citizens of Near North a truly fine option for pre weekend entertainment and are much appreciated for doing so. We don't know what Extreme Music Bingo is but it’s not your grandmother's bingo, of that you can be assured. If your curiosity is piqued the Croton Township campground is hosting EMB on Friday from 7-10pm and no you don’t have to be staying there to play. The CTC has a lot of cool stuff going on including music on Saturday featuring Jason Eller with Robin (no no the Batman Robin) from7-10pm Saturday. Saturday is Rodeo on the Pond over in Morley starting at 4pm. This is a Full Sanctioned Rodeo with Bareback, Saddle Bronc, Bull Riding, Tie Down, Steer Wrestling, Team Roping, Barrel Racing, Break Away Roping. And while we are not sure what most of that is, rodeo fans certainly do. Adults $15, Children $10, Under 6 are free The Driftwood has 3 days of tunes beginning Friday with the Faulkners 6-9pm, then coming back on Saturday with Dwood faves Big Cadillac playing 4-8pm and topping off a tuneful weekend with Innuendo on Sunday from 3-7. And if you're looking to take a drive the Danish Festival is putting out some serious Scandinavian celebration in Greenville through Sunday. There you go Near Northians. Grab some fun and always remember the words of Commander Cody who said in song, “Too much fun, that's news to me Too much fun, there must be A whole lotta things that I never done But I ain't never had too much fun”
