Showdown

Well the showdown is just about here. Monday night football with the Packers and the Vikings. So much hype has been made about this game as fans and through the media. Favre is taking on the Packers for the first time. But how big is it? To me the even bigger game is when Favre returns the Lambeau Field. It should be fun and hopefully the Packers come out on the good end. Coverage on K107.1 starts at 5pm Monday night.

Interesting Summer

As summer comes to a close this week I reflect on what a summer it has been around the area. The ecomonic crisis in our country continues and so much so we've felt the rath in the area. Mercury Marine and it's union had a very difficult decision on trying to come together to get a resolution. That situation has finally settled and now everyone can move forward.

In the weather department it has been very strange. A cooler than normal summer with cold temperatures in the evening. It wasn't until a few weeks ago the weather really turned good and continues.

In the sports department it seems like the Pack is back. We also had our annual summer of Brett Favre staying retired and then changing his mind and coming to play for the Vikings. The Brewers went from a playoff team to possible a losing season.

What a summer it has been. As fall comes upon us, the leaves will fall and the deep winter is coming soon.

Fondue Fest

It's become a fall tradition in Fond du Lac, Fondue Fest. Three years ago it started and has turned into an event that kicks off the fall season. Hundreds of people will gather in downtown Fond du Lac to find the Farmer's Markets, merchants, food and music. There are kids activities in the Fundu-zone.

I look forward to this event every year. I recently read in the paper that Fondue Fest was rated right behind Walleye Weekend as festivals people look forward to.

Enjoy the fall season in downtown Fondy!

Football Season

It's one of my favorite times of year. Football season getting underway. The Packers are now into their third preseason game tomorrow night against the Arizona Cardinals. Plus high school football gets underway tomorrow night as well. I will be out out broadcasting from North Fondy for the Touchdown Club and their annual tailgate party. Come out for burgers, hot dogs, brats and most important high school football. Good luck to all area teams. We are ready for another exciting season.

Welcome to August

The month of August is now here. July just flew by as always. Depending on where you are located the month of July went down in the top 2 or 3 coldest ever. Guess it must be global warming huh???

Hopefully the month of August will bring us warmer temperatures. Packer training camp started this weekend and the Back to School sales are in progress. The Winnebago County and State Fair's get underway this week.

We are one month away from the unofficial end to summer. Labor Day. Enjoy it while you can. Cooler days are coming soon!!

Random Thoughts

It's the lunch hour on Thurs. Just getting ready to get a winner with "On this Date in Taco History."

I am trying to get over a summer cold that has hit me this week. I had two days of vacation early in the week and they should have been sick days. Like everyone I hate being sick to begin with but a cold during the summer has to be the worst. It's warm outside and you are sitting around the house sneezing and blowing you nose.

Hopefully I will be better by the weekend. Any plans this weekend? I am going to try and get out to enjoy the summer weather and go camping.

Have a great weekend!
