Big weekend in Hammond!

Oh my, if you missed the BUZZ on the Local Biz Live from the Hammond Hotel yesterday, you missed a great time. Every Thursday afternoon from 3-4pm, we broadcast my once 10 minute pre-recorded show live from Hammond, Wisconsin. We sit out on the patio (by the way, it was super hot yesterday) and we chat about events going on and we talk about businesses. We are all about name dropping and informing the public. We are hoping that WIXK will be able to stream online soon and then our show will be easier to listen to. Some of your can't hear the show because WIXK doesn't come in where you are!

So this weekend is huge for Hammond. The very popular and long awaited Hammond Heartland Days is this weekend and there is so much going on, I'm not going to list it all. But know that not only is there activities and live music going on all weekend at the Park, but each restaurant/bar in town has something going on. Please check out thelocalbizonline.com for more information. And you can also check out the poster for Heartland Days to get a day by day list of all activities!

A few things I will mention, the bean bag tourney is tonight. Sponsored by the the Central St. Croix Area Chamber, it happens tonight (Friday)in the parking lot of the Hammond Hotel. There will be live music out on the patio so you can enjoy music, drinks and some friendly competition! Hope to see you out there!

Another event going on right now and has been since Tuesday is the medallion hunt. Check out how it works at www.cscacoc.org for more information.

And finally - if you have any aggressions against me, come out to Heartland Days! The Chamber is having a dunk tank and I'm sitting it in at 11am! WOW - this should be interesting! I have Don Fowell to thank and I understand that Michelle and Sandy have Don to thank to. So hard to say no to, that Don Fowell is! All proceeds go to the Chamber Scholarship! Hope to see you out there. It will be set up in the Hammond Hotel parking lot.

Have a super weekend, we are also going to the Pierce County Fair on Saturday afternoon as well!

It’s going to be a big week!

First off, our radio show was AWESOME! If you didn’t get a chance to hear it, I’m not sure if I will be able to get the show uploaded to the website anymore. We are working on that because of the size of the files, it might be a little difficult. If you aren’t doing anything on Thursday afternoon from 3-4pm, please stop by the Hammond Hotel. Sit out on the patio with us as we chat about the Local Biz, the Hammond Hotel and with Local Businesses. Last week, we chatted with Brad Parrott of the Central St. Croix Chamber and also with Dirk Vrieze of 3 Guys Granite and the host of Dirk Off Tuesdays at the Hammond Hotel! We sent Don off in style to Sturgis, but he will be back today and ready for our show on Thursday and for Hammond Heartland Days that is about to get started this weekend!
Heartland Days starts out with a Medallion Hunt that is sponsored by the Central St. Croix Chamber of Commerce of which I sit as co-chair of the Heartland Days committee! So go out there and start looking! The hunt starts tomorrow (Tuesday morning by 8am). Then on Wednesday, the Hammond Golf Club has their Big Cup Tournament. There’s still time to get in on the fun! Give Brandon a call at the golf club. The number is 715-796-2266. Also on Wednesday, the Hammond Library is hosting the Teddy Bear Band outside next the other Library. Again this year, the library has many activities planned for Heartland Days. If you go to the Local Biz website, and go to featured stories, there is more info about the Library’s Heartland Days activities!
Then of course, there is so much going on this weekend throughout Hammond. It’s a huge weekend for many of my friends! Find out more on the website and make sure to stop by the Hammond Hotel on Thursday afternoon for the Buzz on the Local Bizz LIVE from the Hammond Hotel!
More to come later this week!
