See you THIS SATURDAY in KENOSHA, WI

7-10am, FREE
It’s our third annual appearance at the fabulous Wisconsin Marathon in Kenosha. A mere 60 miles north of Chicago, this has been a great way to start the day, and this year we will be celebrating Stylin’ Steve’s Birthday & Cinco de Mayo!! You don’t have to run the race to enjoy the fun – in fact, it might be more fun just to groove on the polka morning in Kenosha! And who knows what we might play – maybe the Cinco de Stevo Marathon Polka!

Happy Hump Day!

You'll notice a change....

...in the blog. In order to save some $$$ I've opted for the free blog instead of the one that was previously here. Main difference is the background and the picture of the dewey grass. As it's free- well I get what I pay for.

March
Saturday March 17 – Lincoln Square Lanes, 4874 N. Lincoln (just north of Lawrence), 9pm, FREE
It’s our St. Patrick’s Day Polka Party at Lincoln Square Lanes. Always, a TON OF FUN! We’ll be wearing the green and playing some special polkas for the day, like “Is Ronald McDonald Irish?” “Blarney Stone Polka,” “Just Say YES to St. Patrick’s Day,” and more. So c’mon out as we celebrate this fabulous holiday – it’s FREE!
