  • I was actually hoping to see a different headliner this year! Now they’re having the same band both nights? I’ll have to decide which night to skip this year instead of going both nights!

    Yawn Fest 2024. Way to change it up. Maybe next year we can get Bob Barker and Kenosha Kickers too. Perhaps we can bust a water main on 231 and have a slip slide down the hill. First one to ride a wave through the pothole rapids and cross the railroad tracks gets a $25 parking ticket voucher and a meal of their choice in town (only redeemable on Mondays).

  • Nothing like hurt your fellow downtown business by getting the city to allow you to make money off shutting downtown down and charging to get in and walk on a public sidewalk. I feel bad for those business which will be losing money because of this nonsense. Sounds like complete political corruption to me!!

  • Yes, the "Yawn Fest" (thank you Mayor Humdinger) has wore out it's welcome downtown and needs to move to another venue next year. I am, however, very interested in the Jackson Street slip n slide!!
