GOOD MORNING, COULEE
Thanks for joining me this morning. In today’s newsletter…
☔️ The rain has a personal vendetta against our region’s live music, apparently. That’s alright. We’ve got a fresh slate of events for you today.
🍋 Stop and see our friends with Coulee Lemon Co. at the Mid-West family building today. Here’s the info »
🎶 Moon Tunes tonight—stay away, rain. See who is playing »
🧚♂️ There’s a Fairy Tale Frolic scheduled for Friday in Myrick Park that is perfect for the littles. That sounds fun »
🕰️ A little local history to look back on.
Thursday, baby. Let’s get it. 👇
