GOOD MORNING, COULEE
Thanks for joining me this morning. In today’s newsletter…
🎨 ArtSpire is happening in Riverside Park this weekend. A free event celebrating local arts. That’s doesn’t sound like a bad way to spend a Saturday afternoon, does it? »
🎶 The La Crosse Center is hosting Trivia on the Terrace—with live music. Tonight at 5pm »
😋 I’m not usually big on pineapple as a pizza topping—but today’s That Looks Good looks, like, really good.
🔭 Want to learn something and enjoy the nature a bit this weekend? There’s an in-person talk at Perrot that will feature a 30 minute talk and slide show about astronomy. It’s free and no registration is required »
Alright, people. Let’s get the day started. 👇
THOUGHT
“Don't ask yourself what the world needs. Ask yourself what makes you come alive, and then go do that. Because what the world needs is people who have come alive.”
