Thanks for joining me this morning. In today’s newsletter…

😋 You hungry? You’re about to be. I’ll share a dish that Looks Good from one of my favorite new places in La Crosse.

🎨 This Saturday, an art market in Artist Alley (Civic Center Walkway) features live music and food vendors. Plus, it’s hosted by one of our business sponsors, River City Gallery. Here’s the info »

🍷 If that leaves you inspired, get on over to All Glazed Up for Sip & Paint that evening. Sign up here »

Alright, let’s have a Friday. Here we go. 👇

📖 Fribble (verb) — FRIB-ul
❤️ To spend time on small, pleasant, unimportant things.
💡 Why it's good: An afternoon spent fribbling in the garden is never really wasted.
