Pete and I had an eventful weekend. On Sunday we drove down to Eagle River for the Festival of Flavors featuring Wisconsin food and drink. I met Troy Landwehr, a cheese carver and winemaker from Appleton. He has a national reputation and his portfolio is just amazing.

The festival was held at Riverview Park - true to name, the park had a pretty view of the river.

The night before we attended Block Party 2011 at Trig's in Minocqua. We went with some of my colleagues from work to listen to music and enjoy a really nice summer night.

On Monday night we caught the last showshoe baseball game of the season in Lake Tomahawk. They've been playing snowshoe every summer in the town since 1961 and the players have it down; it's astounding to me that there are very few falls. Check out their website Lake Tomahawk Snowshoe Baseball for more information about the sport.

While we enjoyed one of the last weekends of summer the dogs stayed home to guard the sofa.
