SUMMARY:🎳 Kids Bowl Free
DESCRIPTION:It’s that time when families start planning on what they’re going to do for the summer! \n\n\n\nLet Kids Bowl Free help!  Each registered child (check each center for age requirements) gets to bowl 2 games free every single day!  (Check individual bowling alleys for shoe rental details) all summer long at NO Cost to Parents!  (But plan for the concessions…. my kids LOVE bowling alley food\, just sayin’) \n\n\n\nParents\, do you want to bowl with your kids? Then you’ll want to check out the Family Pass! This allows parents\, older siblings and babysitters to bowl alongside the registered kids. This is a one-time payment that allows up to 4 adults to bowl 2 games free all summer long\, with your Kids Bowl Free registered children. (You can add the family pass on at any time during the season.) \n\n\n\nHow it works: \n\n\n\n\nLocate a Kids Bowl Free participating location near you (this is the only one covered all summer)\n\n\n\nRegister – Create your Kids Bowl Free account and register your kids.  Decide if the Family Pass is right for your family.\n\n\n\nHave Fun – Make Memories – Go Screen-Free — Make New Friends–  Bowl 2 games free every day\, all summer long! \n\n\n\n\nThings to Note: \n\n\n\n\nEach bowling alley determines the times the program is active. Program begins April 30th! You can find the details here when you choose a location near you. Dates and Times will vary! (I’ve seen some start as early as April 30th and as late as June 1st and end between August 30-Sept 2) I’ve seen only 1 with hours available 7 days a week.\n\n\n\nCheck each location for age requirements. I’ve seen them range from 2-18 with some ending as early as 15.\n\n\n\nI found at least 8 participating centers within 60 minutes of Clintonville.\n\n\n\nThe Registration is not transferable between the different bowling centers.

SUMMARY:Every Day is a Holiday - 🐦 Pet Bird Day
DESCRIPTION:Every Day is Holiday Facebook Post \n\n\n\n🦜 EVERY DAY IS A HOLIDAY! 🦜September 17 is Pet Bird Day! \n\n\n\nCats had their day. \n\n\n\nThe reptiles got theirs. \n\n\n\nToday we’re celebrating the family members who are colorful\, clever\, occasionally cuddly… \n\n\n\nand perfectly capable of OUT-YELLING THE ENTIRE HOUSE. 😂 \n\n\n\nIt’s Pet Bird Day! 🐦❤️ \n\n\n\n🦜 BIRDS ARE PRETTY INCREDIBLE PETS. \n\n\n\nDepending on the species\, pet birds can learn sounds\, solve puzzles\, recognize routines and form incredibly strong bonds with their humans. \n\n\n\nAnd some parrots can even learn to imitate human speech. \n\n\n\nWhich sounds adorable… \n\n\n\nuntil your bird learns something you REALLY wish it hadn’t. 😳😂 \n\n\n\n🐦 DID YOU KNOW? \n\n\n\n🦜 Parrots use their feet almost like hands to grab and manipulate things — including their food. \n\n\n\n💤 Many birds need a consistent routine and plenty of uninterrupted sleep. \n\n\n\n🧩 Intelligent bird species need enrichment and things to DO. Toys\, foraging opportunities\, interaction and safe exploration help keep those busy bird brains occupied. \n\n\n\n❤️ And depending on the species\, bringing home a bird can be a VERY long commitment. \n\n\n\nSome parrots can live for decades. \n\n\n\nMeaning that adorable feathered friend isn’t necessarily a “the kids wanted a pet” decision. \n\n\n\nIt can be a significant part of your family for many\, many years. \n\n\n\n🐦 AND ABOUT THAT BIRD CAGE… \n\n\n\nA pet bird isn’t meant to simply sit in a small cage looking pretty. \n\n\n\nDifferent species have very different needs for space\, diet\, social interaction\, enrichment and veterinary care. \n\n\n\nSo\, just like we talked about on Iguana Awareness Day: \n\n\n\nResearch BEFORE bringing home the pet. ❤️ \n\n\n\nKnow how big they’ll get. \n\n\n\nKnow what they’ll eat. \n\n\n\nKnow how much attention they need. \n\n\n\nKnow how long they may live. \n\n\n\nAnd perhaps most importantly… \n\n\n\nKnow how LOUD they can be. 😂 \n\n\n\n📸 OKAY\, BIRD PEOPLE — THIS IS YOUR MOMENT! \n\n\n\nWe want to meet your feathered family members! \n\n\n\n👇 Drop a picture in the comments and tell us: \n\n\n\n🐦 Their name🦜 What kind of bird they are🎂 How old they are😂 The funniest/weirdest thing they do \n\n\n\nAnd if your bird talks… \n\n\n\nWhat’s the funniest thing they’ve learned to say? \n\n\n\nWe have a feeling there are STORIES behind some of these answers. 😂 \n\n\n\nNo pet bird? \n\n\n\nYou can still play! \n\n\n\n👇 IF YOU COULD HAVE ANY BIRD AS A PET — practicality completely ignored — what are you choosing? \n\n\n\n🦜 A colorful parrot?🐦 A tiny finch?💛 A cockatiel?💙 A parakeet?🦉 An owl? \n\n\n\nOr are you firmly: \n\n\n\n“I have enough things making noise in my house already.” 😂 \n\n\n\n🦜 Happy Pet Bird Day! \n\n\n\nToday we celebrate the pets who bring a little extra color\, personality and song into a home… \n\n\n\nwhether or not anyone actually ASKED them to start singing at 6 AM. 😂❤️

SUMMARY:A Visit With Margaret Ashmun
DESCRIPTION:The Waupaca Historical Society will welcome Dr. Connie Haack-Hurlbut for “A Visit with Margaret Ashmun” on Thursday\, September 17\, at 6 p.m. at the Holly History & Genealogy Center at 321 S. Main Street\, Waupaca. \n\n\n\n Born in Rural in 1875\, Margaret Ashmun went on to become an educator\, author\, editor\, artist\, traveler\, and biographer. Her sizeable body of work explored subjects that remain surprisingly relevant today\, including women’s education and independence\, adoption and the hopes for caring homes\, the effects of domestic violence\, the horrors of war and the need to find joy in everyday life. Even today\, Ashmun’s books and writings continue to attract readers and researchers.  \n\n\n\nHaack-Hurlbut’s journey into Ashmun’s life began with a chance question she heard on a Wisconsin Public Radio call-in program and grew into decades of “detective work” that took her from Waupaca and the Chain O’Lakes to libraries and archives in Wisconsin\, Washington\, D.C.\, New York City\, and locations connected to Ashmun’s life in Connecticut and Massachusetts. \n\n\n\n A retired college educator and longtime community volunteer\, Haack-Hurlbut was selected Wisconsin Teacher of the Year\, then chosen Midwest Teacher of the Year and became one of four finalists for the AVA/ACTE National Teacher of the Year. She was also featured in the American Association of University Women’s book\, “Dreamers and Doers of Northeast Wisconsin\, Vol 1.” Like Ashmun\, Haack-Hurlbut credits her own formative years in Waupaca’s Girl Scouts\, Job’s Daughters\, and local restaurant work for shaping her lifelong commitment to education and service.  \n\n\n\nThis program is free and open to the public\, and all are welcome to attend. For more information\, contact the Waupaca Historical Society at (715) 256-9980 or visit waupacahistoricalsociety.org.

SUMMARY:Every Day is a Holiday - 🍔 National Cheeseburger Day
DESCRIPTION:Every Day is A Holiday \n\n\n\n🍔🧀 EVERY DAY IS A HOLIDAY! 🧀🍔September 18 is National Cheeseburger Day! \n\n\n\nWisconsin… \n\n\n\nWe have been TRAINING for this holiday. 😂🧀 \n\n\n\nToday is National Cheeseburger Day\, and honestly\, combining beef with cheese might be one of humanity’s better decisions. \n\n\n\nBut WHO made that decision first? \n\n\n\n🍔 A LITTLE CHEESEBURGER HISTORY… \n\n\n\nLike many great food inventions\, several people have claimed credit. \n\n\n\nOne of the earliest stories dates to the 1920s\, when a young cook named Lionel Sternberger is said to have experimented with putting a slice of American cheese on a hamburger at his father’s California restaurant. \n\n\n\nOther restaurants later claimed their own versions of the invention — and the exact origin is still debated. \n\n\n\nWhich means people have apparently been arguing about cheeseburgers for approximately a century. \n\n\n\nExcellent. Let’s continue the tradition. 😂 \n\n\n\n🧀 FIRST QUESTION: WHAT CHEESE BELONGS ON A BURGER? \n\n\n\nAmerican? \n\n\n\nCheddar? \n\n\n\nPepper Jack? \n\n\n\nSwiss? \n\n\n\nProvolone? \n\n\n\nBlue cheese? \n\n\n\nHere in Wisconsin\, choosing no cheese feels suspicious\, but we’ll try not to judge. 😂 \n\n\n\n🍔 NOW BUILD THE PERFECT BURGER. \n\n\n\nStart with your burger and cheese. \n\n\n\nThen things get controversial… \n\n\n\n🥓 Bacon🥬 Lettuce🍅 Tomato🧅 Raw onions🧅 Grilled onions🥒 Pickles🍄 Mushrooms🌶️ Jalapeños🍳 Fried egg \n\n\n\nAnd then we arrive at the question capable of dividing families: \n\n\n\nKETCHUP OR NO KETCHUP?! 😳 \n\n\n\n🌾 WANT TO MAKE TONIGHT’S BURGER EXTRA LOCAL? \n\n\n\nCheck your local Farmers Market or Farm Stand — or take a peek through our Farm Stand Guide — and see how many burger ingredients you can find locally! \n\n\n\n🥩 Local beef🍅 Fresh tomatoes🧅 Onions🥬 Lettuce🌶️ Peppers🥒 Pickles🥚 Farm-fresh eggs \n\n\n\nMaybe even some locally made buns\, sauces or other goodies depending on where you stop. \n\n\n\nLOCAL CHEESE? \n\n\n\nFriends. \n\n\n\nWe’re in Wisconsin. \n\n\n\nWe shouldn’t have to explain this part. 🧀😂 \n\n\n\n🚗 OR LET SOMEBODY ELSE COOK! \n\n\n\nToday’s also a pretty fantastic excuse to support a local restaurant. \n\n\n\nIf there’s a restaurant\, bar & grill\, diner or supper club around Northeast Wisconsin making an AMAZING cheeseburger… \n\n\n\n👇 TAG THEM! \n\n\n\nTell us where you get your favorite local burger AND what you order. \n\n\n\nLet’s give everybody some ideas for dinner tonight. ❤️ \n\n\n\n🍔 THE ULTIMATE CHEESEBURGER ROLL CALL: \n\n\n\nTell us yours: \n\n\n\n🥩 Burger: ______🧀 Cheese: ______🥓 Toppings: ______🥫 Sauce: ______🍟 Side: ______ \n\n\n\nAnd one final question… \n\n\n\nDo you put the fries ON the burger? \n\n\n\nBecause apparently we need to know how chaotic this community really is. 😂 \n\n\n\n🍔🧀 Happy National Cheeseburger Day! \n\n\n\nSupport local. \n\n\n\nEat Wisconsin cheese. \n\n\n\nAnd remember: \n\n\n\nA cheeseburger is basically a salad if you put enough lettuce and tomato on it. \n\n\n\nWe don’t make nutritional rules. 😂
