June is here, and so is the fun!
This week is packed with the kind of events that make summer in Waukesha County so much fun. On Tuesday, dog lovers can head to Pups in the Big BARKyard at Matty’s Bar in New Berlin for an evening of tail wags, food, drinks, and quality time with their four-legged friends. If cars are more your speed, Rumors Sports Bar in Sussex is hosting a car show featuring everything from hot rods and classics to motorcycles, plus food, cold beer, cash prizes, and a chance to win a Blackstone griddle.
The summer fun keeps rolling on Wednesday as both the Pewaukee Farmers Market and Bass Bay Beer Garden officially open for the season. Then on Thursday, the curtain rises on Sleuth at Sunset Playhouse in Elm Grove, kicking off a suspense-filled theatrical run through June 21. Whether you're looking for outdoor fun, live entertainment, local food, or a reason to get out of the house, there's plenty happening around town this week.
