Hey neighbors 👋

After a few days of heavy rain, storms, and even some flooding in parts of the area, I just want to say, I hope everyone stayed safe and didn’t deal with too much damage. It’s never fun dealing with that kind of weather, but hopefully we’re turning the corner and heading into a calmer (and much nicer) weekend ahead.

And with that… there’s a lot to look forward to.

We’ve got a fun mix of events happening across the area, from the Pajama Pub Crawl in Downtown Menomonee Falls (yes, PJs encouraged 😄) to the Spring Marketplace this Saturday, plus a great lineup of local vendors, food, and community.

If you’re looking for something more low-key, our brand new Top 25 Pizza Guide is live and ready to help you find your next go-to spot. And of course… it wouldn’t be spring without ice cream, Mullen’s Dairy Bar is officially opening their Lake Country locations this weekend (weekends only for now 👀).

Have a great rest of your week, and enjoy everything happening around Waukesha County this weekend 🍻🍕🍦

The Pajama Pub Crawl is taking over Downtown Menomonee Falls this Saturday from 12–5PM, and yes… the theme is PJ’s at the Pub.
