Big Bang

It is hard to believe that June is almost over.  Where did the time go?  I think we were all too busy having fun.

July is fast approaching and one thing that happens quite often around July 4th is FIREWORKS!  We just discovered this great website that lists firework displays in the State of Michigan.  Here's what we uncovered for Kent County.

Rogue River Blue Series continues the month of July on Tuesday nights AND America's Favorite Farm Market will be open on Saturday throughout the summer.  Check out this YouTube video from the June 12 performance.  The grass is green, the water looks cool and the music is smooooooth.

Don't forget:  If you have an event you'd like us to help promote, email us at calender@rockfordcornerbar.com  or leave a comment on this blog.

Singing the Blues

Start of Summer is over but don't be sad...the Rogue River Blues series kicks into high gear with performances on Tuesday nights at the Garden Park stage down by the river.

Tuesdays for Tots is over for the summer.  It will start again with the school year.  Also, don't forget Red's Pedal Power fundraiser for the White Pine Trail.

Please...if you have a community event you'd like for us to help you promote, leave us a comment or shoot us an email at calendar@rockfordcornerbar.com

BTW, to celebrate the Blue series, we're offering a Chicago Dog and to get you in the mood...here's the Blues Brothers in the House of Blues singing "Sweet Home Chicago."  See you on Tuesdays!

Start of Summer

It's that time of year again...one of Rockford's most anticipated events:  Start of Summer.  Carnival rides are already going up down in the parking lot by the Rogue.  The Rockford Chamber of Commerce has put the events brochure online so if you want the particulars, here's a link:  Start of Summer 2012

Woo Hoo!

The June calendar is up and as usual...there is a LOT going on.  America's Favorite Farmer's Market will be open on Saturdays.  Start of Summer is coming up the end of this week.


Here's what we have scheduled for Start of Summer 2012:
Friday:
Corner Bar Beer Tent will be open until midnight and feature the rock band "The Outer Vibe" from 8 - midnight.


Saturday:
Corner Bar Beer Tent will be open until midnight and feature country band, "The Bronk Bros." from 7 - midnight.  


Don't forget Rockford Rotary's Big Daddy Duck Race.  We've been training our duck for weeks now.  We think all of the chili he's consumed will give him that extra "kick" to win this highly contested race to raise money for Rockford reading programs.  If you haven't purchased tickets yet...we have them.  Buy a $5 duck ticket and get free Corner Bar donuts!

Finally...just for fun:  The anthem that defines our lives this time of year:
