Rockpile – 8-30-2017
Hello everybody!! I hope you had a great summer!! Where did the summer go??? Bowling season is right around the corner as several leagues have Fun Nite this week.
Hometown and Town and Country has their Fun Nite on Tuesday September 5th from 6:00-??
We actually are looking for some more bowlers on several leagues. Our Mixed Doubles League are looking for a few bowlers along with a few other leagues. Stop in or call 715-565-7300 if you are interested. It’s a chance to get out of the house and meet some new friends!!
It’s hard to believe we are starting our 27th year here at the Ol’ Rockpile!! Time just slips away!!
Glenwood City is gearing up for Rustic Lore Days in a couple of weeks, along with the All School Reunion. Sounds like there will be many Glenwood City Alumni coming back to town. Should be a good time. Several stores in Glenwood have memorabilia from days gone by. Make sure you take a look and see!! It’s very interesting.

New Priest
– dedicated to Deacon Wes Tuttle –
The elderly priest, speaking to the younger priest, said, “You had a good idea to replace the first four pews with plush bucket theater seats. It worked like a charm. The front of the church always fills first now.”
The young priest nodded, and the old priest continued, “And you told me adding a little more beat to the music would bring young people back to church, so I supported you when you brought in that rock ‘n roll gospel choir. Now our services are consistently packed to the balcony.”
“Thank you, Father,” answered the young priest. “I am pleased that you are open to the new ideas of youth.”
“All of these ideas have been well and good,” said the elderly priest, “But I’m afraid you’ve gone too far with the drive-thru confessional.”
“But Father,” protested the young priest, “my confessions and the donations have nearly doubled since I began that!”
“Yes,” replied the elderly priest, “and I appreciate that…but the flashing neon sign, ‘Toot ‘n Tell or Go to Hell’ cannot stay on the church roof.”
