Well, it’s been bittersweet this summer!! Although, the summer slipped away fast, a lot of fun events were scratched because of the COVID-19. Hopefully, we’ll have a better end to 2020!!
Bowling is right around the corner and the Wednesday Ladies league is starting this coming Wednesday night at 7:00.
We also have a meeting this Wednesday at 2:00 p.m. for the Wednesday afternoon league. Our Seniors will be having a meeting on Sept. 17th starting at noon, with a fun day after the meeting. We are scheduled to start on Thursday, September 24th at 12:30. It’s hard to believe that we are starting our 30th year here at the Ol’ Rockpile!! Time flies when you are having fun!!
If you have any funny stories, quotes or jokes, please feel free to send them our way!! Just a reminder also that we will be featuring a Bean Bag tournament here on Saturday, September 12th starting at noon sharp. $20/team. First come first served (we’re keeping it local!!!) Stop in or give us a call – 715-565-7300.

Old Classmate
I bumped into an old school friend today. He started showing off, talking about his well paid job and expensive sports car.
Then he pulled out a photo of his wife and said, “She’s beautiful, isn’t she?”
I said, “If you think she’s gorgeous, you should see my girlfriend.”
He said, “Why? Is she a stunner?”
I said, “No, she’s an optician.”
My wife and I went grocery shopping with masks, got home, took off the masks…and I realized I brought home the wrong wife!! Stay alert, people!!
