The BoDeans; A Big Hit at Stevens Point Riverfront Celebration! 
It was a great night in Stevens Point last night as I took a few hours off and took my favorite girl for a date to the BoDeans Concert at the Steven Point Riverfront Rendezvous.
The park was packed as several thousand people showed up for the Bodeans and the other performers who were playing on the other 2 stages.
The BoDeans were great, the crowd was a bit much, and my date was spectacular as she always is.
For those of you who missed the first two days of this celebration, you still have one more day of concerts and other fun, including a parade that I will be driving in for Franciscans Downtown. (see the schedule below)
Thanks Stevens Point for providing events like this on a warm summer night!

***************************************
Stevens Point Riverfront Rendezvous, the cant miss event in Central Wisconsin
Friday, Saturday and Sunday - July 1, 2, & 3 2016
Free Admission and Entertainment
One of the many highlights of living in Stevens Point is the Riverfront Rendezvous. A huge celebration of free music and opportunity to see friends and neighbors and occasionally a few celebrities.
I always work hard to make sure that this is a week when I am not traveling so that I can attend this event.
This year is will be tough finding a week to dedicate to being in Point, but I will be stopping in from time to time enjoying the sights, sounds, tasty treats, and friends at the Rendezvous.
