Crossing Paths - Waverly Beach - July 3

It was a gorgeous day on July 3 so I headed over to Waverly Beach in Menasha.  They feature music on their patio every Sunday starting at 3:00pm.  I was very impressed by the options of outside activities. There was a sand pit for building castles or for some beach volleyball, a full outside bar with lots of shading, a dining patio,  motorcyle parking and a boat launch.  The particular Sunday I attended had Crossing Paths, a rock cover band, taking their audience on a musical journey through the decades. Below are photos, video and links.

Unity - Mill Creek - Jun 30

June 30th was a make lemonade from lemons kind of day. It was raining which had cancelled plans to see my goddaughter play t-ball so we went to dinner instead which ended up being a lot of fun. For fans of the Heid Summer Music Series held at Houdini Plaza on Thursday nights it meant that they had a new venue to take in the show, Mill Creek.  Unity the Band (reggae/world/funk/blues) was the featured band of the night. I was fortunate to have a bit of time while waiting for my party to attend.
These talented musicians are super fun creating very danceable tunes both original and covered.
