Slow news Tuesday just got slower. Pumphouse Road construction was scheduled today but delayed due to inclement weather. But this much is true: something happened somewhere today, but not here.

Food trucks are ascendant in 2020 after clearing some legal hurdles in the last few years. Venues such as the Northern Wisconsin State Fair, Leinie Lodge, River Bend Winery, Autumn Harvest Winery, and the CVCA Heyde Center for the Arts all had regular food trucks this summer. This photo gallery features a few that I spotted in the wild. Many more can be found at Volume One’s Listing. For current events, check out Food Truck Sunday at Riverbend Winery featuring the Magnolia Cafe from 11-4:30 and the Fair Food Shindig and Car Show on September 10-13 at the Fairgrounds.

Bohemian Ovens was selling Kolaches, a sort of filled Czech pastry, out of the back of a pickup on Friday night at the Leinie Lodge on East Elm Street.

A large yellow moon rose in the Southeast on Friday night. The waning moon was still close to full.

After months of work, a new traffic circle opened near the Kalk-Fattu Woods of Irvine Park. Hwy Q Northbound is currently closed until the bridge is replaced.

Off of Business 29, River Bend Winery was still a popular place on a warm Saturday in September. Jerk Chicken and other foods were offered by Island Vibe food truck.

The Labor Day Weekend may be the last hurrah for thrift sales this season. They taper off quickly in the fall and winter generally brings only the occasional estate sale or auction.

Every Thursday in September, the Chippewa Falls Public Library is planning on staging mini sales outside and after Labor Day, the library lobby will be open for 10 people Mon-Sat with Curbside pickup Mon-Fri by appointment.

Fall-like weather moved in the last few days and the last of some summer activities are happening this week.
