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.
