It’s Beef-a-Rama day in Minocqua! 🐄

We hope everyone has a great time soaking up the sights, the sounds, and all the beef. Enjoy a cold beverage for us and celebrate one of the Northwoods’ favorite days.

A big shout-out to Krystal and the entire CVB crew for all the work that goes into making this event happen. Cheers to you and everyone headed to Minocqua today! 🍻

We get to borrow Jared Kay from his beautiful family one last time this summer as he bends the strings for our final Sunday Night Porch Party of the season! 🎸🔥

With the sun setting a little earlier these days, the music will be rolling from 4–7ish. We’ll be doing our best to feed you, so come grab a plate, find a spot on the porch and wrap up Labor Day weekend in style.

A huge thank-you to everyone who walked through our doors this summer. You’ve given us another season filled with great people, good times, and plenty of memories for the scrapbook. We’re incredibly grateful that Bad Bones gets to be part of your Northwoods summers.

Tomorrow we will be hamging out at Whitman’s for the annual Wave Party so if you’re heading back to reality after the long weekend, be sure to give us a honk on your way by. 👋

There’s no place like Bones.

From making the best mac & cheese in the Northwoods to making tackles on Saturdays!

Our very own Tyrone made his collegiate debut for Concordia University Wisconsin today—and we couldn’t be prouder. Turns out the best mac maker around is also a damn fine nose tackle.

We’ve watched this young man work hard, chase his dream and earn this moment. Seeing #98 out there in a Falcons uniform was pretty damn special.

Congratulations, Tyrone! Your Bad Bones family is incredibly proud of you—and we can’t wait to watch what comes next! 🏈
