WEDNESDAY NEWS DESK

BREAKING NEWS: Wednesday has been unfairly labeled the boring day of the week.

We would like to formally dispute that.

Wednesday has burgers.
Wednesday has a meat raffle.
Wednesday has Happy Hour.

Sounds like a pretty solid day to us.

BURGER NIGHT + MEAT RAFFLE
Starting at 5 PM

HAPPY HOUR
4–6 PM

Come grab dinner, try your luck, and give yourself a reason to get out of the house tonight.

A very brief reminder from the newsroom...

🚨 NO MUSIC BINGO TOMORROW NIGHT. 🚨

That's all we'll say about that.

For now.

Social Media Manager Commentary:

Wednesday doesn't need to be exciting.
It just needs burgers and the possibility of winning meat.
Honestly, that's enough.

See you at Toad Lake Store.

TUESDAY NEWS ALERT: AND A VERY IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT

First things first, yes, it is Tuesday.

Which means the week has officially begun here at Toad Lake Store, because we've decided Monday is just an optional warm up.

TODAY'S LUNCH SPECIAL

Tator Tot Hotdish. How much more Minnesotan can you get with a lunch special like that?!

Now for the announcement that may cause some emotional distress...

THERE IS NO MUSIC BINGO THIS THURSDAY.

We know.
We can already hear the boos.
Actually, we heard them Thursday night.
And yes, you can boo again. We'll allow it.

Why?

Because your beloved Social Media Manager is RUNNING AWAY.

She has officially put herself on vacation.
There is camping to be done.
There are FIVE DAYS OF HORSE RIDING that need to happen.

And apparently, if she doesn't get some serious time outside, someone is going to be watching an episode of Snapped and saying, "Honestly, we probably should have seen this coming."

So for everyone's safety...

Bingo will be unavailable.
Do not pass Go.
Do not collect $200.
She is on DND.

We repeat...

DND.

The posts have been scheduled.
The bar will continue functioning.
The world will keep spinning.

And she will be somewhere outside, probably covered in dirt, horse hair, and questionable camping decisions.

Music Bingo will return next week, and we expect all of you to come back for Bingo with your singing voices and your complaints about the missed week.

Social Media Manager Commentary:

Look, I love you guys.
But I also love my sanity.

And there is a very real possibility that five days on horseback is the only thing standing between me and a true Netflix crime documentary.

So I'm choosing prevention.

You're welcome.

Now carry on.

I'll see you when I see you.

Probably somewhere with a horse, a campfire, and absolutely no WiFi.

SUNDAY FUNDAY NEWS DESK

Breaking news: It's Sunday.

But we're choosing not to dwell on that.

Monday?

Who?

Never heard of her.

There is still plenty of weekend left, and we're not wasting it worrying about tomorrow.

Tonight's assignment is simple:

KARAOKE
7 PM

Come grab a drink, pick a song, and help us pretend the weekend isn't almost over.

Social Media Commentary:

Sunday is for making questionable decisions that you can blame on "end of the weekend energy."
Monday can have your attention tomorrow.
Tonight, you have a very important appointment with a microphone.

And if you're thinking, "I don't sing karaoke..."

That's adorable.

Neither does half the bar.

They just haven't let that stop them.

Come wrap up the weekend with us at Toad Lake Store.

08/29/2026

SATURDAY WEEKEND REPORT

What a glorious weekend it looks to be.

The kind of weekend that makes you want to put off every chore you've been ignoring and head straight for the lake.

Luckily, we've got whatever you need to get the weekend going, take a break from it, or simply avoid being productive for a few hours.

Okay, maybe not whatever.

There are limitations to our magic powers.

But we can handle food, drinks, sports, and giving you a pretty solid excuse to stay out a little longer.

THE TWINS ARE PLAYING TODAY!

And you know we'll have the game on, so you can keep up with the action while enjoying your Saturday.

Then tonight...

PRIME RIB NIGHT
5–9 PM

It's Saturday. It's Prime Rib. You know the drill.

RESERVATIONS ARE NEEDED, so make yours ahead of time before you end up standing outside wondering why you didn't call.

Social Media Commentary:

Today's official recommendation:

Do less.
Enjoy more.
Let someone else cook dinner.
And if anyone asks what happened to your list of weekend chores, simply tell them you were unavailable.

We won't tell. For a small fee we will even say we saw you get everything done you wanted to before heading here...

See you at Toad Lake Store.

08/28/2026

The weekend has officially been cleared for takeoff.

Before everyone disappears toward the lake, the cabin, or wherever your weekend plans are taking you, we've got two very important pieces of information.

LUNCH SPECIAL

Chicken or Beef Fajita Salad

A solid choice for lunch before you make some less responsible food decisions later.

Because...

TACO FRIDAY IS BACK.

Starting at 5 PM

$4 Hard or Soft Shell Tacos

$13 Fry Bread Taco

That's right. Friday night dinner is officially someone else's problem.

Social Media Commentary:

We believe in balance.
Salad for lunch.
Tacos for dinner.
Whatever happens between the two is none of our business.

Come hungry. Stay awhile. It's Friday, and frankly, you've earned it.

See you at Toad Lake Store.

08/27/2026

THURSDAY HAS SOME EXPLAINING TO DO.

Because apparently Thursday at Toad Lake Store have become a whole thing.

And honestly, we're here for it.

First up, lunch.

LUNCH SPECIAL

BBQ Ribs
with Potato Salad and Bean Bake

Then tonight, we've got...

MUSIC BINGO
7 PM
FREE TO PLAY

8 FREE ROUNDS.

Fun prizes.

And an entire room of people becoming a very enthusiastic group choir for approximately 20 seconds at a time.

And here's where things get interesting...

We already have 35 RESERVATIONS for Music Bingo tonight.

THIRTY FIVE.

See what you're missing out on?!?!

We've had some amazing groups joining us lately, and we seriously love seeing all the new faces becoming regulars.

People come in for dinner and drinks.

They hear the music.

They decide, "Well, we might as well play."

And suddenly they're shouting answers, singing along, celebrating wins, and telling us they're coming back next Thursday.

And wouldn't you know it...

TODAY IS NATIONAL JUST BECAUSE DAY.

Honestly, perfect timing.

You don't need a reason to come tonight.

Come for the BBQ ribs just because.
Stay for a drink just because.
Play Music Bingo just because.
Sing loudly with a room full of strangers just because.
And if anyone asks why you're out on a Thursday night?

Just because.

Social Media Commentary:

Thirty five people already have plans.

We're just saying...

They might know something you don't.

Come see what the fuss is about.
Just because.

08/26/2026

WEDNESDAY STATUS REPORT

After extensive research, several meetings, and absolutely no public input, we can confirm that Wednesday has once again brought us Burger Night and the Meat Raffle.

BURGER NIGHT + MEAT RAFFLE
Starting at 5pm

Come hungry. Come lucky. Come prepared to watch someone win meat while you dramatically question every life decision that led you to choose that raffle number.

Social Media Commentary:

There is a very specific moment during every meat raffle when everyone suddenly becomes a statistician.

"Okay, if they pull that number, then I'm next."

No, you're not.

But we admire the confidence.

P.s. It is National Dog Day, and pictures will help us all with the midweek blues! Post those dogs!

08/25/2026

THE WEEKLY NEWS HAS ARRIVED

Good news, everyone.

The week begins today.

Yes, Tuesday.

Because here at Toad Lake Store, we have collectively decided Monday is simply a warm up day and Tuesday is where the actual week gets started.

And honestly, doesn't that make everything better?

Today's important news...

LUNCH SPECIAL

Ham and Cheesy Potatoes
with Corn on the Cob

A proper comfort food situation for a Tuesday.

HAPPY HOUR
4–6 PM

Social Media Commentary:

Some places insist the week starts on Monday.

We don't recognize their authority.

Here, Tuesday is the official beginning of the week, and we're feeling pretty good about that decision.

Come have lunch, enjoy happy hour, and ease into the week like the responsible adults we occasionally pretend to be.

See you at TLS.

08/23/2026

SUNDAY SERVICE

Welcome to the final day of the weekend.

Today's service is dedicated to anyone who looked at the clock this morning and thought, "There is no way it's Sunday already and Monday is tomorrow."

Unfortunately, the calendar has spoken.

Before Monday comes knocking, come wrap up the weekend with us.

KARAOKE
7 PM

Grab a drink, find a song, and enjoy one last night of weekend freedom before responsibilities start making demands again.

Social Media Manager Commentary:

There is something about Sunday night karaoke that brings out a very specific kind of confidence.

People who spent the entire day saying, "I'm exhausted," suddenly hear their song come on and discover they have apparently been preparing for this moment their entire life.

And honestly?

We love that for you.

Come close out the weekend with us at Toad Lake Store.

08/22/2026

SATURDAY HAS ARRIVED.

Summer is going to start winding down before we know it...

But let's not talk about that yet.

We still have plenty of lake time, sunshine, boat rides, bonfires, and questionable decisions in the name of "enjoying summer" left to get through.

So put the chores on pause.

The laundry will still be there tomorrow.

The lawn isn't going anywhere.

And that project you've been putting off? It's probably been waiting long enough.

The right way to spend a summer Saturday is taking a break and joining us at Toad Lake Store.

PRIME RIB NIGHT
5–9 PM

Come hungry, grab a cold drink, and let someone else worry about dinner tonight.
But don't forget to make those reservations!

Social Media Manager Commentary:

Summer is short.

Your to do list is not.

Choose wisely.
