Water House Foods Cafe & Bakehouse located at 110 East Lake Street, Lake Mills, Wisconsin will host another Open Mic Night.
This August will be still be an open forum & workshop for poets, songmakers, and writers of all ages, styles, and levels, but we will have a featured group performing: Insight. Emily and Emma met in church in 1999, when Emma was three and Emily was two. From there, their friendship began, and life progressed. It was when they were six they started to perform in community theater, and music became an important role in their life. Emily continued in musical theater, and when Emma turned ten she started playing guitar. Ever since Emma was a young child she was inspired by the sweet melody of her dad’s acoustic guitar, and hoped that only one day she could be just like him. Emily has been singing since she was three and has enjoyed performing arts for as long as she can remember. As far as Insight goes, it all started on Emma’s twelfth birthday when she received her first acoustic guitar. From there Emma started to write her own music, and was inspired to start a duet with her best friend Emily. When Insight first began, the only song Emma knew how to play on her guitar was Knocking On Heavens Door, by Bob Dylan. This song became Insight’s first debut piece. Currently at ages 13 and 12, Insight has blossomed in the last six months as the duet started performing publicly.
Friday August 7, 5-7pm (free).

Where else but small town America could you have a pie contest? Not a “who can eat the most pie” contest – but the kind of contest that lets the youngest baker and the most most experienced adult show their talents on a warm summer evening before a crowd of supportive and hungry onlookers? Berry pies and custard pies and pot pies – they were all there. Several tables groaning with the weight of lucious baked pies. After the judges (they had the best job in the world that evening!) were done with tiny taste samples of each pie, cagetory winners were announced, as were the grand prizes. Ribbons were bestowed – and then the best part for most of the attendees – bidding on those awesome pies began! Heated bidding by proud parents and hungry townspeople and cherry-obsessed pie lovers.
Where else but a small town indeed???
Gino Salamone, a Milwaukee DJ, was in attendance that night in the summer of 2008. Although he grew up and still resides in Milwaukee, he loves Lake Mills and tries to attend our events here when possible. He left that night with about a half-dozen pies. His radio co-workers happily ate pie on air the next day.
Can’t wait for the second annual pie contest this summer!!
