From their website (https://madtownmannishboys.com/):

    The Madtown Mannish Boys are a Madison-based Blues band who are steeped in Chicago-style Blues, including artists like Muddy Waters, Junior Wells, Otis Spann, Paul Butterfield, and Little Walter. They perform with raw exuberance and driving rhythms that make you want to boogie. Some of their tunes are harmonica-driven, played with gritty fervor and intense energy. Others are soulful ballads, heavily influenced by the likes of Otis Redding and Sam Cooke. This mix of styles and genres makes for an entertaining and dynamic show that you won’t want to miss.

YouTube video of The Madtown Mannish Boys - Get out of My Life, Woman @ the South Milwaukee Downtown "Music at the Market" (2021). You can find more videos of their music ;https://madtownmannishboys.com/?page_id=19|on their website].

The concerts are from 6:30 pm until 8:30 pm.

The current weather forecast for Friday night's concert doesn't look good, but we have our fingers crossed that the rainstorms will blow through and be over, before our event.

A decision will be made, about relocating or not, before the start of the concert. If the weather does not cooperate, then the concert will be moved indoors, a little ways down Segoe Road, to the Covenant Presbyterian Church, 326 S Segoe Road. Check the website home page for any updates (https://www.MidvaleHeights.org).

The three food trucks we had at last Friday's concert, Thailand in a Truck, Monsoon Siam, and Smoked B'bque, are expected for this concert also. And the last time the weather made the concert move to the church, the food trucks moved with us, and set up under an awning at the church, so you could make your purchases without getting wet.

We suggest that the food trucks be ready to starting serving around 5:45 pm.

Come and have a great time at our  Summer Nights at Segoe  concert!

It sounds like there may be a problem getting the Summer Nights at Segoe sign set up at the park, before tonight's concert, but the concert will go on.

Start cleaning out those closets—the Midvale Heights Community Association (MHCA) annual garage sale is weeks away. Official dates and times for this year’s sale are Friday, September 1, and Saturday, September 2, from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m.

Participants can choose to hold their sale on one or both days and set their own hours.

Registration this year is just $5.

More than 20 Midvale Heights neighbors usually participate in the sale. There is strength in numbers: the more homes participating, the bigger the crowds shopping the sales!

The MHCA advertises the sale on Craigslist, NextDoor, and other websites. Participants are encouraged to also advertise for added visibility.

A feature of the sale is an online map on the MHCA website (www.midvaleheights.org) that buyers can download to guide them through the sale. The $5.00 registration fee covers advertising, neighborhood signs, and maps for participants to distribute to sale shoppers. A packet containing sale guidelines, a sign designating participants, and maps for shoppers.

Michelle Kempf-Weibel and John Weibel are chairs of the garage sale and can be reached at mhcagaragesales at midvaleheights.org with questions.

Forms are due back to Michelle and John by August 18 in order to be included in the online map.

Marcel Wuethrich is giving a tour of the prairie restoration site next to the parking lot of the Odana Hills Golf Course on Saturday July 22 at 6pm.

The restoration was started in 2017 with the seeding of 50+ native plant species to foster habitat and nectar for pollinators. July is the
peak of the blooming time for native flowers so you can expect to see lots of pollinators including many species of butterflies, native bees,
bumblebees, dragonflies and a few species of nesting birds. The Midvale Heights Community Association continues to support the
maintenance of this 1.5 acres gem in the neighborhood.
