06/17/2026

It’s Wednesday, which means we’ve officially reached the point in the week where nobody knows what day it is anymore.

Some of you thought it was Thursday.
Some of you are still mentally on Monday.

Either way, we’ve got dinner covered.

🍔 Burger Night & Meat Raffle 🍔
🥩 5–9 PM 🥩

Nothing brings a community together quite like burgers, cold drinks, and the chance to win a package of meat you’ll brag about for the next three days.

Social media manager commentary:
There is always one person at the meat raffle who wins twice and suddenly acts like they’ve been personally blessed by the raffle gods.

And there is always someone who says, “Just one more round,” about six rounds in.

Come spend your Wednesday night at Toad Lake Store. Your leftovers at home will still be there tomorrow.

06/16/2026

Tuesday has arrived, carrying all the excitement of a waiting room and none of the benefits of it being Friday.

The weekend feels a million miles away, the coffee is barely keeping up, and productivity is questionable at best.

Thankfully, today’s lunch special is exactly the kind of comfort food we all need.

Fish filet with fries

This is the type of meal that makes you forget about your inbox and every poor decision you made over the weekend.

If your lunch plan currently involves a bag of chips and a soda, we’d like to respectfully suggest doing better.

Come grab a real meal at Toad Lake Store. We promise Tuesday will seem a little less rude afterward.

🚨 SUNDAY NEWSROOM SERMON 🚨

And on the seventh day, people rested… sort of.

Some rested properly.
Some “rested” while doing laundry, yard work, and convincing themselves Monday isn’t real yet.

But all roads lead to the same place this evening.

🎤 KARAOKE SERVICE BEGINS 🎤
7 PM

Welcome, congregation.

Please rise (or remain seated, no judgment) as we gather for tonight’s sacred tradition of loud confidence and questionable key choices.

Let us sing.

Let us forget the lyrics halfway through and power through anyway.

Let us support those who absolutely did not pick the right song for their vocal range but committed fully regardless.

FIELD CORRESPONDENT AMEN:

There is always at least one person who says “I’m just watching tonight” and ends up delivering a full solo performance before the night is over.

SOCIAL MEDIA MANAGER COMMENTARY:

If you’ve ever said “I don’t sing,” we invite you to sit quietly in the back row… until you don’t.

FINAL NOTE FROM THE BULLETIN:

Sunday is for gathering.
Sunday is for music.
Sunday is for questionable life choices with supportive lighting.

06/13/2026

🚨 SATURDAY PRIORITY CHECK 🚨

The newsroom would like to know how your Saturday is going.

Are you getting things done?

Or are you finding increasingly creative ways to avoid getting things done?

Either answer is acceptable.

The games are on the TVs today, which means sports fans will once again spend several hours confidently explaining what every coach, player, referee, and umpire should have done differently.

A tradition unlike any other.

FIELD CORRESPONDENT UPDATE:

The phrase "I'm just going to watch a little bit of the game" continues to have one of the lowest success rates in recorded history.

🥩 PRIME RIB NIGHT 🥩

5–9 PM

And now for the portion of the announcement that repeats itself every Saturday because apparently it needs to:

MAKE.
THOSE.
RESERVATIONS.

Every week there are people who think, "Nah, I'll be fine."

And every week those same people learn valuable life lessons.

SOCIAL MEDIA MANAGER COMMENTARY:

Some people plan ahead. Some people gamble. Reserving your prime rib is a lot less stressful than hoping the universe rewards poor planning.

FINAL NOTE FROM EDITORIAL:

Watch the game.
Enjoy the weekend.
And let someone else handle dinner tonight.

06/12/2026

🚨 FRIDAY HAS ENTERED THE CHAT 🚨

The newsroom would like to report that the weekend is officially within reach.

Emails are being ignored.
Productivity is declining.
And people are already making plans that start with "we'll just stop in for a little while."

Sure you will.

🌮 LUNCH SPECIAL 🌮

Chicken or Beef Fajita Salad
Because apparently one taco-related meal on Friday isn't enough.

Then tonight...

🌮 TACO FRIDAY 🌮

The tradition.
The legend.
The reason some of you know exactly what day of the week it is.

🎶 LIVE MUSIC 🎶

Tyler Steinle
7–10 PM

So if your Friday plans currently consist of mowing the lawn and falling asleep in a recliner, we have a better offer.

FIELD CORRESPONDENT UPDATE:

The combination of tacos, live music, and a Friday night has been known to cause people to stay significantly longer than originally planned.

SOCIAL MEDIA MANAGER COMMENTARY:

Friday is basically just Saturday's opening act. You might as well get a head start.

FINAL NOTE FROM EDITORIAL:

Fajitas for lunch.
Tacos for dinner.
Live music all evening.

Some days practically plan themselves.

06/11/2026

🚨 THURSDAY DEVELOPMENTS 🚨

The newsroom would like to announce that Thursday has officially become everyone's favorite lunch day.

Why?

Because we have introduced a little thing called...

🔥 SMOKED RIB THURSDAYS 🔥

That's right.

Smoked ribs are now our permanent Thursday lunch special.
The side dish will change each week, but the ribs will remain. As nature intended.

FIELD CORRESPONDENT UPDATE:

Productivity is expected to decline significantly once people start thinking about smoked ribs before 10 AM.

Then tonight...

🎶 MUSIC BINGO 🎶

Starts at 7 PM

8 free rounds.
Prizes every round.
A room full of people who swear they're "not competitive" until someone else wins.

SOCIAL MEDIA MANAGER COMMENTARY:

Music Bingo has become a lot like quicksand.

People stop in to "see what it's about" and next thing you know they're regulars who have opinions about strategy.

FINAL NOTE FROM EDITORIAL:

Ribs for lunch.
Music Bingo tonight.

Thursday is doing a lot of heavy lifting this week.

06/10/2026

🚨 WEDNESDAY MIDWEEK REPORT 🚨

The newsroom would like to congratulate everyone for making it to Wednesday.

Not quite the weekend.
No longer Monday.

It's a weird little spot on the calendar, but thankfully we know exactly how to handle it.

🍔 BURGER NIGHT 🍔
5–9 PM

Burgers start at just $4.

For only $2.50 more, you can make it a basket.

Some decisions in life are complicated.

This is not one of them.

🥩 MEAT RAFFLE 🥩
Starts at 5 PM

Because nothing says "small-town entertainment" quite like the possibility of going home with enough meat to make your neighbors jealous.

FIELD CORRESPONDENT UPDATE:

Someone will win multiple rounds tonight.
Someone else will loudly claim their tickets were "due."
Neither outcome will change anything.

SOCIAL MEDIA MANAGER COMMENTARY:

There are people who spend hundreds of dollars on entertainment every month and there are people who get genuinely excited over winning bacon, bratwurst, and burger. Frankly, I think the second group has life figured out.

FINAL NOTE FROM EDITORIAL:

Skip cooking.
Try your luck.
And enjoy a proper Wednesday.

06/09/2026

🚨 TUESDAY NEWSROOM ANNOUNCEMENT 🚨

The newsroom has received several important developments that require immediate public attention.

First, Tuesday is still Tuesday.

We checked.

Second, summer is flying by at a concerning rate, and we're all pretending not to notice.

Third, today's lunch special is Club Sandwich with fries or Italian salad.

And fourth...

📣 LUNCH SPECIAL UPDATES HAVE ARRIVED 📣

Starting now:

EVERY THURSDAY
Smoked Ribs

The side will change from week to week because variety is the spice of life and also because eating the exact same thing forever seems a little excessive.

EVERY FRIDAY
Chicken or Beef Fajita salads

That's right. Every Friday.

No more wondering.
No more guessing.
No more emotional distress while waiting for the lunch special announcement on Thursdays and Fridays.

FIELD CORRESPONDENT UPDATE:

Early reports indicate people are already planning their Thursdays and Fridays accordingly.

A completely rational response.

SOCIAL MEDIA MANAGER COMMENTARY:

Some of you have calendars filled with work meetings and appointments.
Others are about to start scheduling life around ribs and fajitas.
Honestly, we understand both approaches.

FINAL NOTE FROM EDITORIAL:

The future is looking delicious.
Plan accordingly.

🚨 BREAKING NEWS FROM THE TOAD LAKE STORE NEWSROOM 🚨

After extensive investigation, multiple snack breaks, and one very distracting frog sighting, we can officially confirm the following completely urgent and absolutely life changing information:

🎶 LIVE MUSIC IS HAPPENING THIS FRIDAY 🎶

📅 Friday, June 12
🕖 7 to 10 PM
🎤 Featuring Tyler Paul Steinle

Yes, that Tyler Paul Steinle. The one with the guitar. And the vibes. And presumably no plans to let you go home early.

Cold drinks will be available for those who enjoy hydration and good decisions. Good times are expected.

Bring your friends, bring your best excuses for staying out late, and bring that energy that says Saturday is not my problem.

06/07/2026

🚨 SUNDAY FUNDAY BULLETIN 🚨

Welcome back to our regularly scheduled Sunday programming.

The weekend is winding down.
The lake toys are being put away.
The "I'll get that done this weekend" list remains suspiciously untouched.

And tomorrow is lurking around the corner whether we like it or not.

🎤 KARAOKE NIGHT 🎤

Starts at 7 PM

That's right, we're back to our normal Sunday karaoke program.

No auditions.
No judges.
No pressure.

Just good music and the confidence that can only come from grabbing a microphone in front of a room full of people.

FIELD CORRESPONDENT UPDATE:

The phrase "I'm not singing tonight" has one of the lowest success rates ever recorded.

SOCIAL MEDIA MANAGER COMMENTARY:

Nothing brings people together quite like watching someone absolutely crush a song... or absolutely massacre one. Either way, everybody wins. And we live for it all.

FINAL NOTE FROM EDITORIAL:

One more night before Monday.

You might as well make it count.

FINAL NOTE FROM SOCIAL MEDIA MANGER

When you see Max tonight...wish him a big Happy Birthday tomorrow! (June 8) Sing happy birthday numerous times and help him celebrate turning another year older!
