2010 | BEST FESTIVAL

All too often, summer music festivals fall into one of two major categories: the kind that takes over sprawling, grassy fields to hawk $8 light beers and host an array of clean-cut, adult-contemporary rock bands, or the kind that takes over city streets to, well, also hawk $8 beers and showcase eclectic lineups of up-and-coming local talent. And while both kinds of gatherings serve their purpose on a hot summer day, one homegrown festival has set itself apart from the rest in both format and... More »
2008 | BEST HORSE TRAINER

Mac Robertson has established himself as the dominant trainer at Canterbury Park, leading the money board for four straight years. In fact, there's no one even in his neighborhood.

Robertson also set the standard for finishing in the money. A whopping 71 percent of his mounts came home in the top three, while more than half took either first or... More »
2001 | BEST PLACE TO LOSE YOUR SHIRT

Go ahead and toss your money down the toilet at one of the state's cheap Sin City knockoffs. Just don't come crying to us when you've blown the Wisconsin Dells family-vacation fund in one debauched weekend because you were too foolish to heed the cardinal rule of casinos: In the end, the house always wins. The poker tables at Canterbury are different--sorta. Though the club takes its cut (up to four bucks per hand), you're not playing against the house; you're facing off against the seven... More »

Junk Bonanza

By Jessica Armbruster | Wed, September 14, 2011

The phrase "juried junk" might sound like an oxymoron, but this is the proper term for what you will find at the sixth annual Junk Bonanza. However, the word "junk" is used very subjectively here, as many of the juried items for sale are pretty aw... More »
