Despite the freak snow storm that came as an unwelcome surprise to the T-shirt and shorts clad University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point students who were convinced they could put away their parkas for the winter, spring seems to have finally hit this college town.

Despite the freak snow storm that came as an unwelcome surprise to the T-shirt and shorts clad University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point students who were convinced they could put away their parkas for the winter, spring seems to have finally hit this college town. Even if the weather doesn’t show it, the fact that Rusty’s Backwater Bash is this weekend should be a pretty good indication.

Rusty’s Backwater Bash, sponsored and hosted by Rusty’s Backwater Saloon, has become an event to mark the end of another school year and celebrate the beginning of summer.

This year’s event is on Saturday, May 3, and will feature live music from The Greg Waters Band and Mark Little. As always, there will be a shuttle bus to transport event goers from downtown to Rusty’s so there is no need to drive after a day of indulging on Wisconsin’s favorite beverage.

The cost for this year’s event is $22 for all the beer you can drink and a commemorative Rusty’s Backwater Bash 2008 mug. The bus will start transporting people from the west side of the Blue Cross Blue Shield building on Water Street at 12:15 p.m. The cost for a round trip on the bus is $4.
