I’ll be honest: I don’t follow baseball. I couldn’t tell you who’s leading the league or what a WHIP is. But after attending a Beloit Sky Carp game, I can confidently say that you don’t need to be a baseball fanatic to have an absolute blast at ABC Supply Stadium.The Beloit Sky Carp, formerly known as the Beloit Snappers, have been a staple in minor league baseball since 1982. Originally affiliated with the Milwaukee Brewers, the team underwent several changes over the years, including affiliations with the Minnesota Twins and Oakland Athletics, before partnering with the Miami Marlins in 2021. In 2022, embracing a fresh identity, they rebranded as the Sky Carp—a nod to geese that choose not to migrate, symbolizing the team's commitment to staying rooted in Beloit .ABC Supply Stadium, the team's home since 2021, is a game-changer. Built with the community in mind, it offers a 360-degree concourse, comfortable seating, and a design that pays homage to Beloit's industrial heritage . It's not just a place to watch baseball; it's a venue that enhances the entire experienceOne of the standout features is Poopsie’s Play Zone—a dedicated area where kids can enjoy games and activities while adults soak in the game. Watching the kids race Poopsie, the team's mascot, at the end of the game is a delight—full of laughter, cheers, and the kind of moments that make lasting memories.The Sky Carp know how to keep things exciting. From post-game fireworks to themed nights and special promotions, there's always something happening. These events add an extra layer of entertainment, ensuring that every visit offers something new . The stadium doesn't skimp on refreshments. With a variety of food options and a selection of local beers, it's easy to find something to satisfy your cravings. Whether you're in the mood for classic ballpark fare or something a bit more gourmet, they've got you covered.Even if you're not a baseball enthusiast, a Sky Carp game offers an experience that's hard to beat. It's a blend of community spirit, entertainment, and relaxation. Whether you're looking for a fun family outing, a unique date night, or just a new way to enjoy an evening, this is the place to be.So, if you're in or around Beloit, do yourself a favor: check out the Sky Carp's schedule and plan a visit. You might just find yourself becoming a regular.https://www.milb.com/beloit/schedule

Here’s something beautiful happening in Beloit for Earth Day that I wanted to share—because it’s more than just an event, it’s a celebration of learning, community, and the planet we all call home.On Saturday, April 26th, from 1 to 2pm, the Beloit Public Library is hosting a special Earth Day Celebration & Community Festival. It’s part of a bigger movement called Badgerland Learning Days, which brings together organizations from all over Rock County to create hands-on, joyful learning experiences for families.This isn’t just your average Earth Day event. It's a drop-in style afternoon filled with creativity, discovery, and connection. Families can explore interactive booths, meet local organizations doing good work, and get a taste of everything from gardening and science to art, storytelling, and even cuddles from therapy dogs. And just before the festival officially kicks off, from 12 to 1:30pm, complimentary food will be served—thanks to the generous support of Dwelling Angels.What I love most about this event is how it blends fun with purpose. It reminds us that learning doesn’t have to feel like school—it can be music, crafts, nature walks, or simply hearing a story about why the Earth matters. And when communities come together like this to create space for kids and families to explore, ask questions, and get inspired, that’s something worth celebrating.If you're free that day, it's absolutely worth stopping by—even just for a little bit. It's free, it’s local, and it’s full of heart. And if you’re curious about other events happening this week as part of Badgerland Learning Days, there are over 120 free and low-cost opportunities across the region. You can check out the full lineup at www.remakelearningdays.org/badgerland.Hope to see some of you out enjoying the sunshine and all the creative ways our community is coming together to celebrate Earth Day this year. 💚🌎

This past Saturday, Beloit Memorial High School had the incredible honor of welcoming back one of its own—Jim Caldwell, a Stateline native who has built an impressive career in the NFL. Caldwell, who once roamed the halls of Beloit Memorial as a standout athlete, returned home to share his experiences, wisdom, and love for the community that shaped him.The event, titled One-On-One: A Conversation with Coach Jim Caldwell, was hosted at Beloit Memorial and presented by the Jim and Cheryl Caldwell Foundation. It was a special opportunity for attendees to hear directly from Caldwell about his journey from a high school athlete in Beloit to an NFL coach with multiple Super Bowl rings.Caldwell’s resume speaks for itself—he’s been a head coach for both the Detroit Lions and Indianapolis Colts and has held key coaching roles with several other teams. He’s currently serving as a senior assistant for the Carolina Panthers, continuing his legacy of leadership and excellence in the league.During his time at Beloit Memorial, Caldwell made his mark as a talented defensive back and kick returner for the school’s undefeated 1972 football team. He also played a crucial role as a guard on the 1973 state championship basketball team. His achievements as a student-athlete were just the beginning of a career that would take him to the highest levels of professional football.At the event, Caldwell took the stage in the school’s theater, answering questions from a host before speaking directly to the audience. His message was one of perseverance, hard work, and the importance of giving back to the community.A huge thank you to Beloit Memorial High School and the School District of Beloit for helping make this event possible. Supporting free, positive news and celebrating local success stories like Caldwell’s is what keeps our community strong!

There’s nothing quite like biting into a perfectly cooked burger, especially when you’re craving something juicy, flavorful, and downright delicious. The other day, I stopped by Lucy’s #7 in historic downtown Beloit to see what all the hype was about with their new smash burgers. Spoiler alert: I was not disappointed!Now, if you’ve been to Lucy’s before, you probably remember their stuffed burgers—thick patties filled with melted cheese and other tasty surprises. They were good, no doubt. But for me? The smash burgers take the crown.I went with the mac and cheese smash burger, and let me tell you—it was massive! Two smashed beef patties stacked on a fresh roll, loaded with creamy mac and cheese, and served with a pickle spear and a side of pub fries. The burger was juicy, steaming hot, and packed with flavor. Every bite had that crispy edge from the smashed patties, which added a nice texture contrast to the gooey mac and cheese.Speaking of the fries—wow. Perfectly cooked with a crispy, crunchy exterior and soft, fluffy inside. I know some people might judge me for this, but I like my fries with a splash of vinegar. Trust me, it’s a game-changer.To wash it all down, I ordered a Ninja Dust IPA from One Barrel Brewing Co. It’s a fruity, juicy IPA that paired perfectly with the burger. Refreshing, hoppy, and smooth—it hit the spot.And I can’t forget to mention the service. My server (I wish I caught her name—shorter, brown hair, super friendly) was attentive and checked in throughout the meal to make sure everything was just right. You can tell the staff at Lucy’s #7 takes pride in delivering a great experience.Price-wise, the burgers are pretty reasonable, especially considering the portion size and quality. Most range from $12 to $15, and that includes a side of fries. Overall, it’s a solid deal for a hearty meal.So, where do you stand in the burger debate—smash burgers or stuffed burgers? Personally, the crispy edges, juicy patties, and bold flavors of the smash burgers won me over. But hey, no judgment if you’re still team stuffed burger!If you haven’t tried Lucy’s #7 smash burgers yet, do yourself a favor and head to downtown Beloit. Trust me, your taste buds will thank you.
