Two great tastes that taste great together

Enriching yourself with outdoor activities, live entertainment and grilled summertime food: Great.  Enriching others through charitable work or donations: Even better.  Put the two together and what do you get?  An unbeatable combination that makes it easy to be awesome.  Examples of fun events with a purpose this weekend:

• Enjoy live music from the Erik Kanter Trio, The Red, Black and Blues, Jordan Elder, and the Awakening, during the Concert For Eve, 2:30 to 8 p.m. Saturday, at the Lapham Peak State Park Summer Stage.  Proceeds will help fund a wheelchair accessible van for Eve Karcher, a girl with cerebral palsy.
• Double D's Pub & Eatery in Mukwonago is giving away a free brat or hot dog lunch and offering prizes in a raffle, 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday, to benefit the Mukwonago Food Pantry.
• Bring a nonperishable food item for the Hartland Food Pantry to Out-N-About in Hartland, 5 to 9 p.m. Friday, and enjoy free refreshments, children's activities, local artwork, and a scavenger hunt, throughout downtown Hartland.
• Help young people help others by raising funds for a youth summer servant trip at Galilee Lutheran Church's carnival, barbeque lunch and car wash, 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Sunday.
