Addiction rocks the St. Croix Casino in Turtle Lake, WI – Oct 2.
Milwaukee’s Addiction had a great trip up to the St. Croix Casino Turtle Lake in Turtle Lake, WI on Sat Oct 2nd! It was Addiction’s first time there, but our 2 band brothers that pull double duty with Foreigner 4 Ever have been there before and must’ve spread the good word as the standing room only crowd got there early and rocked with us for well over 2 hours of all their favorite 80’s rock n hair metal! We drove, we ate and drank well, we jammed, we gambled, and drank well again, we slept and then drove once more. What an awesome time! A huge thank you goes out to Donald Fagan & National Premier Talent LLC for keeping this show put together despite numerous rescheduling challenges. Also, thank you to the St. Croix Casino Turtle Lake staff and management! Everyone, and I mean everyone, was super friendly and helpful! The dinner and hotel rooms were excellent! Thank you also to the stage manager & sound & light guy, Steve, for putting up with us all night lol! Looked like we made a ton of new fans up north and we’re really looking forward to heading back up there again sometime soon!
