ALLEN BROTHERS
12/31, Arrow Sports Lounge
Substyle was on track to play the 400 Block before the pandemic struck — they were a growing working band but COVID put the brakes on that, causing the band to split for a while. Now they’re back, and will make for a nice way to spend New Year’s Eve. Come check out the soul/pop/R&B band as they take on Arrow Sports Lounge starting at 10 pm. (Also, you can check out guitarist Harold Melo’s other band, Short Pay Riders, the night before, Dec. 30, at 8 pm at Ciao’s. Short Pay Riders, the vehicle for local musician John Pearson, put out a full-length album this year.)
Noon Year’s Celebration 1/1, Greater Wausau Children’s Museum
1/1 Clay Corner Studio, Wausau
12/31, Hiawatha Lounge
Hiawatha Lounge will host its Glitz and Glam New Year’s Eve Celebration with band Fennec Fox. The event will kick off at 5 pm with a good old Wisconsin fish fry among other offerings; and dress up for a night of glam with local band Fennec Fox. You gotta love an indie band that combines a fiddle and harmonica - it should prove to be a fun evening. Music at 10 pm.
Blaine Howard 1/1, Granite Peak, Sundance Chalet
If you’d prefer to head out on Saturday night instead to avoid the crowds a little, Granite Peak’s got ya covered. Check out Blaine Howard at ‘The Peak 5 pm in their Sundance Chalet. Howard rocks a blend of folk, pop and Americana and has shared the stage with Grammy winners such as Nickel Creek, so you’re in for a treat. You could spend the afternoon skiing, then warm up with a little music afterward. The fireplace and adult beverages will feel nice after a day out in the cold.

The great thing about kids is that they’re a great excuse to stay in. So you can stay in New Year’s Eve, and then bring the kiddos to the Greater Wausau Children’s Museum at noon New Year’s Day for their “Noon Year’s Celebration.” There’s a big balloon drop at noon (much easier to stay up for!) and punch, cookies and crafts to keep the little ones occupied. $5 per child, adults, members and children under 12 free. Starts 10 am. (Note, they used to be in the mall, they’re in Rothschild now, 10101 Market Street Suite D70.)
13th Annual Pajama Party
Glitz and Glam New Year’s Eve Celebration
New Year’s doesn’t have to be all about champagne and midnight cheering and adult beverages. For a more family-friendly celebration, Clay Corner Studio is hosting the 13th version of its pajama party. Come draped in your best family-friendly pajamas, paint some pottery (10% off ) and enjoy some free cookies and donuts. Clay Corner’s event presents an opportunity to enjoy some holiday family time with the kiddos and create a memory together. And there is far less hangover. (Plus, Clay Corner serves Collectivo Coffee — something to keep in mind.) 9 am to 8 pm.
Allen Brothers 12/31, Malarkey’s Pub
Founder Bob Allen has been a musician his entire adult life, and has founded numerous bands. He also for a time played with Brad Emanuel, a mainstay in the Wausau area, and credits a lot of what he learned about showmanship from playing with Emanuel. Allen, with his brother Brandon — a phenom on the drums — and the deep pocket tones of Wade Kaiser on bass, the Allen Brothers can rock the house with a variety of cover songs from the 60s to the present. Malarkey’s rarely has cover bands but The Allen Brothers have been an exception to that. Come find out why. 10 pm.

Drawbacks of Using Life Estates Although there are benefits of life estates, there are also potential drawbacks that you should consider. A life estate is a joint interest in property. You can not sell the property without the other owner’s consent and you can’t change the remainder beneficiary. The remainder interest isn’t protected from the remainder beneficiaries’ creditors. A person’s remainder interest could be seized to satisfy their debts from a lawsuit, a bankruptcy, or a messy divorce. In Wisconsin, life estates created on or after August 1, 2014, are subject to Medicaid estate recovery. The state could try to recover the value of the life estate by placing a lien on the property, or by other efforts. Life estates can accomplish certain estate planning goals, but they are not the right tool for all situations. Call to schedule an appointment to discuss which tools are right for your situation.
