Megan Thee Stallion takes break from touring hiatus for fiery Summerfest performance
While Megan Thee Stallion is taking a deserved break from touring, the world is being deprived of a hot girl summer at a time when we arguably need one more than ever — well, with one exception. The Grammy-winning rapper, 30, headlined Summerfest in Milwaukee on Saturday, June 28. The special one-off appearance at the American Family Insurance Amphitheater was Megan's first performance since Coachella in April and her only scheduled concert of the summer. So, she really made it count. Coming out on stage surrounded by eight backing dancers, all of them sporting black cowboy hats, boots and skimpy get-ups seemingly on loan from Beyoncé, Stallion raced right into "Ungrateful," which was followed by "Thot (expletive)," "Wanna Be" and "Freak Nasty." Megan Thee Stallion enters the villa: Rapper appears on 'Love Island USA' By the time "Savage" made the Hotties feral, 15 minutes had passed, with barely any moments for Stallion and her hard-working dancers to catch their breath. The superstar impressively stayed in lock step for much of the demanding choreography — hair flips, body squats, arm waves, hip thrusts, butt shakes — and somehow found the breath to rap on top of all of that, delivering withering one-liners and chest-puffing slogans with force and fire, rarely leaning on the prerecorded backing vocals that served as an unnecessary safety net. Then, after perhaps just 60 to 90 seconds offstage, Stallion was back at it again for the hard-rock studded "TYG," a collaboration with Spiritbox, offering up moves that were even more demanding, and impressive, than what she offered for that jaw-dropping opener — including a lightning-fast drop into the splits. One fan tossed a bra onstage in gratitude, leaving Stallion laughing so hard she struggled to get back into the bars. (At that moment, the prerecorded vocals actually did come in handy.) Megan Thee Stallion on Tory Lanez: Rapper calls singer a 'demon,' slams his fans for harassment Just a couple of songs later, Stallion showed she didn't completely need those backing dancers to put on a show. She offered up the Billboard Hot 100 chart-topper (and alleged Nicki Minaj diss track) "Hiss," from her latest album "Megan," without any choreography, letting the bite from her flow steal the show. That same dynamic delivery commanded the stage a few moments later for "Plan B," with three words of advice speaking to Stallion's resonance amid all the bravado and biting put-downs: "Ladies, love yourself." Forty minutes after taking the stage, her body glistening with sweat, Stallion took a much-deserved extended break. But this also turned out to be one of the most fun moments of the show, as Stallion paced around and picked fans to join her onstage, assembling about a dozen mega-Megan fans who got down (literally, for a few of them) and twerked to "Bourbon." After that, Stallion still wasn't done. She then looked out over the pit again and invited about two dozen fans to join her onstage and dance to "Best Friend." And for all of this, Stallion gleefully accepted hugs, posed for selfies, signed autographs and even complimented one fan's cologne while wishing them a happy birthday. But there was more show to do. The set climaxed with one of Stallion's biggest smashes, "Body," her DJ doubling down on the drama by playing the inescapable earworm hook "Body, -ody, -ody, -ody, -ody, -ody, -ody" initially without the beat, ratcheting up the tension until a bass drop offered sweet relief. After a crowd-thrilling "Big Ole Freak" and one more complex choreographed routine for "Mamushi," her collab with Japanese rapper Yuki Chiba, Stallion said so long to a stage for the foreseeable future. The set clocked in at just 75 minutes. 10 bingeable memoirs to check out: Celebrities tell all about aging, marriage and Beyoncé Megan's opening act, fellow rapper Flo Milli, canceled just a few hours before showtime due to weather-related travel issues. But thanks to Stallion's unstoppable, sweat-dripping showmanship, this will go down as one of the buzziest shows of Summerfest 2025. Hot girl summer, delivered.

FORGET 250-JOHNSONVILLE WENT FULL SEND ON AMERICA'S 249TH BIRTHDAY WITH SAUSAGE, STAND-UP & A SKY-HIGH CELEBRATION
Fortune Feimster Brought the Laughs as Johnsonville Delivered the World's First Sausage Drone Show and a Coast-to-Coast, Summer-Long Birthday Bash for the Books All Assets, Including Footage and Photos of Feimster's Comedy Performance Accompanied by America's First-Ever Sausage Drone Show, HERE. SHEBOYGAN FALLS, Wis., July 5, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Johnsonville took center stage this Fourth of July with a celebration as unforgettable as it was unexpected—throwing one of the most delightfully unhinged birthday bashes in American history to mark the nation's 249th. Refusing to wait for the big 250, Johnsonville went all in on fun and togetherness. Comedian and national treasure Fortune Feimster lit up Summerfest presented by American Family Insurance. Bringing her signature relentlessly positive humor and infectious energy, Feimster delivered a comedic riff on the country's 'fun deficit,' as Johnsonville pulled out all the stops: karaoke booths, sausage cannons, a towering three-tiered cake, a Guinness World Record, coast-to-coast block parties with first responders, and the world's first-ever sausage drone show. The grand finale? A festival-wide singalong of 'Happy Birthday' led by Feimster herself—capping off a celebration that proved one thing: when it comes to bringing people together, nobody throws a party like Johnsonville. The Summerfest celebration was the focal point of Johnsonville's campaign to get the party started for America's 249th birthday in a major way. The campaign was built around Johnsonville's National Temperature Check survey, conducted by the Harris Poll, that found that nine-in-ten Americans agree we make more progress when we have fun together. That same survey revealed that Americans feel disconnected, and fun is taking a hit. 'I'm in the business of laughter because it's the fastest way to bring people together. And we are overdue for some togetherness,' said Feimster. 'Johnsonville understood the assignment: good food, big laughs and sausage drones. That's how connection happens. Let's hold on to that energy and keep the party going.' In May, while the White House was launching its countdown to 250, Johnsonville announced it wasn't waiting to celebrate, launching its massive Party Starter—an 80-pound, 249-link sausage pack complete with a collapsible hand cart. Fans could nominate the ultimate 'party starter' in their life to receive one just in time for July 4th. More than 20,000 people, from block party organizers and nonprofit leaders to everyday backyard hosts, entered to win, sharing stories about people who inspire them to connect with others. Johnsonville also hosted pop-up cookouts in Chicago and New York to celebrate first responders alongside national grilling experts and bestselling authors, The Grill Dads. 'We couldn't wait for 250—America's running low on fun, and the data backs it up,' said Jamie Schmelzer, Vice President of Marketing at Johnsonville. 'So for 249, we went big, weird, and joyful. Whether it was an 80-pound box of sausage, a thousand-person sing-a-long, or a cookout with local heroes, our goal was to spark real connection across the country. Huge thanks to Fortune Feimster for helping us lead the charge—because fun isn't just nice to have right now, it's how we move forward.' Johnsonville partnered with Milwaukee-based agency Hold Fast to bring the 249 vision to life, and with Sky Elements Drones, the largest drone light show provider in the US, to bring its patriotic, sausage-themed drone formations to the Summerfest sky. The brand's July 4 show is part of Sky Elements' attempt to set the Guinness World Record for 'Most Drone Shows in 24 Hours Performed by Different Pilots.' In total, the production company operated 25 drone shows across the country on July 4, nine of which were flown in one hour. The record attempt is awaiting review by the adjudicator.

Fisher, Wanda L. 1937-2025 St. Joseph, Mo.
Wanda Louise Zimmerman (Dredge) Fisher, 87, of St. Joseph, passed away peacefully on Monday, June 9, 2025, at the home she cherished, surrounded by her loving family. Wanda was warm, funny, and engaging – the kind of woman who never let you leave her home hungry, always had time for a story, and somehow made you feel like you belonged the moment you walked through her door. She was born on June 14, 1937, in Maryville, Missouri, to the late Leonard and LaThella (Dredge) Zimmerman. A proud graduate of Horace Mann High School's class of 1955, she later attended Platt Business College after moving to St. Joseph. Wanda retired from American Family Insurance after 22 years of loyal service. Before that, she worked as a school bus driver and broke new ground as St. Joseph's very first female bread delivery driver in the 1970's. Wanda married the love of her life, Orlan Gene Fisher, on Sept. 24, 1956. They shared 56 wonderful years together, raising five children and dancing their way through life at country dances across northwest Missouri, until Gene's passing in 2013. A faithful member of Calvary Chapel St. Joseph, Wanda and Gene also opened their home for Bible studies over the years – sharing not just scripture, but laughter, pie, and the kind of fellowship that sticks with you. She and Gene were involved with the Missouri Beekeepers Association and kept many apiaries. Wanda was a talented soap and candle maker, a passionate fisherwoman who could outfish anyone, and an avid tomato grower who loved her garden nearly as much as her kitchen. In the kitchen, the heart of her home, Wanda was famous for her fried chicken, red velvet cake, and homemade pies, but even more so for her open invitation: anyone was welcome to sit at her table, sip coffee, and enjoy a cookie or two (or three). If you came to visit, you could expect a full plate, a warm smile, and a story worth hearing. Wanda never met a stranger and was dearly loved by all who knew her. Quick-witted and endlessly kind, she had the rare gift of making everyone feel like family. She is survived by her children, Brenda Polachek (Chris), Michael Fisher, Gregory Fisher (Betty Ann), Brett Fisher, and Gina Fisher; her sister, Evelyn Knowler (Gary); grandchildren Shawn, Steven, Sarah, Florella, Fallyn, Aubrey, Brian, Tyler, Gregory, Daniel, Juliana, Walter, and Franklin; and numerous great-grandchildren, nieces, nephews, and extended family. In addition to her beloved husband and parents, Wanda was preceded in death by her sister, Patricia Owen, and her brother, Bernard Zimmerman. A combined celebration of Wanda's life and what would have been her 88th birthday will be held on Saturday, June 14, 2025, at 1 p.m. at Heaton-Bowman-Smith & Sidenfaden Chapel. She will be laid to rest at Memorial Park Cemetery. Visitation will begin at noon Friday at the chapel, with family receiving friends from 5 to 7 p.m. that evening. In honor of Wanda's fierce and abiding love for all children, the family requests memorial donations be made in Wanda's name to The Noyes Home for Children. Her hands are at rest, but her legacy lives on in every garden row, handwritten recipe, and steaming cup of coffee shared around a well-loved table. As published in the St. Joseph News-Press.
