What else should you know in Menomonee Falls this week?

Thursday concerts return: Accompany of Kids performs at 6:30 p.m. Thursday in Village Park as part of the summer concert series. Hot sandwiches and cold drinks are available, or bring your own.

State Fair starts Thursday: Cream puffs, racing pigs and food-on-a-stick make their annual appearance in West Allis as the Wisconsin State Fair gets under way on Thursday and runs through Aug. 11.  And if you pay full price for admission, you're just as dumb as a chicken because there are discounts just about every day. You'll find everything you need to know on the fair's website.

Summer returns: And just in time for the fair, the area weather is going to seem a lot more summer-like starting Thursday, according to the forecast from Patch's media partners at WISN 12 News. On Monday and Tuesday, the temps will be in the mid-70s before getting to the high 70s or low 80s on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. There is a chance of showers every day except Monday and Thursday.
