It's not every day here in the Midwest that you're standing in your front yard, and a country music superstar stops by.

That's exactly what happened for three boys manning their lemonade stand over the weekend, and they didn't realize what was happening...at first.  If this can happen in Cleveland, Wisconsin, maybe it could happen in St. Cloud, Minnesota!

COUNTRY MUSIC SUPERSTAR LUKE COMBS BEING LUKE COMBS

Country music superstar Luke Combs performed two shows at Lambeau Field this past weekend. The shows took place on Friday and Saturday, and like most performers, Luke was looking to have a little bit of downtime in between his shows.

So...he went golfing at Whistling Straits. Afterwards, I'm assuming he worked up quite a thirst, and just happened to drive by a lemonade stand with three boys standing behind the bright yellow and white striped booth.

WHO IS THIS GUY?

William Dahlem, one of the three boys, said, "He asked us what our favorite drink was and we told him Bubblr, so he ordered four Bubblrs." The boy went on to say that Luke gave them $120 for the drinks and a tip.

The boys didn't exactly know who this man was. They thought that, since he was wearing golfing clothes, he was perhaps a famous golfer.

I'm not sure how they finally figured out it was Luke Combs, but once they realized who he was, they were very excited.

The boys, Finley Uttech, age 10, and brothers William and Luke Dahlem, ages 9 and 11, were working their lemonade stand for the 5th year in a row during a village-wide garage sale weekend.

MOM FIGURES OUT THE MYSTERY

Finley's mom Alissa said they could see what was happening at the lemonade stand, but didn't know who was there. But then a person started taking pictures, so they took a closer look.

They didn't know until Monday that the visitor was Luke Combs. Luke posted a bunch of photos on his Instagram from the weekend he spent in Wisconsin, and Alissa follows Luke on social media.

SCROLLING THROUGH SOCIAL MEDIA

She was scrolling through the photos from the weekend, and much to her surprise, there was a photo of Luke with the boys at their lemonade stand.

Without Luke in his signature black shirt and ball cap, the boys didn't recognize him, but they ARE fans of his music.

Everyone else who was a the garage sale saw the man approach the boys, but just waved at the mystery man, as Luke waved back.

A MISSED OPPORTUNITY FOR SOME

They all missed their opportunity to meet Luke, but Alissa said, "This is even better, because just the fact that he was so sweet to our boys and that he did that makes it so much better than actually meeting him myself. I think it’s so cute that he stopped, because he has three boys.”

Sounds like Luke Combs was being Luke Combs...a good guy, doing a good deed in the world, and just being a regular dad who appreciates what these three young boys were doing.
