We would never discourage anyone from bringing their family to our event and enjoying a beautiful Wisconsin day, the day before Father's Day. Keep in mind that there will be over 600 people enjoying our fantastic event.

No one under 21 admitted without proper ID or accompanying parent/guardian.

 

Chairs/Seating

We will provide picnic benches, but not enough for all 600+ people to sit. If you feel you need to sit, you are welcome to bring your own lawn chair. There is space in Rotary Park as well as along the edges of the event.

 

What About the Weather?

It's Wisconsin, so the weather can change any minute. We have over 200 feet of tenting to protect you from the sun or any inclement weather. The event goes on rain or shine.

 

Will there be food?

We will offer burgers and other food items for a small price at our food booth. We will also have water, soda and pretzel necklaces available.
