Local
beaches
offer a
boatload of
summer fun
If someone would happen to ask
an area resident, “Which way is the
beach?” the answer provided could
take a while.
With an abundance of lakes – and,
accordingly, beaches – the Geneva
Lakes area boasts a wealth of sun and
sand on summer days.
Whether it’s the large popular
beaches on Geneva Lake – Riviera
or Fontana – or the more secluded
stretches of sand found on Twin Lakes
in Kenosha County or Browns Lake in
Burlington, the choices are many.
The decision is as simple as
matching the summer day with your
mood – Do I want to hang out with
a hundred sun-drenched souls or do
I want to hunker down with a book
under the branches of an oak tree?
Perhaps you’re looking for a lively
game of volleyball or a playground for
the kids. It’s all here and accessible
with a drive of a few minutes.
Here’s your guide to the area’s
beaches:
Lake Geneva
Located in downtown Lake Geneva
at 211 Wrigley Drive, (262) 2483673, is a 600-foot-long sandy beach
that attracts both the local residents
and tourists from the Chicago and
northern Illinois area. Adjacent to the
famous Riviera, it attracts the most
visitors.
On a recent sunny day the beach
was not nearly as crowded as it is on
7
Riviera Beach in Lake
Geneva is among the largest
and most popular in the area.

weekends, but it still had many visitors.
Food is allowed and there are many
restaurants in the immediate area. The
pier out in the lake attracts swimmers who
enjoy swimming out to it and jumping or
diving in to the lake. Groups of teenagers
were playing volleyball in the water
without a net and seemed to be having a
great time.
A lifeguard is on duty from 9 a.m. to 5
p.m. throughout the summer season. While
it is one of the nicest beaches around, it is
also the busiest.
Tickets costing $7 for adults and $4 for
children are purchased from a machine at
the entrance to the park. Pay station street
parking is available although on some days
spaces are difficult to find.
Fontana Beach on
Geneva Lake offers areas
for a variety of activities,
including volleyball.
Big Foot Beach
Big Foot Beach State Park, 1452 Wells
St., Lake Geneva, is a 271-acre park on
the eastern shore of Lake Geneva. There
are many park activities including trails,
a playground, volleyball courts, and a
40-acre picnic area. There is a small
swimming beach on the lakeshore however
no lifeguards are present. Entry is $10
for out of state visitors, free to Wisconsin
residents.
Williams Bay
Williams Bay Beach is on Geneva
Avenue in Williams Bay, (262) 245-2720.
With a clean, sandy beach, Williams Bay
attracts families.
“I enjoy working here because everyone
is so friendly. I meet so many people,” a
lifeguard at the beach said during a recent
visit. “There is a steady flow of visitors
throughout the day.”
Like all of the beaches glass and alcohol
are not allowed. Parking is available
across the street without charge. Entry fee
is $7 for adults and $4 for children.
Fontana
Fontana Beach – 505 Lake St., Fontana,
(262) 275-6136 – is another large beach
that attracts many visitors especially
families. According to the beach’s
manager, the beach is popular because it
has deep sand and a grassy knoll and is
kept scrupulously clean.
On alternate Saturday nights a family
movie is shown on the beach. The screen
is brought in by Big Foot Recreation,
which oversees the showing of the movie.
There is a charge of $1 per person for the
movie.
Food and beverages are allowed but no
grills, glass, or alcohol.
The water has two separate lines of buoys,
one to mark the shallow end up to four-feet
deep and the second section for the deeper
water. Beach officials do not recommend
going past the second line of buoys. Three
or four lifeguards are on duty and one of
the lifeguards is usually on the pier to better
watch those in the deeper water.

Fine, white sand in a park
setting makes Fontana Beach
among the most popular on
Geneva Lake – especially on
a hot day.

Delavan
In the Town of Delavan,
Community Park, 1220 South
Shore Drive, (262) 7402335, has a large playground,
including a volleyball court,
horseshoe pit, and picnic area
but the swimming beach is
small.
The swimming area is
delineated to keep swimmers
from going out of the area
because of underwater weeds.
He said visitors tend to come
late morning or early afternoon.
The beach offers free use of
life jackets. Non-residents are
charged $25 for a seasonal pass
while residents use the beach for
free. Daily rates for visitors are
also available.
The beach at Lance Park in Twin Lakes has
a relatively small strip of sand, but the large
grassy areas provide a place to sit and
watch children in the water.
Twin Lakes
Twin Lakes, as its name
implies, has two lakes – Lake
Elizabeth and Lake Mary – with
several beaches open to the
public. Lance Park Beach along
Main Street on Lake Mary in
the Village of Twin Lakes is
perhaps the most popular. The
beach is small with very little
sand, but it features a collar of
green grass behind it. Several
mothers with children were at
the beach during a recent visit.
No lifeguards are on duty so
swimming is at your own risk.
There is plenty of parking and
no admission fee.
Burlington
Fischer Park on Browns Lake
in Burlington, 30326 Durand
Avenue, (262) 763-8446, features
a wide, sandy beach where
children enjoy playing, and a
grassy area where parents and
grandparents can sit shaded by
some of the large trees that make
it a comfortable place for all.
The park is well maintained.
Lifeguards are on duty from
10 a.m. to 6:30 p.m. each day
during the swimming season.
Picnic tables encourage visitors
to spend the day and enjoy a
picnic lunch.
There is a $1 per person fee
during the swimming season.
While this list is not a
complete list of all the beaches
available in the area, it includes
some of the best and most
popular.
A day in the sunshine filled
with outdoor activity has the
makings of lasting family
memories.
Teamwork makes
building this small lake in the
sand at Williams Bay beach successful. The project with a
small bridge and waterfall requires constant refilling with
pails of water as the water quickly soaks into the sand.

DEDICATED TO THE
Dog’s Life
Pet resort
owner aims
to deliver
top-notch
canine care
by Christopher Bennett
CORRESPONDENT
Kelly Everson is concerned
with fences, and once the reason
is made clear it helps explain why
it’s in her nature to nurture.
Everson, the owner of Cedar
Dale Pet Resort in Genoa City,
recently planted two trees in her
spacious grass playground area.
The reason why is evident on a
steamy Saturday, as dogs run and
13
A trio of dogs is distracted as they
lounge in the shade of a recently
planted tree on Saturday, June 11,
at Cedar Dale Pet Resort in Genoa
City. Owner Kelly Everson took over
the business in December of last
year, and planted the tree to offer her
canine guests additional cover from
the sun. The fence is to keep the dogs
from
relieving
the tree

while it takes root.

people are naturally slow movers so will

Golf Swing Tip #4:
The Downswing
One of the key elements in the downswing is to keep your head in the same position. Begin your downswing with the hips
and keep your head behind the ball until
your follow through. Do not use your right
hand to try to generate more power. The
power in your golf swing will come from the
leverage in the angle between the club and
your wrists. Try to hold the angle between
the clubs and the wrists as much as possible

jump and mingle and play.
Some will eventually desire
a shady spot in which to
flop and just be calm for a
few minutes, and the trees
will serve them well.
Unless the two trees die
before taking root because
the dogs peed all over them
– hence the fence.
Chuckle if you must,
but this level of attention
to pet comfort is evident
throughout Cedar Dale.
Everson, in her first full
year as owner, is hands-on,
and is putting her stamp
on Cedar Dale one nail
trimming, overnight stay
and pleased pet owner at a
time.
Back to
her roots
Everson, a native of
the Green Bay area, left
Wisconsin in her mid-20s
and ventured to Boston,
where she lived for five
years. She spent the last 13
years in San Diego.
“I was looking at
different kennels and
training facilities in
California,” Everson said.
“There wasn’t one I found
that was a good fit.
“I saw some on the east
coast, and I decided if I was
going to move back east, I
might as well look for one
in the Midwest, to be close
to friends and family.”
Everson lives onsite, which considerably
decreased her travel time to
work.
“I’m here all the
time, which is good and
bad,” Everson said. “The
commute is nice. I used to
spend 45 minutes driving
13 miles. Now I go 13 steps
and I’m at work.”
Everson said Cedar Dale
cares for between 20 and 30
boarded dogs per night and
10 to 15 daily in day care.
Everson purchased the
business and property from
previous owners Peter
DiBrito and Bruce Swinton.
Everson traveled to Genoa
City in October of last
year, examined the site and
considered her options. She
took over in December.
“I had to make sure I
was coming somewhere
I could actually live,”
“
I was helping people get pregnant
during the week, and helping
animals not get pregnant on the
weekends. That’s when I really
got more involved in rescue and
helping out other animals.”

Everson said. “The proximity
to Milwaukee and Chicago and
Madison is nice. I didn’t know
if I was going to miss being
near a city.”
Everson said Swinton
and DiBrito built a business
with a sterling reputation for
pampering pets. Cedar Dale
is an institution among area
animal lovers.
“Everyone who has pets in
the area either knows someone,
or has been here before, and
knows of Cedar Dale,” Everson
said. “Everyone has good things
to say about it.”
Everson said she still talks
to Swinton and DiBrito, and
said she maintains a good
relationship with the two.
They sold to Everson over
other buyers.
“There were other potential
buyers, but they really wanted
me to have it because of my
passion for animals and what I
wanted to do with the business
to help the animals and expand
it,” Everson said. “They like
all of my ideas – we kind of
bounce things off each other
– and keep in contact. They’re
really great guys.”
A touch of Cali
Everson brought a touch of
California to the area and Cedar
Dale in several ways. She
installed Perfect Turf artificial
pet grass for dogs in some of
her outside areas. The surface
is impervious, and allows the
dogs time outside if it rains
without making a mess.
“It looks great and the dogs
love it,” Everson said. “They
don’t know the difference. Most
kennels and boarding facilities
in California have it because it’s
hard to grow grass there.”
Everson also purchased new
blankets and pillows for the
dogs, and hung new screens
for shade in her play area. Her
Kelly Everson, owner of
Cedar Dale Pet Resort in
Genoa City, cuddles and

session. Everson intends
to someday use Cedar
Dale’s facilities to become
a presence in the local
pet rescue and adoption
community.

In a previous life, Everson
worked at a fertility clinic,
and spent her time trying to
help couples get pregnant. On
the weekends she ventured to
Tijuana, Mexico, and worked
at a spay and neuter clinic run
by the Humane Society of
Tijuana. She earned a degree in
biology from the University of
Wisconsin-Stevens Point.
“I was helping people get
pregnant during the week,
and helping animals not get
pregnant on the weekends,”
Everson said. “That’s when
I really got more involved in
rescue and helping out other
animals.”
Everson said she became
more passionate about rescue
shelters and pet overcrowding
after learning of the thousands
of cats and dogs euthanized
each year in southern
California.
“I tried to get as involved as I
could, as my time would allow,
at all pet events,’ Everson said.
Everson said she financially
supports a rescue operation in
Thailand that keeps dogs from
being processed for food. Her
passion for rescue is continuing
at Cedar Dale.
She hosted an event with Safe
Harbor of Kenosha on June 25,
and is also becoming involved
with Helping Paws Animal
Shelter in Woodstock, Ill.
Everson said she hopes
Cedar Dale will grow to become
known not only for its prestige as
a pet resort and day care center,
but also as a presence in rescue
and adoption circles. Someday
dogs that never felt love might
lounge in the shade of one of her
newly planted trees.
“I’m hoping that we can
foster a couple of dogs and keep
them here, market them and
help them find homes,” Everson
said. “We’ll continue to have
adoption events – anything we
can do to be part of helping get
a pet adopted.”

focus is on making sure the
dogs are comfortable.
Cedar Dale offers grooming
services, day care services and
boarding. Its primary business
is in servicing dogs, but cats
are also welcome in Everson’s
boarding cattery.
Visitors and clients alike will
be pleased with the facility’s
level of cleanliness – it looks
more like a place one might
build microchips than a pet day
care.

Resort in Genoa City during a recent

Everson recently installed artificial
grass play areas, which allow for
outside play in spotty weather
without the dogs becoming muddy.
Everson said the doggy day
care model, as it is colloquially
known, emerged and went
mainstream in California. Dogs
are constant companions for
many, especially in southern
California, and owners soon
demanded a level of care
appropriate for a member of the
family.
More importantly, they
were willing to pay for it, and
entrepreneurs like Everson filled
a need. Cedar Dale opened in

Yappy hour BRINGS PEOPLE,
WINE AND PETS together
It’s a clever, almost irreverent name
for an ingenious idea – Yappy Hour.
The concept of pairing dogs, wine
and social time is being tried locally
this summer by two pet businesses and
a winery.
Studio Winery in Lake Geneva,
Cedar Dale Pet Resort in Genoa City
and The Bark Market in Delavan host
Yappy Hour every Thursday from 4-6
p.m. at Studio Winery.
“I like wine and I like dogs,” Studio
Winery owner Doug Jackson said.
“Our dog kind of roams around here I
generally don’t have a problem having
dogs around.”
Jackson said Kelly Everson, owner
of Cedar Dale, asked Studio Winery
about hosting Yappy Hour.
“Kelly showed up and it seemed
like a good merger,” Jackson said.
“Customers had previously mentioned
the idea, and interest existed.”
Everson, who lived in San Diego
for the last 13 years before buying
Cedar Dale and moving to Wisconsin
last December, said vino and Fido
are a common pairing in southern
California.
“We have them all the time in
California,” Everson said. “No one
knew what they were when I proposed
them here.”
Everson said Cedar Dale, Studio
Winery and the Bark Market advertise
the event through Facebook and e-mail
marketing.
A curious dog ignores a sign during a recent Yappy Hour event at Studio Winery in Lake Geneva. The event is held from 4 to 6 p.m. each Thursday, and is hosted
by Cedar Dale Pet Resort in Genoa City and The Bark Market in Delavan.
The intent of the event is twofold.
Everson said new business is always
nice, but Yappy Hour also helps local
dog owners get to know each other and
their pets.
“You bring your dog and sit on the
patio and have wine or beer, and get

BALLOONFEST
Waterford’s
annual hot air
balloon festival will
be July 15 to 17
by Tracy Ouellette
STAFF WRITER
he Waterford Area Chamber
of Commerce’s sixth annual
Balloonfest launches at 4 p.m.
on Friday, July 15, and runs until
Sunday, July 17, on the Evergreen
Elementary School grounds at 817
W. Main St. in Waterford.
The hours of operation for the festival
are 4 to 9 p.m. on Friday, sunrise to 9 p.m.
on Saturday, and sunrise to 10 a.m. on
Sunday.
The nationally known festival draws
balloon enthusiasts from all over the
country. More than a dozen balloonists
from around the nation gather for the
event each year to share the love of hot air
ballooning.
There is no admission fee for the family
friendly festival. There is no smoking,
alcohol, bikes, skateboards, or animals
allowed on school/event grounds. Certified
service animals are welcome.
The balloons are the stars of the show
21
during Balloonfest and the event features
evening glows, where the tethered
balloons are lit up for a spectacular show,
on Friday and Saturday nights.
For some exciting fun, the balloonists
at the festival will square off in flight
competition Saturday morning. This
event, like all the events featuring the
balloons, will only be held if the weather
permits.
“And all Saturday afternoon we’ll have
local music artist performing from Rock
Shop and then Clove will give a concert,”
event co-chairperson Kathy Robers said.
New this year will be the appearance
of the Kids from Wisconsin, who will
perform a musical review from 6 p.m. to
8 p.m. on Friday. The chamber suggests
guests bring lawn chairs and/or blankets
for the performance.
As in years past, the arts and crafts
vendors will show their wares Friday
evening and most of the day and into the
evening on Saturday. Local and national
businesses will also be set up to provide
information about their companies in
the chamber’s business vendor area on
Saturday.
All items in the arts and craft area
must be handmade by the vendor. No
commercial products, buy-sell items, or
home party products are allowed.
There will be plenty of food and drink
available with local and regional food
vendors selling items on the grounds
throughout the festival.
A kids’ area will have games,
activities, entertainment and an inflatable
amusement area all three days to keep the
little ones busy too.
The balloonists will offer tethered
balloon rides and there will be helicopter
rides during the festival when weather
permits.
Ballooning is a fair weather sport.
Assuming visibility is good, the key
consideration is the wind speed.
Generally, a launch is not feasible when
the wind exceeds 8 miles per hour. The
preferred flying times are just after
sunrise and just before sunset, when the
winds are lighter and more stable. The
pilots make a determination concerning
the weather.
Hot air balloon rides during the event
are available for certain sponsorship
levels. Others interested in balloon
flights at the event will need to contact
our balloonist, Ken Walter with
WindDancer Balloon Promotions,
[email protected] prior to the
event.
Tethered balloon rides will be
available at the event and tickets may be
purchased at the event. Tethered rides are
offered by Sky Cab Balloon Promotions.
The tethered rides are sponsored by the
Waterford Medical Clinic.
“We also have a pancake breakfast on
Saturday morning which is a lot of fun,”
Robers said.
While the festival doesn’t charge
admission, there is a fee to park. The
preferred event parking lots cost $10 a
vehicle and the standard/handicapped/
motorcycle event parking lots cost $5 a
vehicle.
A portion of all parking lot fees will
be given back to help the local nonprofit
organizations serving as lot attendants.
Street parking is available but on a
limited basis around the festival grounds.
Calling amateur
photographers
The chamber is sponsoring an amateur
photo contest during the festival. Entry

Dolenz to headline
music series
The annual Music by the Lake outdoor summer concert series
continues in July with performances by Micky Dolenz, the voice of the
Monkees, and YouTube sensation Postmodern Jukebox.
The series’ 16th season, which runs through Aug. 20 at George
Williams Collage of Aurora University in Williams Bay, features
performances to appeal to a wide range of entertainment tastes.
The shows are performed in the college’s Ferro Pavilion on the shores
of Geneva Lake.
Here’s a look at the upcoming shows:
July 9 THE VOICE OF THE MONKEES MICKY DOLENZ
CELEBRATES NOSTALGIC POP
Micky Dolenz, drummer and vocalist behind the 1960s pop sensation
the Monkees makes his Music by the Lake debut with a special solo
appearance at 7:30 p.m. on July 9.
Dolenz first emerged as a performer at age 10 when he starred
in the TV series “Circus Boy,” which aired from 1956 to 1958, and
he continued to appear on television in several supporting roles.
From the day “The Monkees” first aired in 1966, Dolenz, along
with fellow actor/musicians Davy Jones, Michael Nesmith and
Peter Tork, shot to fame, helping to turn out five platinum albums
and three number-one hits by 1968. A dynamic showman, Dolenz
gives the audience
what it wants: the
hits. His voice is
unmistakable on
chart busters “Take
the Last Train to
Clarksville” and
“I’m a Believer,”
and on other
classics such as

SENSATION POSTMODERN
JUKEBOX PERFORM THEIR
INTERPRETATIONS OF TODAY’S
BIGGEST HITS
Online phenomenon Postmodern
Jukebox makes its festival debut at 7:30
p.m. on July 16, performing genrebending interpretations of today’s charttopping songs. Postmodern Jukebox is
the brainchild of pianist and arranger
Scott Bradlee, who began to test his
musical creativity by rewriting 1980s
pop tunes as jazz, swing and ragtime
arrangements. After posting solo video
performances of these remakes on
YouTube in 2009, Bradlee became a
virtual sensation.
By 2013 Bradlee and Postmodern
Jukebox’s revolving cast of 50 musicians
were posting a new video each week and
attracting tens of thousands of views.
Today, more than 160 videos later,
Postmodern Jukebox’s YouTube channel
boasts 1.9 million subscribers and more
than 400 million views. In just four
years the band has released 12 albums,
including last year’s “Top Hat on Fleek,”
which reached No. 6 on the Billboard
Jazz Album chart.
As Bradlee recently told Parade.com,
Postmodern Jukebox is a “musical time
machine,” taking multi-generational
audiences down a weirdly nostalgic
road without ever straying very far from
today’s pop favorites.

The Geneva Lake Museum offers a chance to take a
stroll back in time and experience Main Street
as it appeared in the 19th and early 20th centuries.

CORRESPONDENT
Let’s take a walk down Main Street. Not
the Main Street of today’s Lake Geneva,
but Main Street as it would have appeared
from 1830 to 1930.
It’s a visit to a time when life was much
simpler than today’s complex schedules,
but physically was much harder. Our walk
down Main Street begins after entering the
Geneva Lakes Museum.
The brick-paved Main Street with its
life size displays of rooms and businesses
will take you back in time. The early
Pottawatomi Indian Lakeside Village that
would have existed in the area prior to
its settlement by the ancestors of today’s
resident greets you at the entrance.
In 1830, the street would not have been
paved by bricks but would have most
likely been dirt and in rainy season, mud,
deeply rutted from the wheels of carriages
and wagons. In the early 1900s the bricks
would have made a better surface for the
27
automobiles, which were replacing the horse and wagon.
A stop at the farm display reveals many of the tools
used to till the land, plant, and harvest. Visitors will meet
Molly the cow and Fibber the work horse. Some of the
tools on display were used at Black Point – a large estate
that is now a museum overlooking Geneva Lake.
This area, – according to Karen Jo Walsh, director of
exhibits – is currently undergoing a minor facelift with the
addition of a barn wood wall where tools will be attached
for display.
Businesses past
Visitors can stop in at the local businesses, including
the blacksmith shop, the general store, the post office,
and the firehouse – complete with a 1917 fire engine. And
don’t forget to check out the dentist’s office tucked into a
corner of the general store.
On the other side of Main Street the Victorian parlor is
a delight. The Victorian era was a formal and elegant era
and everything in the room emphasizes that.
Moving onto the 1900s, imagine eating dinner in the
Long before the white man settled the area, it was the home of the Pottawatomi Indians, a semi-nomadic tribe.

The dual kitchens display features the 1880 kitchen with
its icebox to cool food and, next to it, the 1920 kitchen of two
generations later with an electric refrigerator complete with
compressor on top. It presents a far different look than today’s
sleek stainless steel refrigerators with a separate freezer. The
kitchen sink in 1920 with running water shows how far things
progressed from the 1880 sink with a pump in place.
The museum offers a plethora of interesting memorabilia
as visitors continue to wander through. A favorite display of
many is Ceylon Court. Ceylon Court was a building at the 1893
World’s Exhibition in Chicago and after the exhibition closed was
purchased and moved to the shore of Geneva Lake where it served
as a home for many years.
The Geneva Lakes Museum is unlike most museums because all
the displays are open and visitors are encouraged to walk into and
touch a piece of history.
Most items are displayed in an open setting, not tucked behind
locked cabinets with a do not touch sign.
facility. They were successful and the Old Wisconsin Power
and Light building was to become of an expanded Geneva Lake
Museum.
By 2004 after much hard work by museum staff and many
volunteers, Main Street was constructed in the space. In addition,
organizers were able to create several other display rooms, a
library space, a museum store and meeting rooms. An open and
welcoming entrance greets visitors to the museum.
In addition to displays, the museum has many programs
throughout the year. The Tuesday at Two program is just that, a
program each Tuesday at 2 p.m. about a historical event or place
in Lake Geneva. This month’s topics include on July 5 the Geneva
Lake Conservancy and Tales from a Vintage 1958 house trailer on
July 12. The program on the 19th will be a talk by author Daniel
Rozelle and the final July talk on the 26th will be the Camelot
White House in Miniature.
Community programs
The Museum reaches out to the community and has programs
that are brought to the people. The Sharing Trunks is a program
where teachers may borrow a trunk of items from a specific era to
share with their students to enhance a history lesson.

Life is a bowl of chair-ies
MUSEUM EXHIBIT FEATURES 600 CHAIRS
The Geneva Lakes
Museum is currently hosting
a chair exhibit.
Why Chairs? Why not?
Everyone spends a good part
of their day sitting in chairs
– some more than others.
They are found everywhere:
outdoor parks, theaters, and
in our homes. Each of these
places has a unique style of
chair designed for a specific
use.
Chairs are an integral part
of our lives. A better answer
to why there is a chair exhibit
comes from the Geneva
Lakes Museum in a quote
attributed to David Byrne.
“Well, they have arms
and legs and vaguely human
scale and shape. They are
like people – they hold you,
support you, elevate you
or humble you. They’re
funny or elegant, funky or
gorgeous, social or aloof.
They’re characters with lives
and histories…aren’t they?”
Throughout time chairs
have been an important
item in all households
and have evolved from
simple to intricate. Made of
materials that reflect what
was available at the time and
the style and social standing
of the owners, chairs are
also a sign of welcome.
Visitor entering a home or
an office are invited to have
a seat. Chairs are found
around the dining room table
where families gather and
share a meal and their day’s
experiences.
The chair exhibit is a
collection of over 600 chairs
of various eras, including
styles dating back to the
Ming Dynasty in the 1300s.
Whether a simple milking
stool, a chair in the Louis
XIV style, or an 1859
Bentwood Chair, there are
almost certainly to be chairs
in a style that is remembered
from childhood.
Of the 600 chairs that
are on display many are
owned by the museum, some
are borrowed from other
historical institutions or from
friends and members of the
museum.
The chairs range from
sizes that fit in a dollhouse,
a child-size chair, adultsized chairs and, finally, the
gigantic Adirondack style
chair out in front of the
museum.
Many of the chairs are
easy to spot as they are
displayed in the open with
other chairs of the exhibit,
but others are tucked into
some of the permanent
exhibits.
Throughout the exhibit
there are chairs with a letter
of the alphabet on a placard
identifying it and the year
it was created. Visitors are
challenged to see how many
of the 26 letters they can
locate?
As in most of the
museum, the chairs are there
to not only be seen, but to
be touched and, in some
cases, for people to sit upon.
If the chair is on the floor
and not otherwise tagged
“do not sit,” visitors are free
to try it out. Those elevated
on a box are not for sitting
as they are either too weak
because of age or on loan
from a contributor who has
requested that it not be for
general use.
A whimsical game for
children or the child at
heart is to locate the 100
stuffed bears that are placed
on chairs throughout the
museum.
Find the 100 bears and
you will find 100 of the
600 chairs. A score sheet is
available at the desk upon
entering the museum.
At the end of the exhibit,
some of the chairs will be
auctioned.
These chairs are tagged
with a special yellow
tag with a picture of a
Bentwood café style chair.
This display of chairs is titled, Seating for 5. The chairs are
arranged in a whimsical artistic display

more information or

current auctions send

The chair exhibit
runs through Jan. 17,
2017.
The museum is
open from Monday
through Saturday
from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.
and Sundays from 11
a.m. to 3 p.m.
The Bachelor’s Chair
is the everything chair. It can be used as
an ironing board when opened, a step stool
and, of course, a chair. Thomas Jefferson is
credited with designing it.
This
unique
chair from
the late
1800s is
known as
a corner
chair. It is an
interesting
accent piece
for any room.

CORRESPONDENT
The Finch Tavern and Taqueria recently
opened at N2062 South Lake Shore Drive,
Lake Geneva, on the property that was
previously the home of Corleone Restaurant.
This new venture is the work of owners Tim
Casey and Marty Healy.
Casey, Healy, their manager Scott Van
Dyke, and their chef Isaac Magana discussed
the new business with The Spirit shortly before
its opening.
The dining room was still in the throes
of being converted from a traditional Italian
dining room to the homey feeling found in the
more casual atmosphere of a friendly bar. The
walls had already been painted a variety of
bright colors much as one would see in Mexico
or the Caribbean.
New tables crafted from long planks of
wood are stained in a natural hue making a
sleek, neutral statement. The understated colors
of the tables make the multi-colored walls pop.
Most of the tables seat at least eight customers
and are meant to be shared in an easy and
friendly way.

A panoramic view of Geneva Lake is served
from the tavern’s deck along with Margaritas,
craft beers and specialty tacos. The deck
provides a breathtaking view of sunsets.

“
We are working on a different concept. We are a bar, not
a restaurant, but we will serve some street food. And that
food will be tacos. Not burritos, not enchiladas, just tacos
that are easily held and really good.” – Co-owner Tim Casey
The concept for this establishment was
the work of Casey and Healy, who have
a background in bar and restaurant work.
Having previously owned and worked in
bars in Chicago, they learned what a friendly
neighborhood bar brings to the area. Their
restaurant experience includes owning and
running the Lauderdale Landing, a lakefront
restaurant in Elkhorn.
“When we heard this property was
available,” said Casey, “we knew it was
the perfect place to open this new concept
business.”
A fresh idea
The idea, Casey went on to explain,
was not to open “just another Lake Geneva
Restaurant, but to provide an entirely new
concept.”
When it comes to Lake Geneva dining
options, whether it’s a high-end restaurant, a
place for a casual salad or sandwich, or just a
bar to sit down and have a drink, the choices
are many.
“We are working on a different concept,”
Casey said. “We are a bar, not a restaurant,
but we will serve some street food. And
that food will be tacos. Not burritos, not
enchiladas, just tacos that are easily held and
really good.”
The focus is on authentic street food.
“There will be small servings of other
street foods that are easily held such as
ceviche, oyster shooters, and guacamole,”
said Van Dyke, the manager.
For those unfamiliar with the term street
food, Magana explained that in the larger
cities – where people are in a hurry – they
often purchase items from a street vendor
that can be carried and eaten with one hand
as they continue on their way.
This trend has led many bars to add this
type of food to their menus and, according to
Van Dyke, they have been very successful.
The success of the street foods lie in
the preparation. According to Magana, the
meats are cooked at night then sold during
the day. Using techniques such as braising,
grilling, pan searing and slow roasting, the
meats are cooked to perfection and ready to
be transformed into a taco or other handheld
item. When using items such
as fish in the taco, because
it needs a shorter cooking
time, it is generally cooked
to order.
“Street
foods are
also very
The Finch Tavern and Taqueria recently opened in the former home of Corleone Restaurant in Lake Geneva. The building is at N2052 South Lake Shore Dr., adjacent to Big Foot
State Park Beach.
simply prepared,” added Magana. “Only
two or three ingredients are used and each of
these items is high quality and fresh. Street
food is simplicity.”
Magana has been cooking street style
foods for more than 15 years and said it
goes back to the style of cooking he is most
familiar with – his mother’s cooking.
While tacos will be the primary food
served there will be some variety in them as
tacos can be made with various ingredients.
Mescal is a specialty
As with any bar, the quality of the
beverages served is most important. Mescal
is one of their featured alcohols. A variety
of craft cocktails with mescal will be on
the menu. For those of us unfamiliar with
mescal, Magana offered an explanation.
Mescal is a smoked tequila that can be
manufactured anywhere unlike regular
tequila which can only be manufactured at
five sites.
“Tequila,” according to Magana, “can be
likened to Champagne, which can only be
called Champagne if it is manufactured in
the Champagne region of France. Otherwise
it has to be called sparkling wine. So this
tequila, which is not manufactured at the five
approved sites is known not as tequila but
mescal.”
The Finch will serve a variety of craft
cocktails. All fruits and juices used will be
especially prepared at the bar. Juices will
be freshly squeezed and fresh fruit purees
will be extracted from fresh fruit on site. For
those who prefer a craft beer, the finest in
craft beers will be available along with other
liquors and beers.
Margaritas will be featured – both plain
and flavored. At this time however no frozen
Margaritas will be available, but the owners
assured that even frozen margarita lovers
won’t be disappointed with their margaritas
made with the fresh fruit purees.
Dining al fresco
In addition to the bar and dining areas,
the most remarkable part of the site is the
large outdoor deck facing the narrows of
Geneva Lake. Sitting out during the day and
watching the boats go by and inhaling the
beauty of the lake is reason enough to be
here, even before adding a great taco and
a wonderful beverage. But the best time of
all to be here is at sunset. Some of the most
spectacular sunsets are seen from the deck,
according to the staff.
The goal of the owners and the
management team is to make this a
welcoming and fun location – a place that
will be the first choice for a casual evening
out with friends.
And to add to that experience, the owners
plan plenty of music. Some of the best local
bands will be chosen to entertain on Friday
35
and Saturday nights and a DJ or karaoke will be
offered when there is no band.
The large parking lot provides easy parking
for customers – unlike the more crowded
confines of downtown Lake Geneva. But don’t
be surprised to see cars sharing the lot with a
boat or two. On the second floor of the building,
the business office of the Boathouse will be
available to help customers with any boat
information and purchases. They will display a
boat or two in the parking lot.
The Boathouse is a large marine sales outlet
with locations in Illinois, Wisconsin, and Florida.
The northern stores combine to be the largest
inboard dealership in the Midwest. The shared
location with The Finch Tavern and Taqueria
gives the firm a presence on Geneva Lake.
“The Finch is the place to enjoy high
quality beverages, fine street foods, and a great
atmosphere at reasonable prices,” Van Dyke said,
while the rest of the team nodded in agreement.
The Finch Tavern and Taqueria is at N2062
South Lake Shore Dr., Lake Geneva. It is just
across the street from Big Foot Beach and
customers have the option of arriving by boat.

Geneva, features Vegas-style
illusions with the help of $100,000
in equipment. What separates the
performance from other large-scale
shows is small size of the theater,
which gives audiences an up-close
view of the action.

Just seven months after opening in
downtown Lake Geneva, the Tristan Crist
Theatre has created a buzz as one of the

The new magic-themed venue is an

“

from you because we’re
20-feet away from you
at the furthest.”
– Tristan Lind
Tristan challenges viewers to, “catch me if
you can.”
Audiences have responded with reviews
have made the Tristan Crist Magic Theatre
one of the top two Lake Geneva attractions
on TripAdvisor – right behind the Lake
Shore Path.
“I am thrilled with the huge response
we have received from locals and tourists
alike,” Crist said. “We see audiences
ranging from age 4 to 94 and everyone
walks out with a smile on their face after
the show. It’s great to be able to share my
passion for magic with so many people and
provide a unique entertainment option to
the area.”
Designed to amaze
The show itself features illusions usually
reserved for large theaters with $100,000
worth of equipment designed to dazzle
audiences.
“We’re going to make a full-scale
motorcycle that works appear right here on
this stage,” Crist said. “You will not be able
to see this stuff anywhere else in the world.
I guarantee as far as a magic theater, this is
the most intimate place to see large-scale
illusions.
“We’re not going to hide anything from
you because we’re 20-feet away from you
at the furthest.”
Speaking of the motorcycle illusion,
Crist’s theater is likely the only place you’ll
ever see it performed. Crist said the only
other person with the rights to perform it is
the illusionist who originally designed it.
“There’s only one other place (you
could see it),” he said.
While Crist said he’s often asked if he’s
nervous about taking on the challenge, he
said he’s comfortable with the prospect
because it’s something he and his assistants
have been doing for quite some time.
“We’re very confident that people are
going to see an excellent show, because
that’s what we do,” he said.
With a longer performance in a more
intimate theater, Crist said, his show allows

him to get a bit more personal with the
audience and be more of an entertainer than
a performer.
“Here, we can slow things down a little,
I can kind of get to know the audience, talk
and joke with them,” he said. “So, a piece
like this card trick I’m doing, where it has a
story behind it, a reason behind the magic,
that’s what I’m enjoying working on.”
Crist said the setting allows people
to become a part of the show rather than
watching from 80-feet away.
“Basically, they’re going to come, we’re
going to have a party, I’m going to show
them a bunch of cool magic tricks and
we’re going to talk to each other,” he said.
“You’re really going to be in the show,
a part of the show … you’re going to be
right there and it’s going to be a little more
interactive than what I think people think
theater is these days.”
Thrills, chills
In a live magic show there’s a whole
different energy compared to watching it on
TV, Crist said, and there’s the added chance
that something could go wrong.
“I put my one girl in a box and I
shove spikes through her,” he said. “It’s a
dangerous trick, it really is. Most magicians

have that danger element that I think people like.”
Crist said the show also offers comedy. Though he admits the
jokes can be a bit corny, he said there are plenty of laugh-out-loud
moments.
Though the intimate setting puts pressure on the group to
execute each illusion to perfection, Crist said it’s a challenge
they’ve embraced.
“This is kind of cool ... we’re going to be right here (in front of
the audience),” he said. “It’s stuff that’s come about just because
it’s, like, now we’re right here in front of people, how are we going
to do this?
Crist said with so much negativity in the world, it’s his pleasure
to provide an opportunity for people to escape real life and “go be
a kid again.”
“I think that says it all right there,” he said. “Be a kid again. Sit
back and enjoy something that you have no idea how it’s done. Try
and figure it out if you want to or sit back and enjoy it. I encourage
both.
“More than anything, just come and have a good time because
it’s so rare these days that people can just relax and enjoy
themselves.”

WALWORTH COUNTY TO HOST FARM
TECHNOLOGY DAYS JULY 19 TO 21
by Tracy Ouellette
STAFF WRITER
The Wisconsin Farm Technology
Days is the largest agricultural show in
Wisconsin and one of the largest in the
nation.
The three-day outdoor event showcases
the latest improvements in production
agriculture, including many practical
applications of recent research findings
and technological developments. Each
year, it is held in a different Wisconsin
county — on a different host family farm.
The 2016 Farm Technology Days host
is Snudden Farms, in the Town of Zenda,
near Lake Geneva.
The farm is owned and operated by
Steve Snudden, with help from family
members and about 30 employees. The
farm is the furthest south the event has
ever been held in Wisconsin and at the
June 2 media day, organizers said they
were hoping to attract visitors from
Illinois to the event.
Walworth County Farm Technology
Days Executive Chairman Jim Stowell
said it was an opportunity for “our
friends in Illinois” to see what farming in
Wisconsin is all about and where the food
comes from.
It’s taken two years of planning to pull
off the event and it couldn’t have been
done without Steve Snudden and his
family and their willingness to open their
farm to the public.

Jahnke, Wisconsin Farm Report, said
the Snudden’s cooperation extended far
beyond just hosting the event.
“This farm has given more than just
time, they’ve made a lot of adjustments to
accommodate this,” Jahnke said at media
day, explaining that even the location of
some crops have been dictated by the
event.
“I hope people will see the amount of
planning, hard work, and folks it takes
to put on a decent show,” Steve said in a
FTD interview. “I wouldn’t have done it
without knowing I was going to be able to
get all the help from the committees and

to this whole project, and without their

About Snudden Farm
The Snudden Farm has been in Steve’s family since 1925,
when his grandfather, Harvey Snudden, purchased the farm.
Steve’s parents, Kip and Marilyn, assumed ownership in the
early 1960s, with Steve taking over in the fall of 1977, during
his senior year of high school.
Today, Snudden Farms is home to 1,700 Holstein cows
and 3,000 acres of corn, forage and small grains. The cows
are milked double‐32 DeLaval parallel parlour and freestall
facilities and on-farm sand separation facility. Snudden Farms’
milk is marketed through Grande.
Snudden raises his own calves and uses an on-farm calf
milk pasteurizer and Snudden Farms recently built a 1,500head heifer facility.
Snudden farms 3,000 acres – all within a 10-mile radius of
his farm – of corn, alfalfa and wheat, in addition to custom
farming 1,000 acres. The farm has its own drying facility and
has storage capacity of 140,000 bushels.
Farming in Walworth County
Family-owned farms, food processors and agriculturerelated businesses in Walworth County generate thousands of
jobs and millions of dollars each year. Although population
of Walworth County has increased by 25 percent in the past
decade, more than 60 percent of the county is still farmland.
As one of the state’s top tourist destinations, the pastoral
landscape is a valuable asset to the county
Agriculture in the county is diverse, and in addition to
production grain and dairy, includes a wide range of livestock
and horticultural crops. The direct marketing of vegetables,
meat and poultry, cheese, and fruits is a rapidly growing
segment of county agriculture.
Walworth County has 870 farms, covering 187,920 acres
and its agriculture generates $894.8 million in economic
activity. Ag-related employment in the county accounts for
4,347 jobs.
The top commodities grown in Walworth County are grain

Volunteers needed
The event organizers are seeking
volunteers for the three-day event.
“We need skilled volunteers, we
need kids, we need people of all ages,”
volunteer coordinator Colleen Lesniak
said.
As of the June 2 media day, Lesniak
said there were about 400 volunteers
signed up and that was about half of what
they would like.
“Optimally, we’d like about 700
volunteers,” she said.
Some of the areas still needing
volunteers include forklift and skidsteer
drivers to help unload the semi-trucks
the two weeks before the event, grounds
crew, parking attendants and tractor
drivers, Lesniak said.
“We’re lucky to have such a strong
volunteer force in the county, the
response has been wonderful, but we still
need more people to step up,” she said.
Anyone interested in helping out can
contact Lesniak at (262) 741-4223 or
[email protected].
American Idol winner and platinum
recording star Scotty McCreery will
perform Sept. 4 during the 167th annual
Walworth County Fair in Elkhorn.
“People have been calling wondering
when we were going to announce our
main stage entertainers this year and
because of this contract, we couldn’t
announce until today but it’s really
exciting news to share,” fair office
manager Peggy Frazier said April 25.
McCreery came onto the national
music scene in 2011 when he was 17
years old and established himself as one
of country music’s hottest new stars. By
21 years old, the singer and songwriter
has sold nearly 2.5 million albums,
received platinum and gold album
certifications, debuted three consecutive
albums at No. 1 on Billboard chart.
The grandstand line-up for 2016
includes:
Aug. 31 – bull riding and barrel
racing, The National Federation of
Professional Bull Riders Shock and Awe
Tour presented by Rice Rodeo. This
year will feature championship bulls and
nationally ranked bull riders;
Sept. 1 – truck and tractor pulls in
the afternoon and in the evening Badger
State Tractor Pullers;
Sept. 2 – monster trucks along with
pro ATV races;
Sept. 3 – harness racing in the
afternoon and a concert that will be
announced July 18 on WIIL Rock
FM 95. The band is a rock band and
is on WIIL Rock’s play list. Contract
restrictions prevent the fair from
announcing the band until July 18;
Sept. 4 – antique tractor parade and
a concert with Scotty McCreery and
special guest Chasin Mason who will be
filming a music video for an upcoming
album release;
Sept. 5 – horse pulls in the morning
and demo derby in the afternoon and

Thompsons’ garden
Bill Thompson’s garden is a daylily
collection of more than 1,200 varieties. His
collection includes the annual Stout Silver
Medal winners since 1950, selections of
Pat Stamile’s candy series, Brother Charles
Reckamp’s and Dr. Robert Griesbach’s best
varieties along with most Award of Merit
winners since 1975.
Jim Weikel’s gardens
Oak Rest Garden a specimen woody plant
and conifer collection, a working “farm-totable” food source, a habitat for creatures
and a water garden show place. Weikel
has created bloom from February through
November using bulbs, broadleaf, woody
and herbaceous plant material. The garden is
useful to expose many aspects of horticulture,
landscape and hard scape design.
Black Point Estate
Black Point Estate and Gardens is an
1888 Queen Anne summer house museum
on the shores of Geneva Lake operated
by the Wisconsin Historical Society. The
Estate was built for Chicago beer baron
Conrad Seipp as a family getaway from the
heat and bustle of the rapidly expanding
city. The estate evokes the sense of a time
and place where wealthy urban families
escaped to Wisconsin to spend summer days
entertaining guests on verandas or sailing on
Geneva Lake.
In 1901 the Seipp family hired Chicago
landscape architect Olof Benson to develop
a park-like setting for the estate’s 100 acres.
Benson was responsible for the development
of Lincoln Park in Chicago and other public
gardens. Much of the 1901 design has
been lost to changing tastes and property
subdivisions, however plans are under way
to reinvigorate Benson’s design.
Mary King’s garden
The King property was once part of
the historic Black Point Estate, serving as
the grazing area for the estate’s livestock.
The estate has been divided but remnants
of that bygone era remain. The old buggy
road to the estate can be seen from the King
property as well as the Sugar Maple trees
that give the street its name. Today the
livestock are gone and the barnyard grass has
been replaced by native plants and grasses.
The house is surrounded by native plantings,
and a sample of a no-mow lawn graces the
front yard. Walking shoes are recommended.
Melita Grunow’s garden
Grunow’s garden was designed by
her husband, Bill, a master gardener. He
designed and reshaped their landscape over
the course of many years. Today it has a mix
of evergreen, deciduous trees and showy
shrubs.
Hirn’s garden
A wooded entryway abounding in native
plants leads down the driveway past the
wisteria-lined tennis court, followed by a
series of garden rooms amassed with easy
care plants
John Anderson’s garden
Anderson’s garden is designed to frame
Geneva Lake and is filled with native plants
and other cultivars to enhance the beauty of
the lake.
“We love this lake so much that we look
at the garden as the frame for the work of art
which is the lake,” John Anderson said.
The gardens are complete with a gazebo
and formal croquet court awaiting an old
fashion ice cream social. Anderson is the
founder of the Anderson Japanese Garden
in Rockford, Ill., which is rated one of the
finest Japanese gardens in the world.
Highfield Farm Creamery
Highfield Farm Creamery is southeastern
Wisconsin’s first and only artisan farmstead
cheese producer. Farmstead cheese is
made on the farm where the Jersey cows
are milked. Guests will tour the farm, milk
house and view the cheese-making room
while sampling Highfield Farm Creamery
cheese in the farm shop.

ALEXANDER LUMBER
IS CELEBRATING ITS
125TH ANNIVERSARY!
125 YEARS OF QUALITY AND SERVICE.
Alexander Lumber Co. was founded by John Alexander in November 1891 in Aurora, Illinois. Mr Alexander was a Scottish
immigrant whose families’ roots in the United States started in Wausau, Wisconsin. In the 1880s, John worked for a lumber
company that was founded by John Stewart. Mr. Stewart sent him to Aurora to open a lumber yard there, he with $5,000
started Alexander Lumber Co. buying it from the Stewarts. Alexander Lumber grew with rural Illinois and Wisconsin,
establishing lumberyards along railroad stops in centrally located farm towns. By the Depression 120 of these yards were
operational. These yards were called “line yards” and as these small communities became towns and the automobile was
invented the need for many locations became obsolete. Yards were merged and centralized. The original yard in Aurora,
Illinois burnt down before the start of World War II, this yard was never rebuilt, however, the Corporate Offices still are in
Aurora, Illinois. Today we have 20 locations in Illinois and Wisconsin
MORE THAN JUST A LUMBERYARD. A TRUSTED PARTNER THAT HELPS BUILD COMMUNITIES.
