Tomahawk ALIVE in the Northwoods
By Jed Buelow
Tomahawk Leader City Editor

Northwoods summertime living is all about
the haunting distant call of a loon and the constant,
sometimes deafening, chirp of nearby frogs. It’s
the coming together of those who make life worth
living to recount stories from the past and plan for
adventures yet to be told.
Whether visiting for the day, the weekend
or an extended stay, there’s plenty for the entire
family to see and do.
Tomahawk provides a great jumping off point
for just about any outdoor sport. The area is known
for its legendary musky waters, and a number of
multi-use trails crisscross miles upon miles of state
and county owned forests that encompass the city.
The headwaters of the Wisconsin, Tomahawk,
Somo and Spirit rivers provide the ideal place to put
in for a scenic daylong paddling or pontoon trip.
The many trails that snake through Tomahawk
area forests provide another good place to watch
wildlife and take in the serenity of the Northwoods.
Whether by foot, bike or ATV, the region provides
plenty of opportunity to get off the beaten path
and back to nature.
There’s no need to leave city limits to take in
some of the best the area has to offer. One of the
city’s 11 parks, Bradley Park covers over 100 acres
and is filled with old growth red and white pine.
Located almost right next to the downtown, many
consider it a hidden gem of the city.
The summertime biking and walking Hiawatha
Trail extends north from SARA Park, and the recent
expansion of ATV routes in the region has made
Tomahawk a hub for accessing a multi-county ATV
trail systems that runs through town and connects
to the many club trail systems located in the
outskirts of the city.
The shoreline of the Wisconsin River in
Tomahawk is the location for free entertainment
during the summer. Water ski shows are held every
Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday at Kwahamot Park
and a number of free musical concerts take place
at Veterans Memorial Park on Wednesdays throughout
the summer. And just up the road at Washington
Square and Toddler Park, the Tomahawk Historical
Society’s museums offers a look back at bygone
days all summer long.
Several times throughout the year downtown
Tomahawk becomes the main focal point of activity
as visitors and residents alike flood the streets for
community events like the Main Street Memories
Car Show, Pow Wow Days parade, Thrilla on the
Grilla and Tomahawk Fall Ride.
The Tomahawk area also offers unique
shopping opportunities and great dining, and
excellent schools and medical facilities.

Plenty of fishing events
By Tom Colstad
Tomahawk Leader Sports Editor
[email protected]
For the Tomahawk area angler, there
are many fishing contests/tournaments that
take place during the course of the spring and
summer.
For those who like to chase muskies, one
might join the Mohawksin Musky Masters (MMM)
at Chuck’s Sport Shop for a $10 membership fee
and then fish with club members every Thursday
evening in friendly competition through Sept. 11
at various lakes in Lincoln and Oneida counties.
The cost for the Thursday competitions is $5
per evening with a 100% payout after each gettogether (in the event that no fish are caught, the
pot rolls over into the next week). The MMM also
hosts three Saturday tournaments during the
summer (June 21, July 26 and Aug. 13) where
teams of two anglers vie for cash and prizes. For
more information, call 715-453-3101.
The Park City Bass Anglers of Merrill holds
several bass tournaments during the season,
including: July 12, Big Arbor Vitae; July 13, Lake
Nokomis; Aug. 9, Lake Alice; Aug. 16, Miller
Dam; and Aug. 17, Holcombe Flowage. For
Help
end AIS
spread
Boaters and anglers alike are being reminded of
a few simple guidelines to follow this summer to help
keep Tomahawk area waters pristine and worthy of a
return visit.
With fishing and boating comes the risk of
spreading aquatic invasive species (AIS). These species
can spread rapidly by hitching a ride on boats and
watercraft. Species like Eurasian water milfoil (EWM)
and zebra mussels can choke out lakes and make
recreating difficult, if not impossible. It is up to all of
us to do our part to prevent the spread of AIS. There are
several laws in place in the state to prevent the spread
of these nasty invaders.
•Remove all aquatic plants, animals and mud from
boats, trailers and equipment before leaving the boat
landing. Make sure to look over the boat and boat trailer
to make sure no unintended weeds are hitching a ride.
Drain all water from the boat, motor, bilge, transom
wells and livewells before leaving the boat landing.
•Do not move live fish away from a boat landing.
A live fish is a fish still in water. Drain water from
all containers holding fish including pails, coolers,
livewells and bait buckets. Frozen water bottles or ice
can be used in place of water to keep fish fresh.
more information, contact president Phil Skoug
at 715-218-1299.
The Central Wisconsin River Series holds
three qualifier bass tournaments and a two-day
championship that is open to the public. The tour
is a team event. Go to www.wisconsinriverseries.
com for more information, entry forms and rules.
The dates of the remaining qualifier tourneys
are: June 28, Lake Nokomis; and Sept. 6, Lake
Mohawksin. The championship tournament will
be held Sept. 27-28 on Lake Mohawksin.
Tomahawk Fishing Unlimited will hold
its annual Kids’ Fishing Contest on Saturday,
July 19, from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. at Veterans
Memorial Park in Tomahawk. The event is free
and kids receive a free lunch and box of bait.
There will be prizes for first-through-third in each
age group (10 and under and 11-15 years) and
fish species (northern, walleye, perch, bass,
bluegill).
Before you drop your line,
check out the Fishing Report and
Jed Buelow’s ‘fishing blog’
at www.tomahawkleader.com
•Minnows also have the potential to spread AIS,
and only those purchased from in-state bait dealers can
be used. Unused minnows may be transported from a
body of water alive and used again on the same body of
water or on a different waterbody – if no lake or river
water or other fish were added to the container. If lake
or river water or fish were added to the container, the
minnows can be taken home and only used again on the
same body of water.
•Special regulations apply for trapping minnows.
Minnow harvesting is closed on VHS affected waters
that include Lake Michigan (including Green Bay),
Lake Superior, the Mississippi River, Lake Winnebago,
Fox River from Lake Winnebago to Green Bay and
all connecting waters upstream to the first barrier
impassible to fish. On other waters, minnows may be
harvested for personal use but may not be transported
away alive from the water.
By following these rules, we can all help
keep the waters so many of us enjoy healthy for
generations to come. For more information on
efforts to stop the spread of AIS, contact Lumberjack
Aquatic Invasive Species coordinator John Preuss at
715-369-9886 or [email protected].

5k, 10k, half-marathons,
marathons, fun runs aplenty
By Tom Colstad
Tomahawk Leader Sports Editor
[email protected]
For those who like to stay in shape, the
Tomahawk area has lots of activities to pursue.
People who enjoy biking will find the
Hiawatha Trail on the abandoned Milwaukee
Road railroad bed from SARA Park in Tomahawk
to the Lincoln County line near Lake Nokomis
(6.6 miles) to be a nice trip. The cyclist might
venture farther north on the Bearskin State
Trail (18 miles) that extends from the end of the
Hiawatha Trail to Minocqua. However, cyclists
over the age of 16 years will need a Wisconsin
state trail pass to use the Bearskin trail.
There also is a challenging mountain biking
trail system in the Underdown Recreation Area
near Irma that features several miles of singletrack trails traversing a steep, hilly landscape
(not recommended for novices). Cyclists are
also allowed to ride on the Underdown’s gentler
horse trails (must yield to horses) and Loop Road
(hilly).
A nice system of trails for biking is also
found in Tomahawk’s Bradley Park, located
along the shores of Lake Mohawksin.
People wishing to swim to fitness may
go to the Tomahawk Schools Complex for
morning lap swims three days a week (Monday,
Wednesday and Thursday) from 6 to 8 a.m. ($2/
person/lap swim or open swim) or open swims
(Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday)
from 3:30 to 5:30 p.m. The Tomahawk pool also
offers water exercise classes four times per week
on Monday (8-9 a.m.), Tuesday (7:30-8:30 a.m.),
Thursday (8-9 a.m.) and Friday (7:30-8:30 a.m.).
The Tomahawk Schools Complex also
has a weight room and running/walking
track available to the community from
6 to 8 a.m.
Tomahawk is famous for producing distance
and middle-distance runners, from high school
age champions to adults who competed in the
Boston Marathon. Area running opportunities
include the Pow Wow Days races, Don
Lintereur Memorial Run, No Frills Marathon
(Tomahawk to Minocqua), Rockin’ Tomahawk
5k/Half marathon and weekly fun runs of various
distances departing Memorial Park.
The annual Tomahawk Pow Wow Days
5k/10k runs take place Friday, July 4, coursing
through the city to the east and returning to
Veterans Memorial Park, followed by a fun run
(one mile). The fees for the race/fun run range
from $15 to $35, including either a cotton T-shirt
or a Dry-Fit shirt. The start time for the 10k is
8:30 a.m., followed shortly by the start of the
5k race. Chip/t-shirt pickup is from 6:45 to
8 a.m. The fun run is set to begin at 9:30 a.m.
Pre-registration is at www.active.com until
9 a.m. July 1. For more information, call event
organizer John Zuelsdorf at 715-453-8975.

Community Park, located north of Tomahawk on
County Road L. There will be a half marathon
starting at 8 a.m., with the 5k and 10k races
beginning at 9 a.m. and Mile Kids’ Fun Run at
10 a.m. Awards will be given to the overall male
and female champions, as well as the top three
finishers from each age/gender division. Entry

tandhtiming.com. For more information, contact
Shirley Derleth at [email protected].
The “No Frills Marathon” is scheduled for
Sunday, Aug. 31 and will follow the Bearskin
Trail from Tomahawk to Minocqua. The race
will start at 7 a.m. at the Nokomis Community
Park on County Road L and finish at the Bearskin
Trailhead behind the Minocqua Post Office. The

STROLL DOWN MEMORY LANE: while
viewing some of the rarest outboard
motors and boats left on the planet
during this year’s 35th annual Tomahawk
Nationals Antique Outboard Motor Show
held at SARA Park July 30 through
Aug. 2.
-Tomahawk Leader File Photo
World’s largest
antique outboard
boat motor show
idles into town
Some of the oldest and rarest outboard boat
motors left on the planet will be on display in
Tomahawk this summer as the Northwoods Chapter
of the Antique Outboard Motor Club hosts its
35th annual Tomahawk Nationals at SARA Park
July 30 through Aug. 2.
Vendors from across the country and globe
will gather in Tomahawk to take part in the fourday event, which includes the outboard boat motor
display located inside the SARA Park arena, as
well as a swap meet and plenty of races and time
trials featuring old motors taking place on Lake
Mohawksin just out back. Some of the earliest motors
and boats ever made (including the locally-built,
wood-frame “Tomahawk”) will be featured at the
event. Thousands of spectators are expected to idle
into SARA Park for the show, which also will feature
a Thursday evening water parade held in conjunction
with the Kwahamot Water Ski Show.
Event organizers invite the public to stop by
and take a stroll down memory lane while viewing
some of the old outdoor boat motors their parents
and grandparents once likely owned. The SARA
Park makeshift museum is open to the public and
admission is free. Spectators also are invited to view
the many races and time trials featuring a number of
antique boat motor categories.
Known as the largest antique outdoor motor
and boat show of its kind in the world, Tomahawk
Nationals is celebrating Mercury Outboard Motors
75th year as well as 35 years since the event was
started locally.
Whether taking part or stopping by for a
visit, the Tomahawk Nationals offers a rare look at
some of the rarest remnants remaining in outboard
motors and boats. For more information on this
year’s Tomahawk Nationals, contact Bob Dalle Ave,
president of the Northwoods Chapter of the AOMCI,

Great fishing in
Tomahawk area
According to the Department
of Natural Resources (DNR), about
1.4 million people buy fishing
licenses and the number of fishermen
swells significantly higher in the
summer when children under
16 years old (kids under 16 don’t
require a fishing license) are figured in.
Fishermen have ample angling
opportunities for walleye, northern
pike and bass on Tomahawk’s larger
bodies of water, including Lake
Nokomis, Lake Mohawksin, Lake
Alice, Somo Lake and the Spirit,
Jersey City and Willow flowages. All
of these have well-maintained boat
landings.
Lincoln County boasts nearly
150 lakes, with more than two-thirds
of those having public access. Of
those lakes, 35 have boat ramps,
a dozen can be reached via walkin trails and 41 are designated as
wilderness lakes in public ownership.
Fishermen wanting to avoid the
crowds at the better-known fishing
lakes can find solitude on the dozens
of backwoods lakes in the Harrison
Hills, located east of Tomahawk, or
the Underdown, south of Tomahawk
near Irma. Most of those smaller
lakes offer good panfishing.
Although not known for their trophy
game fish potential, some of these
gems occasionally yield a whopper
bass or northern pike.
Those anglers preferring to fish
flowing waters have several options
in the Tomahawk area.
The state’s largest river, the
Wisconsin, offers good fishing
opportunities for walleyes, and
smallmouth bass also are abundant
and offer the fisherman an exciting
hook-up and fight.
The area’s other river systems
(Spirit, Somo and Tomahawk) are
open for general fishing and provide
anglers with a plethora of game
fishing opportunities for walleye,
bass, northern pike and muskies.
For those seeking yet another
different fishing challenge, there is
some very respectable brook, brown
and rainbow trout fishing to be found
in the Prairie River as it runs from
Gleason to Merrill.
The state record brookie
(nearly 10 pounds) was taken from
the Prairie River near Gleason
about 65 years ago. The Prairie
offers some of the state’s best flyfishing opportunities on its broader
stretches.
There are scores of small
streams coursing through the
area, and most have brook trout
inhabiting portions of them. Fishing

Don’t move firewood
to protect against invasives
Firewood easily transports harmful pests and
other problems to trees at your favorite campsite.
Firewood that looks clean may actually be hiding
insects like emerald ash borer (EAB), gypsy moth or
the tiny spores of a tree-killing fungus like oak wilt.
Instead of taking firewood along on your next
camping trip or bringing some home with you from
far away, get your firewood where you’re going to use
it. Make sure it was produced from trees harvested
nearby.
As of June 1, 2014, if you are bringing wood to a
state property it must be: from within 10 miles of the
state property and from outside of a EAB quarantined
area in Wisconsin.
In the case of the Chequamegon-Nicolet National
Forest, the USDA out of Rhinelander, indicates the
firewood radius is 25 miles. The firewood restriction
is one way of slowing the spread of Emerald Ash
Borer, an exotic beetle from Asia that kills ash trees,
and other invasives. The EAV insect’s larva kills ash
trees by destroying the soft layer of wood just under
the bark.
Even easier, consider buying your firewood from
a Wisconsin certified dealer. This wood has been
treated to eliminate pests and diseases and is allowed
on state properties.
Many campgrounds now restrict firewood use.
Call ahead for specific information for your campsite.
Ti p s f o r y o u r c a m p i n g t r i p
Allowable firewood types: 1) Wisconsin certified
firewood, which has been processed to remove
harmful hitchhikers. 2) Dimensional lumber, such
as 2x4 or 4x6 scraps from a building project, will be
allowed on state property upon the discretion of park
staff. 3) Firewood that meets firewood regulations
described above.
Not allowed: 1) Full or partial pallets, skids or
slabs. This wood is fresh enough to harbor pests and
has traveled long distances. 2) Wood that is painted,

treated with preservatives or made up of a composite
of wood and glue such as chipboard and plywood.
Toxins are released when this is burned causing a
serious health hazard.
Most parks offer quality firewood for sale at a
reasonable price by the park’s friends group. Proceeds
return to the park’s budget and pay for things like
educational programs, buildings and picnic shelters,
seasonal naturalists and needed equipment. Private
sellers often have firewood for sale just outside of the
park as well.
Use up the firewood you have at each place
on your camping vacation. Do not leave any unused
wood behind and do not take it with you to another
destination.
When buying firewood, make sure the pieces are
dry and have either no bark or bark that is loose (a
sign that the wood is very dry). This will reduce the
threat of spreading diseases and your fire will be
easier to start.
Reduce your need for open fire by cooking over
gas or charcoal. Instead of an evening campfire,
explore new night-time activities like star-gazing or
viewing wildlife by flashlight.
If you are a camper from outside of Wisconsin,
please do not bring firewood with you. It will be
confiscated and if the wood is from a quarantined
area, you could be violating a federal law forbidding
hardwood movement of any kind out of your state or
county of residence. Federal fines up to $1,000 may
be imposed.
If you are a camper from Wisconsin and purchase
your firewood outside of the park, have a receipt ready
to show proof of that purchase. It will be checked for
location against firewood quarantined areas of the state.
You can buy firewood in, or just outside of,
almost every Wisconsin State Park. It is not, however,
available in this part of the state at the Willow Flowage
Scenic Waters Area.

Northwoods biking:
The Underdown
AIN14 GEN100
Lincoln and Oneida counties offer endless
miles of biking opportunities through their
mountain and touring bike exposition, “Trek
the Northwoods.”
In this case, the focus is on one of the
most challenging and scenic trails the area has
to offer: The Underdown.
Mountain bikers love this rugged terrain
that traverses secluded woodlands of Lincoln
County near Irma. This unique landscape
was created thousands of years ago after the
glaciers retreated from North America, leaving
behind hills, valleys, and lakes and streams.
Expect lots of twists, turns and curves for
some demanding riding.
The Underdown is located on Copper
Lake Avenue off County Roads J or H south of
Tomahawk.
Also don’t miss:
•The Hiawatha/Bearskin Trail. Formerly
rail beds, these trails are packed with granite
and perfect for family hiking and biking.
The Bearskin runs 18.3 miles south from
Minocqua to near Tomahawk; the Hiawatha
runs north from Tomahawk six miles. Access
the Hiawatha in SARA Park on West Somo
Avenue in Tomahawk, and points along North
Fourth Street and in the Nokomis area.
•Council Grounds State Park is located
along the Wisconsin River, just off State
Hwy. 107 near Merrill.
•Lincoln County forestlands.
•Timm’s Hill in Price County, Wisconsin’s
highest point. Off State Hwy. 86 near Ogema,
about 24 miles west of Tomahawk, left on
County Road C about half mile, left on Rustic
Road 62 about half mile.

A most delightful, multi-purpose outdoor
recreation area lies mere minutes from
Tomahawk along Hwy. 107 south of Irma.
The Grandfather Falls area offers hiking
along a half-mile segment of the Ice Age Trail
that parallels the Wisconsin River. The wellmarked path winds its way through a forest of
white pines, hemlocks and cedars.
The trail meanders over uneven ground and
amongst large boulders and rock formations

Those hikers interested in witnessing an

it in the pools below the several shallow falls
in this stretch of the river below Grandfather
Dam. Some people boulder-hop to likely
looking spots and try to entice the fish with
spinners, tube baits or worms. Others, armed
with fly rods and an assortment of artificial
flies, don waders and ply the wider expanses
of the river for smallies.
The rugged beauty of the descending river,
rocky outcrops and majestic pines is balanced
by the delicate splashes of color from trilliums,
violets, star flowers, cowslips, columbines and
an assortment of other wildflowers blooming
on the forest floor.
One also can expect to see a variety of
wildlife during an excursion to Grandfather
Falls. Deer, raccoons, hares, squirrels, ruffed
grouse, mallards, herons and bald eagles
frequent the area, as do dozens of species of
songbirds.
The Grandfather Falls section of the
Wisconsin River can be accessed either at the
Grandfather Dam parking lot or from a second
parking area located one-half mile farther
south off Hwy. 107.

Thrilla
on the
rib contest Aug. 9
By Jed Buelow
[email protected]
Sample some of the best barbecued
pork ribs the Northwoods has to offer at the
Tomahawk Lions Club’s seventh annual
Thrilla on the Grilla rib contest Saturday,
Aug. 9.
The mouthwatering baby back rib
cooking contest will feature around 10 local
teams competing for the title of baron of
bones and sultan of sauce. Grills are set up
right on the street downtown. Ticketholders
have the opportunity to indulge their taste
buds with samples from each contestant
and help decide which team takes home the
People’s Choice Award. Participants are also
treated to side fixing prepared by each team,
and plenty of corn on the cob and beverages
will be available.
While the big draw is the amazing ribs
offered at a great price, the event also serves
as a community picnic that benefits all of
Tomahawk. The Tomahawk Lions donate
100 percent of proceeds back to other nonprofit organizations. The club and the teams
competing in the rib cook-off have donated
tens of the thousands of dollars to Tomahawk
area volunteer organizations since the Thrilla
began.
The smell of a thousand racks of baby
back pork ribs grilling starts early Saturday in

Growing ATV trail
system offers ample
opportunity to ride
[email protected]
Those looking to get out and explore the wild side
of the greater Tomahawk area can now do so by ATV,
as a number of recently opened county roads and city
streets provide access to surrounding group trails.
ATV riders today can travel from downtown
Tomahawk to the Somo trail system to the west and
the Harrison Hills area to the east and beyond without
ever having to trailer machines. Add in all the amenities
and places to visit along the way for things like drinks
and food, and the expansive trail system that now exists
in the region offers an ideal year-round destination
for ATV enthusiasts and those looking to get out and
explore the great outdoors.
Serving as a central hub for the expanded multicounty trail system, most Tomahawk city streets have
been opened to ATVs (the exception is State Hwy. 86
that is made up of South Tomahawk Avenue and East
Somo Avenue) to provide access to businesses as well
as a designated route that runs through the city and
connects the north and south sides of town.
From the city, ATVs can head west using Leather
Avenue (CTH CC) to connect to the Somo ATV Club
trail system and additional routes that run all the way
out past Spirit Falls and into Rib Lake and Taylor
counties. Heading east from the city on CTH D or
CTH A provides access to the Harrison Hills trail
system as well as additional trails heading all the way
into Oneida and Langlade counties.
The expansive trail system can be accessed
from almost anywhere in the city with SARA Park
serving as a good starting point for those trailering their
machines. Access points also exist along club trails
throughout the region.
Some scenic ATV travel destinations to consider
checking out this summer include:
•Harrison Hills ATV Club trail system. Over 50
mostly wooded miles of ATV trails exist in the scenic
Harrison Hills and Gleason areas east of Tomahawk.
There are six access points to the trail system for those
not wanting to travel county roads, including at the
Clover Club and the Harrison Convenience Store. This
trail system connects with the city of Tomahawk as well
as trails in Oneida and Langlade counties.
•Lynne/Little Rice trail system. Located in the
southwestern Oneida County, this system offers 16
miles of woodland trails, 23 miles of connecting road
routes and 76 miles of open town roads. Some trailheads
include the Willow Flowage boat launch area and
Prairie Rapids Road in Nokomis. This system connects
to Nokomis ATV Club and Somo Area ATV Club trail
systems, which link to portions of northwestern Lincoln
County and Taylor County, and the city of Tomahawk.
The Somo Area ATV Club, Harrison Hills ATV
Club and Spirit Valley Riders ATV Club teamed up to
develop a combined map that shows area routes and
trails, as well as provides many of the do’s and don’ts to
proper trail riding. Trail maps are available at a number
of area businesses.
Rules of the road
•Always travel to the far right of paved roads
(not in the bike lanes in the city or gravel shoulders of
county roads) and never use ditches or right-of-ways
next to roads.
•Unless otherwise marked, the speed limit is
10 mph in the city and when within 100 feet of a
pedestrian or 150 feet of a residence. The speed limit
on county roads is 35 mph, unless otherwise marked.
•All ATVs used on roads or trails must display
current Wisconsin registration in the form of a license
plate displayed on the back of the machine.
•Trail users are reminded to always be mindful of
the hard work of club volunteers to maintain the trails
when out riding, and to respect the rights of the property
owners who graciously allow trails to cross their
property. Visit the Wisconsin Department of Natural
Resources website at dnr.wi.gov for more on safety tips
and ATV rules.
Consider checking out the new extended ATV trail
system in the area when visiting the area this summer.
It might just open up a different window into the
Northwoods just waiting to be explored.

Seven concerts
for seventh season
of Music on the River
By Kathy Tobin
[email protected]
The Wednesday night Music on the River
entertainment series has become a celebrated
part of each summer in Tomahawk. This year
planners have lined up seven concerts for the
seventh annual season.
Gather family and friends and pull up
chairs or spread out blankets around the
pavilion in Veterans Memorial Park, midweek
through July 30. The backdrop is the shore
of the Wisconsin River. People come by foot,
vehicle or boat. It’s not unusual to see a half
dozen or more pontoon boats tied up along the
shoreline.
Performances are from 6 to 8 p.m.
The shows are free and those attending are
encouraged to bring a picnic if they’d like.
Donations are welcomed, and help support the
continuing program.
In the event of bad weather, everything
is moved inside at SARA Park on West Somo
Avenue (except for the one night as noted).
This year’s remaining lineup includes:
•Wednesday, June 25 – The Jimmys. This
eight-piece band comes from Monticello, Wis.
They play blues and everything in between,
featuring horns, guitars, dynamic keys and a
fantastic rhythm section. In 2013 they earned
a number of honors from the Madison Area

The group also received the 2012 Best Swing/

Music Industry (WAMI).
•Wednesday, July 2 – Hip Pocket. Back
by crowd request, this band is a seasoned
group of musicians who come from northern
and central Wisconsin. They feature a
powerful 10-member band with striking lead
and harmony vocals, a blazing four-piece
horn section and a rockin’ rhythm section.
Hip Pocket plays your favorite classic rock,
R&B, contemporary and even some Cajun and
country rock hits.
•Wednesday, July 9 – The Del Rays.
This four-piece band comes from Oshkosh.
They play classic rock and roll featuring
vocals, keyboard, guitar and percussion. They
are known for their ability to connect with the
crowd in a way that keeps them involved all
through their performance. They feature the
classical hits of the 50’s, 60’s and 70’s.
•Wednesday, July 16 – Reilly. This fourpiece group hails from Milwaukee and they play
a unique blend of Celtic rock and traditional
Irish tunes. Multi-talented you will hear fiddle,
guitar, banjo, whistle, harmonica, mandolin,
drums, brass and dynamic vocals. A quote that
describes their music says, “Energetic, handclapping and foot stomping music.”
•Wednesday, July 23 – Copper Box.
Another returning Music on the River favorite,
in fact the concert series’ most requested
group. Calling Oshkosh home, this extremely
talented and high energy four-piece band
features a blues rock, Americana, polka, Cajun
and Zydeco twist to their music. They feature
a “great baritone and tenor sax gal and a hot
accordion man.” The recipient of the WAMI

Award in recent years. Danny Jerabek has
appeared nationally on the Today Show. They
travel extensively throughout the Midwest.
•Wednesday, July 30 – Mamas Little
Hippies. Coming from Eagle River, this group
features a wide variety of music with most from
“the Woodstock era of the late 60’s and early
70’s. Described as having incredible vocals
with guitar, drums and strings, it’s termed a
night of music to remember to wrap up the
2014 season. (In case of bad weather, music
moves inside the Tomahawk School District.)

All aboard.
Take the whole family on a trip back to the
late 1800s, when you ride on a vintage steam train,
the famed Lumberjack Steam Train. Sit in a rare
cupola caboose as you travel to an actual site of a
Northwoods logging camp.
The “4-spot” Steam Locomotive, built in 1916,
pulls two all-steel passenger coach cars, an open
air observation car and three cabooses. It is the
only “prairie” style steam locomotive operating in
Wisconsin. Visitors board the Lumberjack at the 1880’s
Soo Line Depot, located one-quarter mile west of the
junction of Hwys. 8 and 32, Laona. Train tickets can
be purchased inside the depot, just as people did at
the turn of the century.
A ticket on the Lumberjack Steam Train takes
you out to “Camp 5,” the site of an old logging camp.
Later it became the site of the Lumber Company
Farm. You’ll find some of the old buildings that
were a part of the Lumber Company Farm. There is
the old Hog Barn that is now the Petting Corral, the
Blacksmith Shop that is now a part of the Museum,
and the Old Slaughter House. In the distance are the
old Boarding House and several original barns, as
well as the “Woods Boss’s House.”
Your ticket is all-inclusive, with the round-trip
train ride and admission into the Logging Camp
Complex of historic and natural attractions, including
the Logging Museum and Blacksmith Shop, Green
Treasure Forest Tour, Animal Barn and Corral,
Nature Center, Cracker Barrel Store and Choo Choo
Hut Restaurant.
The train leaves rain or shine through Aug. 23 at
11 a.m., noon, 1 and 2 p.m.
Other highlights for 2014 include a Cowboy
Reenactment July 12 and Oct. 4, with cowboy
re-enactors portraying a wild west train robbery,
complete with period costumes involving cowboys,
bandits, a preacher, mountain men and card sharks.
A group will form a posse that brings the bandits
to justice, or do they? There’s also a Timberworks
Lumberjack Show, July 19; and Fall Festival
Sept. 20, 27 and Oct. 4.
For more information, call 715-674-3414 or
