Green Lake’s Downtown Dynamic Duo

By Jan White
Stylish, fun, and welcoming describe
both Sugar Lips and Endurance, side
by side retail stores in downtown
Green Lake. At Sugar Lips, 509 Mill
Street, you may read a daily paper
while sipping an excellent Wisconsinroasted Alterra coffee or a specialty tea
and indulging in a pastry. You may also
use your laptop by the fireplace while
sitting on the leather sofa or chair,
relax with friends at a booth or bistro
table, or sit at the coffee and wine bar
to chat with the friendly baristas. Pick
up a gift, a greeting card, or a bag of
coffee on the way out.
Next door, Endurance, 511 Mill Street,
is a full-service floral shop, which is
also brimming with dazzling gift items
and home décor. Staff can handle all
floral orders, large and small, with
fresh ideas and skill. You may call in
your floral needs 24/7, and the cooler
is filled with gorgeous flowers available
arranged or by the stem.
Staunch supporters of the local scene,
Sue Ellen and John Bloch, owners of
Bloch’s Farm on State Road 23, boldly
brought these two new shops into the
downtown. “The whole community
Check out our website
for upcoming events
and seminars:
www.blochsfarm.com
will profit from additional retail
offerings, which attract customers,”
Sue Ellen explains. She continues,
“There are no competitors in retail.
They enhance each other. The more
retail businesses you’ve got, the more
business you’ll get.”
Sugar Lips opened April 15, 2010. The
vision was to have Bloch’s Farm’s flower
shop, which had been seasonal, move
to a year-round location. The building,
a former restaurant, was in move-in
condition, and lent itself for use as
a café as well. Sugar Lips began as a
floral shop and coffee house, and its
name came from the office manager’s
daughter, who bears the nickname.
Her picture hangs in the store.
Business was brisk right from the start,
and the Blochs continue to express
gratitude for terrific local and visitor
support. As a result, the flower shop
needed more space and the coffee
house more seating, and there was a
demand for increased gifts of all kinds,
too.
When the building next door, most
recently occupied by Green Lake
Mercantile, became available, the
Blochs saw an opportunity to meet
these needs. Chandeliers were hung,
merchandise was stylishly displayed,
a huge cooler was added, and
Endurance opened for business Labor
Day weekend 2010. It was named by
John, as he sees the current economy
as a challenge for all, requiring people
to endure to get by to be where they
are today. Price points are, therefore,
kept low and affordable for “fantastic,
fun things,” which is how Sue Ellen
describes the items available.

Sugar Lips now offers its customers
“food, drink, and humor,” according
to Sue Ellen, and many Fair Trade
and organic products. They also have
a full liquor license, and serve daily
specials, which may include unique
cocktails, wine tasting, or makeyour-own Bloody Marys. There’s even
outdoor seating, reminiscent of an
Italian bistro. Sugar Lips is available
for special events, private functions,
and business gatherings.
Both Sugar Lips and Endurance are
divisions of Bloch’s Farm, just named
to the list of the top 100 national
garden centers for its third year.
While the Farm is open from April
through October, both shops are open
year-round, seven days a week. Lee
Katherine Baird is visual merchandiser
and creative director for both shops.

Big Adventures
Big Green Lake has drawn people to
its shores beginning with Winnebago
Indians in the 1600s. The deepest
inland lake in Wisconsin (237 feet),
Big Green Lake remains the jewel of
the region. Its size (7.3 miles long by
2 miles wide) and deep clear waters
are excellent for boating, water skiing,
swimming, fishing, and watching the
sun rise and set. Sip your coffee lakeside
in the quiet of the morning. Take a dip
to cool off on a hot afternoon. Cruise
the shoreline in the early evening.
Create an adventure to remember on
Green Lake!

FISHING Fishing
Whether fishing from shore on a
summer day or drilling a hole through
the frozen lake, kids and adults like
the deep clear waters of Big Green
Lake for its excellent fishing. A variety
of species native to Wisconsin inhabit
the lake, including bluegill, brown
trout, cisco, lake trout, muskellunge,
northern pike, perch, small- and
largemouth bass, walleye, and white
bass. Population management, water
productivity, fish growth potential,
high minimum length requirements,
and seasonal regulations allow the
fish in Green Lake to reach large sizes.
A fishing license is required. Check
with local bait shops for tips, or take
advantage of available guide services in
the area (listed at visitgreenlake.com).

By Michelle Van Kirk
Located on the shores of beautiful
Green Lake, Heidel House Resort
& Spa offers an oasis of relaxation
complemented by impeccable service.
It is a wonderful year-round destination
where you can unwind, slow down, and
recharge. In the summer, the grounds
are beautifully landscaped, and paved
trails lead from one destination to
another. Take a swim or sunbathe by
the outdoor swimming pool, or play a
match of tennis. If golf is your game,
there are 99 holes of challenging golf
just minutes away.
After your day’s activities, allow
yourself enough time to relax and
unwind with a soothing treatment
at Evensong Spa, offering a unique
blend of natural and high technology
services and products. Service options
include facials, wraps, full-body
massages, manicures, pedicures, and
more. Unique to Evensong Spa is the
central indoor labyrinth. A labyrinth
is a path; a contemplative tool for
personal, psychological, and spiritual
transformation.
If your trip to Heidel House Resort &

any time of the year is a great time for
family reunions or work gatherings.

Not only are there many options
for activities at the resort, there are
also many for dining. The flagship

summer, even more fun is added when
New England Lobster Bakes and Chef’s
Wine Pairings take place lakeside on
the Grey Rock lawn. The BoatHouse
Pub, located on the first level of the
main lodge, offers a casual, nautical
atmosphere, and seating on the patio
during the summer. The Sunroom
is the third dining option, serving
breakfast, lunch, and room service
daily. It is appropriately named because
of its panoramic views of the lake. If
you save room for dessert, stop at the

Golf
With four distinctive courses—the
Golf Courses of Lawsonia, Mascoutin
Golf Club, Scharenberg’s White Lake
Golf Resort, and Tuscumbia Country
Club—the Green Lake area is a golfer’s
paradise.
The Golf Courses of Lawsonia has two
contrasting 18-hole championship
courses. Most of the holes on the Links
Course were built as replicas of English
and Scottish holes, similar to those
played in the British Open—gently
rolling terrain; bent grass fairways;
multi-tiered, elevated greens; about 90
steep bunkers; and deep rough. The
Woodlands Course has densely treelined fairways guarded by about 80
traps, radical elevation, and large bent
grass greens, which are well bunkered.
Recognized as one of 2010 Golfweek’s
Best Courses You Can Play, winner of
Wisconsin 2008 Best Golf Course of
the Year, and rated in America’s Best
PRINCETON
WISCONSIN
by Golf Digest, The Golf Courses of
Lawsonia is on the historic grounds
of the Green Lake Conference Center,
just west of downtown Green Lake on
Highway 23.
Once the site of a Native American
Indian village, Mascoutin Golf
Club has 27 holes; 18 were carved
through century-old trees in 1975,
and an additional 9 holes opened in
1999. Rated One of the State’s Top 20
Courses by GolfWisconsin.com and
Midwest Golfing Magazine, it features
plush fairways, 80 bunkers, large
undulating greens, and water hazards.
North of Green Lake on County A off
Highway 49.
Carved out of 200+ acres of glacier
land, Scharenberg’s White Lake Golf
Resort is nestled among hills, woods,
and ponds. The 18-hole course features
significant elevation changes, dog legs,
sand traps, and water hazards, and
is just a short drive from Green Lake
between Montello and Princeton, off
Highway 23.
At over 100 years old, Tuscumbia
Country Club is the oldest golf course
in Wisconsin. 18 holes provide
a challenging round with tight
fairways, demanding greens, and
rolling landscape, all surrounded by
thick rough, evergreens, maples, and
towering oaks. Tuscumbia additionally
has a 9-hole Family Links executive
course that provides the entire family
with fun. Located on Illinois Avenue in

JOHNNY CROW’S
A Must-Stop for Every Antique Lover
By Jan White
“It tells a story,” explains Johnny
Crow’s owner Bonnie MacLagan,
describing what she loves about
each antique in her Princeton shop.
Bonnie has a strong sense of value
in ownership of antiques. “They
can be passed down,” she explains,
adding, “People value them more
and take pride in family pieces.”
Yielding to the current interest in
“green” living, she quips, “Help
recycle; buy antiques!”
In Wisconsin since 1990, she enjoys
a friendship with the other antique
dealers in Princeton. “We send each
other business,” Bonnie says. Located
on the corner of State Road 23 and
Water Street, Johnny Crow’s is easy
to find.
Bonnie notes, “You want your
customers to be happy.” Having
hand-selected her inventory, she
adds, “I can answer all their
questions.” She’ll search for a
customer’s requested piece as well.
“Antiquing has been my whole life.”
Originally from Gurnee, Illinois,
then a farming community, Bonnie
enjoyed the rural lifestyle, including
barn dances. Her father was a
custom cabinetmaker who built
their home and most of its furniture.
This heritage exposed her to quality
craftsmanship at an early age.
In addition, Bonnie’s best friend’s
mother was an antiques dealer, and
the two girls would accompany her
as she sought out treasures. “We
were like little pickers,” she recalls,
adding, “We also would scavenge
on days when residents could put
out large items.” Even today, Bonnie
says, “The best part is going on the
hunt.” That’s one way she acquires
New!
the varied and wonderful items in
her store. She also assesses items in
people’s homes, and may purchase a
few pieces or a whole estate.
At Johnny Crow’s, you’ll find
handsome displays of cupboards,
wooden boxes and trunks, unusual
art, baskets, chests, lamps, plates,
tables, rugs, and home and garden
décor. “Garden items are a big
part of my business,” Bonnie says.
All merchandise is well-labeled,
and is ready for the buyer’s home,
not needing cleaning or repair. She
will also arrange for delivery and
layaway.
Bonnie’s personal favorites include
memorabilia of Princeton, Black
Americana
collectibles,
and
cupboards, noting, “I like things that
are functional.” And the store name?
Its origin is Johnny Crow’s Garden
by L. Leslie Brooke, a charming
1904 rhyming and illustrated book.
“I love children’s books,” Bonnie
says. She also encourages parents to
bring their children in and introduce
them to the world of antiques,
believing antiques are meant to be
enjoyed and lived with.
Visit Johnny Crow’s at 103 W. Water
Street, Princeton, year-round, 10:00
a.m.–5:00 p.m. or by appointment.
Open seven days a week April
through

the Middle Years Program (grades 7–
10). It will receive notification in 2011
regarding approval of its Primary Years
Program (grades 4K–6).
An Environment of Excellence
For decades, most people associated
America’s small towns with one-room
schoolhouses, and, true to that image,
Green Lake is a “one-roof” schoolhouse.
Proudly referred to as a public school
that feels like a private school, students
from 4-year-old kindergarten through
12th grade attend school in the same
building. Divided by separate wings, this
convenient arrangement encourages a
family-friendly, community atmosphere.
Smaller is Better
Research supports that smaller,
personalized class sizes in the lower
grades reap benefits. The school district
provides smaller classes throughout the
entire education experience. Teacherstudent ratio is the lowest in the area,
allowing achievement to be closely
monitored, and personal attention is
provided.
4K–12
International Baccalaureate
World School
With the challenges of a new world
economy, Green Lake has chosen a
progressive path. The school district
has embarked on a goal to become the
first 4K–12 International Baccalaureate
World School (IB) in Wisconsin. The
school district is currently offering the
Diploma Program (grades 11–12), and
What does IB offer? IB is for every student,
and provides a style of learning that
encourages thoughtful understanding of
what is being studied. Expectations are
high, and students enjoy the challenging
approaches that encourage a deeper
understanding of a subject and active
participation in the learning process.
Students no longer ask, “Why do I have
to learn this?” Each lesson, at all levels,
is clearly defined and made relevant to
their world.
Enriched and Innovative
Along with quality academics, the
curriculum emphasizes health and
wellness, athletics, and the arts.
While many districts are cutting nonessentials, Green Lake elementary
students participate in the maximum
recommendation for physical education,
vocal music, band, art, and computer
education. In addition, foreign language
(Spanish) begins in grade 2.
At the middle and high school level,
students are very involved. 75 percent
of students are involved in a minimum
of three extracurricular activities. The
philosophy is that while in middle and
high school, students should have the
opportunity to play a sport if they wish,
and therefore, there are no cuts. The
performing arts are valued, and from
grade 5, students may begin to play
Connecting students with the lake,
its surrounding area, and its place in
the world, The Green Lake Global and
Environmental Academy—a lakecentered charter school—opened in
September 2008 with twenty 7th and 8th
grade students. Teachers have worked
diligently to develop an integrated and
exciting curriculum for this innovative
program. The District recently adopted
the Earth Partnership in Schools model of
outdoor education. This model integrates
outdoor activities into all classes, 4K–12.
Impressive Results
The adage, “good things come in small
packages,” certainly holds true. Green
Lake High School graduates are a
measure of the success of the school
district—85 percent of graduates
continue to higher education. Alumni
have enrolled in undergraduate and
graduate work at institutions such as
the University of Wisconsin-Madison,
Amherst, Cornell, Duke, Northwestern,
University of Chicago, Stanford, and
Purdue, to name a few. The district has
a 0 percent dropout rate.
In a beautiful, serene lake environment,
the Green Lake School District has
distinguished itself by providing a
world-class educational experience for its
students and the community. For more
information, phone (920) 294-6411 or

Leadership, helps existing churches
recapture health and vitality through
serving their communities. The program
has helped more than 300 pastors
rediscover joy in their vocation.
GREEN LAKE CONFERENCE CENTER
By Jean Cornelius
(GLCC) is a unique element in the
area’s landscape. The property was
first discovered by Winnebago Indians
in the early 1800s, and later inhabited
by pioneer settlers. In 1888 during a
storm, Chicago socialite Jessie Lawson’s
steamboat landed at Lone Tree Point
on the north shore. She was so taken
with its beauty that she and husband
Victor, owner and publisher of the
Chicago Daily News, returned to
purchase 10 acres. Within 12 years,
they developed Lone Tree Farm to 1,074
acres with 2 1/2 miles of shoreline.
Their working farm included prizewinning herds of Guernsey and Jersey
cows. European-inspired stone walls,
bridges, and water towers still stand
today, their designs and meticulous
construction methods the vision of
Jessie. The largest of her water towers,
the 140-foot Judson Tower, has 121
spiral stairs to an observation area at
the top. With its lighted cross, it stands
as a landmark today.
Jessie died in 1914 and Victor in 1925.
The estate was sold to the H.O. Stone
Company, a Chicago real estate firm
which in 1928–1929 built an 18-hole
golf course and an 81-room hotel, now
Roger Williams Inn. After a Depressionera bankruptcy, creditors ran the estate
as a resort until it was purchased by
the Northern Baptist Assembly in
1943 as the national training center for
that denomination. Dr. Luther Wesley
Smith encouraged this purchase, and
it was made possible with financial
help from James L. Kraft of Kraft Foods
and other Northern Baptist leaders.
Today, as a premier Christian
conference and leadership training
center, GLCC partners with Christian
denominations to build God’s kingdom.
The focus is on training pastors and
new church planters, family camps,
and retreats.
One of the programs, the Assessment
Center for Church Planters, helps
people discern if they are called to
be the lead pastor of a new church.
Over 500 candidates from around the
country have been assessed, resulting
in more than 300 new church plants.
GLCC serves more than 4,000 people
a year at family conferences and family
reunions, and more than 8,000 kids
at youth camps. Excellent meeting
space and accommodations (premium
hotel rooms/suites, lakefront and forest
houses, dorms, cabins, and campsites)
are available for rental groups of up to
1,000. Two additional dining rooms
are located within the main dining
room. Ideal for small-group breakfasts,
luncheons, and banquets, each seats
over 80. With 30,000 square feet of
meeting space and full dining and
banquet food service, many options
exist to meet conference needs.
The center’s hub of activity, Kraft
Centre, includes a registration lobby,
Bauer Dining Room (buffet-style
meals), and Ollie’s Place Internet café.
A variety of recreational opportunities
include boating and lake swimming,
tower climbing, disc golf, biking,
hiking, basketball, tennis, volleyball,
horseshoes, arts & crafts, soccer, and
shopping at Worldwide Gifts.
The Golf Courses of Lawsonia are rated
4 1/2 stars by Golf Digest magazine.
The Links, rated #3 overall golf
courses in Wisconsin and #55 “Classic”
courses in the United States, is defined
by tall fescue grass, raised greens, and
daunting bunkers. The Woodlands has
tree-lined fairways, challenging water
hazards, and a fun par-three cliff hole
with a 65’ drop.

I so love summer that I begin
anticipating it the first day of winter.
From that day, I watch the days slowly
crawl from short to longer until my
personal favorite arrives: Summer
Solstice. I’ve been told I should
consider moving to the equator, but
that’s a bit complicated, so I’ll settle
for what Wisconsin has to offer in the
way of longer-than-winter days, and
celebrate the season at its zenith. While
officially summer arrives on Tuesday,
June 21 at 1:16 p.m. EDT, Green
Lake’s 24th Annual Summer Solstice
event, sponsored by the Green Lake
Chamber of Commerce, is scheduled
for 4:00 p.m. Saturday, June 18.
“We plan to do the usual because the
event has been extremely successful.
However, we always do a bit of fine
tuning,” says Ellen Koeppen, executive
director of Green Lake Chamber of
Commerce.
Packed with family-oriented activities,
Summer Solstice features fun and
games for all ages. The lineup of
popular traditional activities and
contests will include bed races, adult
tricycle races, a pajama contest, and a
Medallion Hunt.
The 9th Annual Bed Races are open
to everyone. This particularly favorite
event involves two beds, which are
provided along with a box containing a
bottom and top sheet and a night gown.
Teams of three make the bed, then, with
one dressed in the night gown riding,
the other two push the bed down the
race course and back to the finish line.
The beds, with no power steering or
brakes, require skill to stay on course.
Simple pleasures abound. There will
be an ice cream sale while kettle corn
will be available at the food stand.
T-shirts, face painting, horse and
carriage rides, and clowns add to the
already festive ambience. Local DJ, The
Music Captain, will liven the night,
presiding over kids’ contests such as
hula hoop and limbo competitions.
The Medallion Hunt begins at 6:00
p.m. with clues given hourly until
9:00 p.m. or until the Medallion is
found. Everyone is welcome to come
in pajamas for the PJ parade. After
the parade, the Cutest PJs and Cutest
Slippers contest begins.
For more information about Summer
Solstice, call the Green Lake Area
Chamber of Commerce at (800)
253-7354 or (920) 294-3231, email
There’s plenty of tasty food, so
bring your appetite. The Chamber
of Commerce will prepare and sell
their
mouthwatering
traditional
food fare: bison burgers, brats, and
hotdogs.
The celebration wraps with the Summer
Solstice Raffle and a Howl at the
Moon contest. Last year, raffle prizes
included blow-up tubes, dinners,
hotel stays, and 14 baskets filled with
surprises. The Howl at the Moon
finale could scare off a pack of wolves
as the entire audience participates.
With that, summer officially arrives in
Green Lake.

GREEN LAKE
Festival
OF MUSIC
Offers Great Music for a Great Summer!
BY LELIA ZIEBELL
“We are so excited to have won the
Green Lake Magazine 2010 Readers’
Poll for Favorite Attraction,” says
Jeannette Kreston, Executive Director
of Green Lake Festival of Music. “We
are so glad people are enjoying the
wonderful music we have to offer
residents and visitors.”
Top-quality performances are planned
for June 11–July 24 in a variety of
venues, from the intimacy and warmth
of Green Lake’s Thrasher Opera House
to the historic local Boston Barn.
Having received state recognition with
a Governor’s Award for the Arts, as well
as being featured on regular statewide
radio broadcasts and worldwide
webcasts by Wisconsin Public Radio
and Chicago’s WFMT radio network,
the Green Lake Festival of Music
continues to grow and flourish. Over
its 32-year history, the Green Lake
Festival has continued to develop
its mainstay, a series of summertime
concerts featuring internationally
renowned ensembles and soloists
performing classical string and wind
music, supplemented by cabaret, jazz,
and other popular styles. Since 2006,
an important free series of informal
concerts coordinated with programs at
local libraries, the Thomas E. Caestecker
Family Series, has introduced children
and adults to music.
In addition, two other well-established
programs will be offered again.
Stephen Alltop returns to serve as
musical director of the Festival’s Choral
Institute from July 21–24, which is a
wonderful interactive experience open
to amateur and professional adult
singers alike. The ASCAP-winning
ensemble, the Amelia Piano Trio, will
also be on hand once again this year to
run the Festival’s two-week Chamber
Music Workshop from July 1–15, an
invaluable experience open to teens
and young adults.
“This Festival serves as a great source
of musical and cultural enrichment
for the Green Lake County area,”
then-Wisconsin Governor Jim Doyle
wrote in a letter celebrating the 25th
anniversary of the Festival in 2004.
“The Green Lake Festival of Music
fosters a lively spirit of community
involvement through a wide variety of
musical performances.”

GREEN LAKE SAILING SCHOOL
Allows Your Family to
Experience “Green Energy”
By Bur Zeratsky
Sailing is a great way to slow down
and enjoy the simplicity and beauty of
Green Lake. Of course, it doesn’t hurt
that sailing is a “green” activity that
also happens to be a lot of fun. It is
very satisfying to hang your hand over
the edge and realize that the movement
you are experiencing is made possible
by harnessing the power of the wind.
While it is true that “green energy”
is all the rage, sailors have been
quietly putting the wind to work for
centuries.
Do you belong to one of those busy
families who think they don’t have
the time to learn the craft of sailing?
Perhaps that was true in the past
when the Green Lake Sailing School’s
primary course offering consisted
of a single, eight-week session each
summer. But, fortunately, today the
school’s course offerings have been
modified and expanded with today’s
busy family schedules in mind. While
the traditional multi-week session is
still popular, especially for seasonal
and year-round residents, many
families, including those on vacation,
are discovering the convenience of
our weekly mini-clinics, which cover
three days in a single week. Others
have enjoyed the ultimate flexibility
of private lessons, which are taught
at times that are convenient for busy
families.
The Green Lake Sailing School, a
non-profit organization, has taught
thousands of people to sail on the
waters of Big Green Lake over the past
50 years. They offer lessons to suit every
skill level, from first-time beginners
to experienced sailors looking for a
refresher course. Courses taught by
nationally certified instructors are
offered for children and adults as
well as mixed age and family groups.
In addition to regular multi-week
sessions, they also offer weekly “miniclinics” as well as private lessons, in
their boats or yours, and even limited
sailboat rentals by the day or week.
The Green Lake Sailing School is
located on County Highway A, on the
North end of Sunset Park. For more
information or to make a reservation,
visit greenlakesailingschool.com or
Bur Zeratsky is President of Green Lake Sailing School.

JULY
Come to Green Lake to celebrate an
old-fashioned 4th of July with fun
activities for the whole family. From
food to games, music, a parade, boats,
and, of course, fireworks, this is one
4th of July you will remember.
Start with the pancake breakfast at the
American Legion Hall from 7:00 to
11:00 a.m. At Playground Park starting
at 2:00 p.m., kids can visit the petting
zoo or enjoy a pony ride. You can
test your skill at the Sink the Bismark
challenge by trying to hit golf balls into
a rowboat on the water. From 3:00 to
5:00 p.m., participate in plastic duck
races down the dam. Quench your
appetite at the Green Lake Kiwanis
food and beverage booth, and enjoy
live entertainment on stage.

A Day Full
of Activities
BY JILL CARLSON
Deacon Mills Park also features an
entertainment stage, and food and
beverages will be served by the Green
Lake Rotary Club beginning at 2:00
p.m., including funnel cakes, corn on
the cob, and kettle corn. Additionally,
there will be a 4th of July novelty
booth, including flags, pins, and other
festive items.
At 2:45 p.m., the decorated Boat
Parade begins at Sunset Park. All boats
are invited to participate, and the
theme this year is TV shows. Boats line
up and follow the lead boat on a route
that will pass the Heidel House Resort
and finish in front of Angel Inn where
the boats disperse.
Buy fresh produce and baked goods
from local vendors at the Farmers’
Treasures from the Past Await Your Discovery
Market from 1:00 to 4:00 p.m., and
mark your spot along Mill Street before
5:00 p.m. for the Hometown Parade,
which goes through downtown Green
Lake. The parade features floats, bands,
classic cars, clowns, fire trucks, and
much more.
At dusk, a spectacular fireworks display
is launched from two barges in Dartford
Bay. As the fireworks explode, their
colorful light reflects off the lake. The
best view of the fireworks is at Deacon
Mills Park or along the shoreline to
Hattie Shorewood Campground, and
even better, watch from a boat on Big
Green Lake.
The Green Lake Area Chamber is solely
responsible for funding the fireworks
so donations are appreciated and are
tax deductible. Checks should be made
out to the Green Lake Fund and sent
to the Green Lake Area Chamber, P.O.
Box 337, Green Lake, WI 54941.

Running through the heart of Berlin,
the Fox River linked the Mississippi
and St. Lawrence Rivers and served
as a trailway for Marquette and Joliet
during their exploration of the St.
Lawrence waterway. The need for a
road from Fond du Lac to Stevens Point
with a Fox River crossing led to the
founding of Berlin in 1846. It became
a transfer point after the construction
of a bridge and road to Stevens Point
were completed in 1849, and was
again a transfer point when a railroad
connection with Milwaukee via Ripon
opened in 1858. Eventually, fur and
leather factories sprang up, utilizing
both the river and railroad for produce
distribution.
Today, the Fox River runs through
the center of the community and
acres of maintained parks. Berlin
provides ample recreational activities
for outdoor enthusiasts, while those
who prefer the indoors can peruse its
historical downtown.
Berlin supplied goods and services for
its farmland development, handled
farm produce, was a wholesale center
for trade, and was a center for retail
trade. It also had a variety of serviceoriented businesses and factories; two
in particular drew state and regional
attention: cranberry production and
granite quarries. Utilizing the Fox River’s
marshland, Berlin became the center
of the cranberry-growing boom in
the 1870s, which turned into a
permanent part of the region’s
agriculture, while the granite beds east
of the Fox River provided most of the
jobs in Berlin between 1883 and 1916.
Since 1984, Mike’s Bike Shop (117 East
Huron Street) has provided quality
bicycle sales and professional service
to its customers.
Field Pharmacy Card & Gift (135137 West Huron Street) has a fullservice pharmacy and an extensive
gift department featuring Vera Bradley,
Pandora, Fenton, and more.
A full-service liquor store, Malchetske’s
Liquor & Video (265 Broadway) has a
large selection of fine wine, liquor, and
beer, and a complete video department.
Quality boarding and personalized pet
care have been provided at Peterson’s
Happiness Acres (N2106 County Road
XX) since 1996.

FOX RIVER DAYS
BERLIN’S FOX RIVER DAYS EVENT CHANGES,
BUT KEEPS FUN INTACT
By Jan White
With a new location and date (a
weekend earlier), Berlin’s fun-inthe-sun festival launches plans for
its 9th Annual Fox River Days, July
8-9. Organizer Mary Lou Neubauer
ensures the new venue, Riverside Park
on Berlin’s northwest side, will be
terrific, and adds, “It’ll be the same
small-town festivities.”
The 40-acre park already has many
amenities which had to be brought
to the previous location: shelters,
restrooms, a basketball court, picnic
area, and a sandbox. And there’s plenty
of parking and good lighting as well.
What’s more, there’s easy access to
the Fox River, so in addition to the
ever-popular duck races sponsored
by the local chapter of the Boys and
Girls Club, boating activities may be
included in the schedule of events.
With more space than in the past,
planners are looking to include a
craft fair and expand the children’s
attractions. Booths run by the
nonprofit and service organizations in
town offer information and/or great
food, and the Knights of Columbus
and Kiwanis members put on the
Doug Davis Memorial Fish Fry on
Friday evening. Bands will keep you
entertained both Friday and Saturday
nights, and you can expect nonstop
fun for all ages.
Proceeds from the two-day event
benefit
the
city’s
Riverfront
Improvement Initiative. The Fox River
Days Foundation Committee thanks
its many sponsors for past support, and
welcomes new sponsors. Sponsorship
is available at varying levels, and may
come from businesses or individuals.
For more information, contact Mary
Lou Neubauer at (920) 290-2695 or

By Jean Cornelius
If you need a tune-up for your existing
bike or it’s time to treat yourself to
a new made-to-order one, look no
further than Mike’s Bike Shop at 117 E.
Huron Street in Berlin. With 27 years
of sales and experience, Mike Radke
and his wife Laurie are ready to get
you riding!
Common sense and a thorough
understanding of the mechanical
aspects of bikes is the key to Mike’s
success. He learned good business
practices and developed his mechanical
aptitude as a kid when he worked
at his parents’ business in Berlin—
Arrow Service Center. He started by
dismantling clocks and learning to
repair them. “When I was in 7th grade,”
Mike recalls, “my dad put the parts of
two clocks in a box, shook them up,
and had me put them together. When
I mastered the task, I was allowed to

work on customers’ clocks.” When
Mike was in 9th grade, he started
working on the bikes, and by the time
he was a senior in high school, he had
his own bike repair business.
Working on frames and wheels for
years, he now has a Serotta size
cycle for custom fitting frames, seat,
and handlebar angles. He also has a
spoke machine for producing wheels.
These are unique high-end pieces of
equipment most smaller shops like
his might not have. They allow him to
adjust bikes for better riding, and make
slight tweaks to improve performance.
With an emphasis on detail and
customer service, Mike likes to make
things better for his customers.
When it comes to selling new bikes,
Mike works with customers to discern
the kind and brand that will service
them best, and that he can back up.
He cherry-picks his lines of bikes,
which range from Schwinn to Trek to
Waterford.
Several customers from Massachusetts
to Texas to Arizona routinely ship
their unassembled bikes to him in
boxes. Some are taking advantage
of their visit to the area to have their
bike assembled and tuned up by Mike
to ride during their vacation. Others,
who have moved from the area, refuse
to let go of Mike—now that’s loyalty!

OIRÉE
DEUX
Divine Gifts with
an Urban Twist
By Jean Cornelius
A shared passion for antiques, salvaged
curb goodies, and retro funk inspired a
mother-daughter team to open Ripon’s
Soirée Deux shop. In downtown
Ripon, Karen Brey and daughter Kia
Wright offer a fun adventure of the
eclectic kind!
Soirée carries an array of merchandise,
including gifts for babies, hats, hoodies,
totes, drinking glasses, water bottles,
picture frames, tables, chairs, lamps,
clocks, vases, cookbooks, bowls,
plates, platters, jewelry, pillows, all
natural body products, and stationery.
Many of these goods come from small
environmentally conscious companies
that sell to small local businesses.
One of those companies, Primal
Elements, makes handmade vegetable
glycerin soaps and quality bath and
skin care products. Their products
are not tested on animals, and
contain no animal ingredients. Made
in Huntington Beach, California,
they contain replenishable resources
like pure essential oils and natural
botanicals. They package in recyclable
containers, and encourage customers
to reuse or recycle the containers.
Another line is Beanpod Candles,
producers of candles made from 100%
stabilized natural soy wax. These
paraffin-free fragrant candles are clean
and healthy for the environment. They
are poured in New Hampton, Iowa, the
nation’s heartland of soybean growers.
Soy candles, handmade soap, and
natural bath and body products are also
featured from eco candle company of
Appleton, Wisconsin. Providing high-
quality products with respect for the
environment and a healthy lifestyle,
their products are hand-crafted in
small batches to ensure freshness and
quality.
Fun, functional products created from
recycled bicycle parts come to Soirée
from Resource Revival in Mosier,
Oregon. Their team of artists tinker
with tons of used bicycle parts from all
over the country until new products
are born—they call it rebicycling!
Their unique and original designs,
made primarily from bicycle chains,
include clocks, bottle openers, key
chains, bracelets, picture frames, and
bowls.
Soirée’s flagship store is in downtown
Oshkosh, Wisconsin. Fitting for both
its Ripon and Oshkosh locations,
Soirée offers lake-themed home décor,
and Lakegirl-brand sweatshirts and Tshirts for those who like to celebrate
life on the lake.
For out-of-the-ordinary gifts and décor
for your home, shop locally at Soirée
Deux. Their green and eco-friendly
merchandise can be found at 225
Watson St. in Ripon. Or shop from the
comfort of your home at their online
store soireeurbangifts.com.
2011 marks the 16th year of Cookie
Daze, which started as way to celebrate
cookies. Rippin’ Good Cookies have
been produced in Ripon since 1930.
In 1992, members of the community
baked the world’s largest cookie,
measuring 907.9 square feet—the
enormous cookie was documented
in the 1994 Guinness Book of World
Records, and on May 3, 1996, Wisconsin
governor Tommy Thompson issued
a proclamation recognizing Ripon as
CookieTown, USA.

An Event for the Whole Family
By Jill Carlson
Cookies will be falling from the sky
in Ripon on Saturday, August 6, at
Barlow Park. Join in the fun at Cookie
Daze when during three cookie drops,
over 8,000 cookies will be dropped
from an aerial fire truck ladder. Kids
rush to find the specially marked
package to determine if they’ve won a
new bicycle.
“Everyone needs to experience the joy
of a cookie drop at least once in their
life,” says Angela Wiese, special events
Activities

Junior
Free Fair
HEADS TO HOLLYWOOD
FOR INSPIRATION
By Jan White
Lights, Camera, Action! is the theme for
this year’s Green Lake County Junior
Free Fair, August 4–7. Kim Zills,
University of Wisconsin-Extension
Office fair coordinator, notes the 2010
pirate theme was great fun and adds,
“It’ll be hard to top last year.” However,
because of the continued enthusiastic
planning and participation by the
whole county, the 2011 fair is sure to
be equally successful.
ideas; you’ll just need to come and find
out which make it to the “big screen”
and which are left on the cutting room
floor. This critic is confident the Green
Lake County Junior Free Fair will once
again be a four-star event—mark my
word and mark your calendars.
The fair is supported by local
businesses, the County Board of
Supervisors, service organizations,
the UW-Extension Office, and a lot of
volunteers. The fairgrounds are just
east of the heart of downtown Green
Lake at 570 South Street. Admission
and parking are free. For further
information, contact Kim Zills at (920)
294-4033 or [email protected].
Since it’s a county fair, you know you’ll
enjoy endless choices of summer fare—
good eating is a tradition here. You’ll
also find the ever-popular and exciting
track events, carnival/midway, archery,
and many activities for children.
Clowns and jugglers circulate, and
music fills the air.
Participation in the fair gives local youth
an opportunity to hone their leadership
skills and become involved in their
communities and county. The exhibition
buildings have excellent educational
displays, which appeal to all ages.
Check out who earns blue ribbons for
arts and crafts, including woodworking,
photography, food preparation, sewing/
needle arts, and floral displays. Pick up
information about home care, safety,
gardening, and more. And don’t miss
the endearing animals!
Considering the theme, the idea board
includes activities such as a Walk of
Fame and impersonators of Hollywood’s
rich and famous. And there’ll be more
THRASHER
OPERA HOUSE
By MARIA DIETRICH
Thrasher Opera House, at 506 Mill
Street in downtown Green Lake,
has entered its second century. Built
in 1910 by Charlie Thrasher, the
civic-minded son of a pioneer Green
Lake family, the building was filled
with entertainment throughout its
early years in the form of vaudeville
and traveling theatrical companies,
silent movies, films, school activities,
dances, and basketball games, all
hosted by Charlie. Films were shown
until World War II, but eventually the
building languished as a warehouse.
Driven by his love of Green Lake
and its history, the late Ron
Hagstrom persevered in purchasing
and refurbishing the wonderful
old building. The restoration was
successfully completed in 1997, and
Thrasher Opera House is once again
an outstanding venue for musical,
educational, and cultural events. In
December 2001, Ron turned over the
building to the nonprofit Thrasher
Opera House Corporation, which
purchased the structure with the help
of donations from many far-sighted
area residents.
Designated as a City of Green Lake
Historical Structure, Thrasher Opera
House is listed on the Wisconsin and
the National Registers of Historic
Places. The building boasts a large
auditorium with a decorative tin
ceiling, great acoustics, full stage with
wings, and balcony, all of which have
been restored to original condition by
local craftspeople.
Thrasher Opera House is a hub of
activity. People travel from all over the
Midwest—and sometimes farther—
to see visiting artists such as Maria
Muldaur, George Winston, and Jimmy
Webb. The Missoula Children’s Theatre
is in residence twice a year, giving
60 area children the opportunity to
participate in a musical every January
and June. In addition, the venue is
used for everything from high school
plays and dances to weddings and
receptions, community and business
meetings, lectures and piano recitals,
and other uses limited only by the
imagination.

Beautiful Artwork Fills Banks of Mill Pond During
FINE ARTS SHOW
By Jean Cornelius
Under 100 white canvas tents at
Playground Park, beautiful works of art
are poised for spectators and buyers at
the annual Green Lake Fine Arts Show.
Well-established in its 39th year, this
juried show is August 13-14. A couple
hundred artists apply from Wisconsin
and around the country, and a selection
committee whittles the group to 100.
To keep it fresh, approximately 40% of
exhibitors are new.
students, residents, and visitors are
displayed on light poles in Green Lake
during August. They are later auctioned
by the Green Lake Area Chamber’s Arts
Network.
While Saturday morning dawns,
the banks of Green Lake’s Mill Pond
slowly fill with the accepted artists.
They are like gypsies setting up
weekend homes with an assortment
of wares: oil, watercolor, and acrylic
paintings; clay, stained glass, and wood
objects; jewelry, yard art, furniture,
photography, pottery, and sculpture. A
caricature artist is often in attendance,
exaggerating people while they pose.
Many artists work on pieces during the
day, and some tents display winning
ribbons earned that weekend for best
in show, awards of excellence, and
honorable mentions.

Arts Show or to apply as an exhibitor,
It’s a show for browsing and for
buying. “If you’re serious about buying
products made in the USA, this is a
perfect opportunity to not only do
that, but also to buy directly from
the person who made it,” says Guy
Rossberg, chairman of the show.

On Saturday, August 20, the sidewalks
along Green Lake’s courthouse block
will buzz with activity as artists try
their hand at creating masterpieces
in chalk. Hosted by Green Lake Arts
Network, the 5th Annual Wisconsin
Chalk Art Festival coincides with the
Green Lake Art Walk.
Squares of sidewalk will transform
into giant canvasses where chalk artists
will participate in several categories.
Previously the drawings were done
on the pavement. “The art walk is
scheduled for the evening so visitors
can view the chalk art while visiting
sites where local artists will display
their works,” says Ellen Koeppen,
executive director of Green Lake Area
Chamber of Commerce.
There’s fun in store for all, whether
you want to participate or just stroll
and enjoy the artists’ work. “Using the
sidewalks instead of the street means
more space along the courthouse block
where people can enjoy the grassy
areas and set up camp there,” Ellen
explains.

For a small fee, competitors rent a
sidewalk square and receive a box
of chalk. The competition is open
to all ages and skill levels. Last year,
approximately 50 artists participated.
“Everyone is welcome and no one
should feel intimidated about trying
their hand at creating a work of art
in chalk,” says Ellen. Last year’s prize
categories and the winners were:
ages 6 and under, Bernadette Boyle,
Evanston, IL; 7–10, Ellen Flannery,
Wilmette, IL; 11–15, Abigail Kolbe,
Greenville, WI; 16 and over, Cheryl
Sina, Princeton, WI; family, Max
Marsden, Joe, Mary, and Jenna, Glen
Ellyn, IL; and professional, Annie
Horne of Markesan.
Twenty-year-old Annie’s rendition of
an enormous orange hibiscus blossom
made her winner of her category. Annie
grows hibiscus plants in her yard and
loves to photograph the beauties that
inspired her drawing. “The hibiscus is
my favorite flower,” she says. In direct
contrast to drawing giant images on
the sidewalk, Annie’s passion lies in
fingernail painting. She owns a huge
supply of art equipment from beauty
supply stores and hopes to use her
talent to create fingernail designs.
Registration begins at 10:00 a.m.
“Artists often prefer to work early to
avoid the heat, but they may work until
judging time at 4:00 p.m.,” Ellen says.
The Art Walk begins at 4:00 p.m.

GREEN TEAM
Sharing the Natural Beauty of Green Lake
By Ainsley Rubbert
Whether
discovering
historical
Native American sites while biking or
exploring the Green Lake watershed
by paddling up Silver Creek in a
kayak or canoe, the Green Team
is serving up another active year
exploring Green Lake.
In 2008, the Green Lake Association,
the Green Lake Conservancy, the Green
Lake Sanitary District, and the Green
Lake School District partnered to form
the Green Team. Taking ideas from
representatives from each organization
and input from participants, the Green
Team offers free events that “introduce
and share with the public, through the
talents of volunteers, those special,
unusual, or unknown natural features
in the Green Lake area.”
“Through the generosity of people
sharing their time and knowledge,
Green Team participants not only
experience the nature, culture,
and history of our area, but more
importantly, they understand how
their support of the Green Team helps
improve our beautiful area,” says Jerry
Specht, Green Team volunteer.
The Green Team has expanded its
calendar in 2011 to provide yearround events with different seasonal
backdrops. For instance, in early
spring, the Green Team is heading
into the woods to view the process of
making maple syrup, which includes
tapping maple trees for sap collection.
Most Green Team events incorporate
physical activity such as biking, hiking,
and kayak/canoeing to get participants
out and moving as they experience the
natural beauty of Green Lake. Saturday,
June 4 from 8:30 a.m. to 10:00 a.m.,
the Green Team will kayak/canoe up
Silver Creek beyond Spaulding Hill
Bridge to learn about area lands and
tributaries leading to Green Lake.
Offering more than 10 family-friendly
events in 2011, the Green Team
continues to provide new events while
bringing back participants’ favorites. For
example, last year the Green Team took
a 3+ mile bike tour to view historical
Native American burial mounds and
sites along County Road A and Spring
Grove Road in Green Lake. This year
the Green Team has brought the event
back, but will head to the southwest
end of Green Lake and bike into Camp
Grow to view unique historical Native
American sites Saturday, July 30 from
9:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m.

Taste What’s Cooking in Green Lake
By Jill Carlson
Enjoy sampling new chili recipes?
Here’s your opportunity to try
interesting culinary creations at
the Wisconsin State Chili Cookoff September 10 in Green Lake.
Contestants prepare original recipes
using venison, elk, bison, ostrich, and
beef, with added secret ingredients.
The pots of chili start cooking in
Deacon Mills Park at 11:00 a.m. At
3:00 p.m., the tent is cleared of the
public, and official chili samples are
collected for the judges. While the
judges determine the winners, the tent
is reopened to the public, and tasting
cups 4 for $1 are filled for the public
to determine the People’s Choice
award. By 5:00 p.m., the winners
have been determined, and awards
for first, second, and third place are
announced.
Judges consider six major characteristics when tasting the chili: good
flavoring, texture, consistency, blend
of spices, aroma, and color. The cookoff is sanctioned by the International
Chili Society (ICS), and membership
in the ICS (visit chilicookoff.com),
along with a fee to the Green Lake
Rotary Club, is required to compete.
The chili cook-off has been held in
Green Lake since the mid-1970s when
the Green Lake Chamber of Commerce
acquired the event. The Green Lake
Rotary Club has organized the event

since the early 1980s, and sells chili,
brats, hot dogs, and nachos at their
booth. Bill Munsey, owner of the Bay
View Motel & Resort, has served as
the chairman for the past 18 years.
In 2010, there were 36 participants
and over 1,000 people in attendance.
Dan Kolter of Wautoma, Wisconsin,
was named the winner with a chili
recipe he’s worked to perfect for over
20 years. “I’ve tried several recipes in
the past using different meats, but I
decided to keep it simple and cook
the chili that I make at the Bluff Bar
and Grille in Poy Sippi. I use Gebhardt
Chili Powder from Texas,” Dan
explains.

Dan has participated in the Wisconsin
State Chili Cook-off for seven years,
and won the Spicy award three
years in a row from 2005–2007. As
the winner, Dan participated in the
world championship cook-off held
in Manchester, New Hampshire. “I
packed up my stuff and drove out with
my best friend, and had a great time
representing Wisconsin,” says Dan.

The Green Lake Conservancy Foundation
Preserving Green Lake’s Natural Resources
By Lisa Lathrop
Founded in 1995, The Green Lake
Conservancy Foundation (GLCF) is
a nonprofit, tax-deductible land trust
working to preserve, protect, and
enhance the aesthetic, ecological, and
recreational qualities of the Green
Lake Watershed. The organization’s
mission includes working to preserve
the biodiversity of natural areas
within the watershed, and educating
the public to promote sustainable
land use practices. GLCF works
in partnership with the Green Lake
Sanitary District, the Wisconsin
Department of Natural Resources,
the Green Lake Association, and
Green Lake County Land Conservation
Department. In order to achieve its
goals, this all-volunteer organization
identifies environmentally sensitive
areas, works with landowners
to implement best management
practices and acquire qualifying
natural areas, and recommends
conservation easements to landowners
to protect their natural areas into
perpetuity. Essential to the mission are
tax-deductible contributions, which
fund conservation efforts to improve
Green Lake water quality and to acquire
land of environmental importance to
Green Lake.
conservation easement. The properties
range in size from less than one acre to
over 500 acres, and are all located in
close proximity to Big Green Lake.
Since its inception, the GLCF has
acquired 13 properties and negotiated
one significant conservation easement.
Properties open to the public include:
Forest Avenue Oak Savanna, Blackbird
Point Wetlands, Norwegian Bay
Wetlands, Guskey Prairie, Miller
Prairie, Sugar Island Wetlands, Wick
Forest Preserve, Tuleta Hill Prairie,
Silver Point Wetlands, Assembly Creek
and Springs, Sunnyside Conservancy,
and Winnebago Trail Conservancy.
Two properties closed to the public
are Mitchell Glen Conservancy
and Folsum Nature Preserve, a
In addition to monetary purchases
funded through monetary donations,
the organization works with property
owners who wish to ensure their
property remains in pristine condition
for years to come. In some cases this
may involve donating the property to
the organization, and in others, such
as in the case of the Folsum Nature
Preserve, the organization works
with the property owner to establish
an easement, which will allow the
current owners to retain ownership
but ensures that regardless of who
owns the land in the future, use of
At various times throughout the year,
there are events held on the properties,
including a wintertime moonlight walk
on Hammer’s Trail at the Green Lake
Conference Center. Last winter there
was a chili potluck on a snow-covered
night with a full moon on display.
Local artist and birder Tom Schultz
led an outing last year in canoes and
kayaks, which allowed people to view
the properties from the water. The
organization is in the formative stages
of planning a water trail, which will
enable people to view the properties
from the water. Each year the GLCF
holds an annual fundraising event
to help facilitate continuation of the
organization.
the land will be restricted according to
the easement.
GLCF is a member of Gathering Waters,
a statewide organization which works
to help land trusts, landowners, and
communities protect the places that
make Wisconsin special. Services
provided by Gathering Waters
include technical and organizational
consulting for land trusts, landowner
advising on preserving property,
training for professionals by attorneys
and appraisers experienced in
conservation easements, and general
public education about land trusts and
preservation.
Current GLCF President, Bur Zeratsky,
relates, “…we have a great stable
of properties with recreational
opportunities, including trails and
events.” The organization works with
State and local partnerships and “relies
upon financial assistance to continue
to purchase and maintain these
resources.” It is through the dedication
and hard work of the 15-member
volunteer board that the organization
is able to continue moving forward
with a vision for the future.
While visiting the Green Lake
area, be sure to visit some of these
wonderful natural resources and
appreciate the accomplishments The
Green Lake Conservancy Foundation
has achieved in the past 15 years.

On March 20, 1854, citizens gathered
in this one-room building to organize
against the spread of slavery into the
north by creating a new political party,
naming it the “Republican Party.” The
party was well received, and with
the help of the influential newspaper
editor, Horace Greeley, the name
“Republican” was accepted. The first
national Republican Convention was
held in Pittsburgh in 1856, and in 1860
the party elected its first President,
Abraham Lincoln.
The Little White Schoolhouse has
been listed on the National Register
of Historic Places since 1973, and was
declared a National Historic Landmark
in 1974. Today it is operated as a
museum related to both 19th century
one-room schoolhouse education and
to the founding of the Republican
Party.
Open daily June 1 through Labor Day;
special appointments and group tours
may be arranged for anytime during the
year by calling the Ripon Chamber of
Commerce at (920) 748-6764. Hours
are 10:00 a.m.–4:00 p.m. daily June
1 through Labor Day, and weekends

Dickens of a Christmas
The Spirit of Christmas Past
Comes to Life in Ripon
By Jan White
Ripon transforms itself into a Victorian
city, quaint and intimate, each
December. This winter festival is a
local favorite, and celebrates its 21st
year December 2–4. Sponsored by the
Ripon Area Chamber of Commerce,
most events are free while others
are modestly priced. Both parking
and small-town friendliness are
plentiful.
The three-day event actually gets a
great jump-start on Thursday evening
with the Chamber-sponsored chili
supper, a fundraiser for another
of Ripon’s favorite and unique
celebrations, Cookie Daze. And all
weekend, retailers and restaurateurs
cater to the influx of visitors with
expanded hours with the same warm
hospitality Ripon is famous for.
You won’t want to miss the stunning
living windows all along Watson
Street on Friday in the early evening.
Scenes from a century ago are brought
to life by costumed individuals, young
and old. You can also vote for your
favorite gingerbread house in the
annual contest, or better yet, plan
ahead and enter the contest yourself.
The 17th annual Dickens of a Quilt
Show is a sight to behold with its
large array of beautifully wrought and
displayed fiber arts. The Enchanted
Forest is a room transformed by
handsomely decorated trees and filled
with music, which will enchant you as
you stroll. Both are open all three days.
Still want more to do? You can visit the
live nativity scene; witness Las Posadas,
a re-enactment of Joseph and Mary’s
search for lodging; enter the Victorian
costume contest; have breakfast with
Santa; view the collection of nativity
sets; attend arts and crafts shows; listen
to a story at the library; and drop in at
numerous open houses.
A Saturday-only event is the Tour of
Homes, a delightful opportunity to
enjoy the hospitality of about a halfdozen area home owners. Sunday
activities may include special brunches
and the Ripon College Choral Concert.
To receive a detailed schedule of times
and locations, contact the Ripon Area
Chamber of Commerce at (920) 7486764, email [email protected],
or visit ripon-wi.com.

Statement Statement
Painting is a consuming passion for me.
Although by education and profession I
am a graphic designer, painting affords
me a chance to explore the world around
me in a totally personal way.
Cover Artist
Georgene Pomplun
Georgene Pomplun is known primarily
as a landscape oil painter, although she
paints a variety of subjects, and has a
natural affinity to water. She and her
husband Tom live with their dog Mojo in
an old farmhouse in rural Dane County,
so paintings abound at every turn.
The beautiful old barns in central
and southern Wisconsin are favorite
subjects, and her neighbors’ horses and
cows are patient and willing models. The
wonderful lakes and rivers of Wisconsin
provide incredible inspiration, as well
as a profound serenity that is always the
challenge to capture and communicate
in a painting.
Georgene’s formal education and
background are in design and art
direction. She holds a BFA in Graphic
Design, although she studied fine art,
with an emphasis on drawing, early
on at the American Academy of Art
in Chicago. Her design career has
encompassed art direction at NBC-TV
in downstate Illinois, a Chicago design
studio, and later a book publisher there,
and wonderful years in Wisconsin as a
senior art director at American Girl and
later at Lands’ End.
The structure and discipline of good
design has always informed her painting
composition. But, she feels lucky to be
able to reserve painting as an avocation
rather than a vocation as that affords
her complete creative latitude.
Currently Georgene works for the
Chancellor’s Office at the University
of Wisconsin-Madison coordinating
special events. She maintains that
putting together large receptions with
many components is a great deal like art
directing complicated location photo
shoots, with a host of details all coming
together to complete a large picture.
Painting continues to be her focus and
her passion. For more information
about Georgene’s work, you may reach
her at [email protected].
Landscape is my natural affinity, and I
am fortunate to live in a beautiful rural
area of Mount Horeb, surrounded by
stunning views at every turn. My scenes
almost always have a human footprint,
whether it is a road, a structure, or a
planted field.
I believe that man and nature can
work in close harmony together, and
my painting reflects that conviction.
Painting the farms in our area is also
my stake in preserving a way of life
that is increasingly threatened. Often I
will have painted a barn only to return
in a year’s time to find that it no longer
exists. I also love the solid farmhouses
that epitomize the tenets of form and
function, and which fit so comfortably
into their environment.
I always want the viewer to come with
me into the landscape of my paintings,
whether it is a rural vista or a more
intimate space. I like to escape to those
places, and hope that those who see my
work will join me there for an interlude
of peace and repose.
Georgene Pomplun—December 2010
