Fun things to do in the area
Beaded Buffalo Head
Vicki Schaaf is a former CENTURY 21 staff person who created this beautiful hand beaded buffalo head. I first saw a photo of the piece and was so impressed and excited that I had to call her to find out more about the process. It’s a stunning work of art and full of Native American …
Christmas on Ice.
After all the hugs and laughter and eating and drinking during the holidays, it feels so great to get outside and hear nothing but the thoughts in your own head – and perhaps the sound of blades on ice! The ice on the lakes this year was an on-again/off-again operation, starting in November with the …
Wine Dinners at the Chattering Squirrel.
Friday night’s wine dinner at the Chattering Squirrel, “A Contemporary Marriage of Italian Wines and Cuisine” was a fantastic opportunity to appreciate the fine culinary skill of their chef, Jon Dykeman. His day-to-day routine involves creating amazing lunch offerings for the Squirrel. But he really shines when you unleash him on a full blown, multi …
Wisconsin Fishing Season is Open.
Things were rocking this morning at Yellow Lake for the Wisconsin Fishing Opener. They couldn’t launch the boats fast enough. I watched trailer after trailer dump boats into the lake this morning with many giddy fishing folks ready to kick off their favorite Up North sport. Two young guys jumped out of a truck wearing …
St. Patrick’s Day in Webb Lake
This year’s St. Patrick’s Day Parade in Webb Lake was very well attended due to the fact that the holiday fell on a Saturday and the incredibly nice weather. Our resident Irishman, Pat Duffy was thrilled to be asked to drive a parade entry and was able to capture some scenes for us. I have it …

Carping on Clam Lake.
This winter we were able to witness a carping operation on Clam Lake. It was fascinating and I think the photos I’ve posted below tell a lot of the story. Although it’s hard to translate the whole picture without sharing the smell, but count yourself lucky on that one! Clam Lake has been overcome …
Impressive Changes at Voyager Village
If you haven’t been to Voyager Village lately, you’re in for a “wow!” moment the next time you go. Recent staff changes, facility improvements and menu changes are getting noticed – and this time, for all the right reasons! Our agent Pat Duffy had the opportunity to dine with a group of 10 friends the …
Cock-A-Doodle-Doo!
I’ve become accustomed to being awakened before sunrise by all the logging operations and chippers around our house. I’m not sure when it will end. I assume it will go on and on for awhile. But this weekend, I was pleasantly surprised when instead of that old familiar drone and moan, I heard gun shots …
