...there was a charming lake-side town, located on the east side of the deepest inland body of water in the state of Wisconsin.
Residents and visitors loved their quaint hamlet, reminding themselves how lucky they were to be in a
community that is caring, safe, relaxing, recreational and beautiful — often, be-yond description.
But like many small towns, theirs was not im-mune to the pains of econom-ic hardship brought on by tight credit, high unemploy-ment, diminished consumer spending.
Like neighboring towns, theirs also faced the chal-lenge of maintaining a vibrant retail marketplace at a time when many rural communities’ downtown storefronts are blighted with “Space For Rent” signs.
Rather than sit around licking their wounds, several residents started passing around a book, “Boomtown USA:7 ½ Keys to Big Success in Small Towns.”
Three years ago they
formed the Downtown Green Lake Renewal Project.
At that time, I wrote about how they were intent on turning their temporary gloomtown into boomtown.
At least one of them must have been a sailor, as their guiding philosophy seemed to be: OK, it’s pretty blustery out there. Rather than dry dock our boat, let’s point its prow just off the wind, hike way over the edge and close-haul our way into the seas of success.
Using their time, treasure and talent, the volunteers have pushed Green Lake forward.
They spearheaded econom-ic-development, promotional/marketing campaigns and architectural design efforts.
Their signature project was the transformation of the west shore of Deacon Mills Park into an attrac-tive, landscaped wharf whose completion was hailed during a communty-wide celebration last August.

DOWNTOWN GREEN LAKE Renewal Project members suit up, put on their helmets and sail into the wind, fast and fearless.
About a month ago, Green Lake Subway owner Tracy Swayze approached me about our publishing an 11th, holi-day Green Laker.
Tracy’s enthusiasm was infectious (as was the encour-agement of my co-worker, Todd Sharp, who first sug-gested the idea after Tracy planted a seed with him in September).
So, with four weeks before publication, we set about putting together what we’ve come to call our “Holiday Green Laker.”
No one was more impor-tant to this effort than Jo Ellen Madden, a Green Lake homeowner who wakes up every day believing her glass
is far more than half full. She wrote stories, sold ads,
assigned volunteers, chased last-minute details and kept folks on task.
In short, Jo Ellen made my job as publisher easy — fun, even!
And so we introduce our first-ever frosty Green Laker, trusting that while the temperatures continue to plummet, here in Green Lake,there are a whole lot of things that are just starting to heat up!
Air is cold but hearts are warm in Green Lake

YES!We come to your town!
Skaters will be twirling soon on a new ice skating rink naturally formed by the recently created Wharf at Deacon Mills Park in Green Lake.
With an area spanning approximately 270 feet by 100 feet, ice skaters will have plenty of room to practice their figure eights, play a fun game of hockey or simply spin around the nature-made rink.
“Our city’s Park and Rec Committee is working with the public works director, the Downtown Green Lake Renewal Project, the Norton brothers, volunteers and busi-nesses to make this a spectac-ular venue to enjoy the winter and get some great outdoor exercise,” city of Green Lake Mayor Chuck Mirr said.
“Skating at the Deacon Mills Ice Skating Rink is free and the hours will be from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. each day weather permitting,” added Pam Nawrocki, chair of the Park and Rec Committee. “This park is a gem for our town and we are thrilled by how much people use and enjoy it.”
Skating will begin as soon as Mother Nature freezes Dartford Bay and the ice is prepared by volunteers and the city to create a relatively smooth surface for skating — possibly early December.
Big, white bulbs will be strewn over the rink for dusk/evening skating and there are
even ideas for piping music into the area.
And the Norton broth-ers (Joe, Dave and Mike) are working together to build an 8 foot by 10 foot structure to warm up skaters if they need a break from the winter weather.
“My brothers and I are
‘Hut, hut, hut,’ say three Norton brothers. Football? No, just ice skating at the Wharf
really excited to build a warming hut with lots of windows using solar heat and solar light,” Joe Norton said. “We’re exploring ways to heat it in the evening hours as well.
“Inside the hut, there will be benches and cubby holes for skates and boot storage,”
Norton added. “Our plan is to locate it up on the original boardwalk’s southeast corner with steps down to the ice.”
“If you have a pair of old
skates in good condition, drop them off at North Bay,” encourages Joel Baranowski, owner of North Bay. “We’ll collect used skates to be bor-rowed and the shop will offer blade sharpening and stock laces as well.”
Skaters will want to look for hot drinks and lunch and/or dinner offerings from lo-cal restaurants and shops to warm up, recharge and return to the fun on the ice.
“The Downtown Green Lake Renewal Project is so pleased by the outcome of the Deacon Mills Wharf Project and now the added bonus of an ice skating rink for our community and visitors,” said Renewal Project Presi-dent Mary-Jo Johnson. “We hope we’ll see lots of people in downtown Green Lake as families come to skate, dine at our fine restaurants, shop our unique shops and participate in classes or other interesting activities at Town Square or take in a show at Thrasher’s. As the skating rink is used, we would love to hear your suggestions for more fun activities at the ice rink by emailing us at [email protected].”
So, if you don’t have a pair of skates, perhaps you should ask Santa?

Holiday memory“... On Christmas Eve, my
family would always get the chores done a little earlier than normal so that we could get the milking done before Santa
would come. It seemed like milking took hours because I was always so excited to open my presents from Santa.”

To many northlanders the coming of winter brings renewed excitement to get out on the frozen waters to go iceboating.
This is an activity and sport older than one might have imagined, as the Nor-dic Museum in Stockholm claims evidence suggesting that it could have originated more than 4,000 years ago in Northern Europe.
First accounts in America have European-styled iceboats sailing on the Hudson during America’s revolution.
There also is an account in a state historical society pub-lication of French missionary, Father Claude Allouez, turn-ing his canoe into a rudi-mentary iceboat with sail and runners in order to travel the frozen waters of DePere and Green Bay so that he could head south to Illinois in 1676.
Originally a means of travel and commerce, this thrilling pastime has become a delightful way to chase cabin-fever away, get fresh air and exercise, compete or
Love your LATITUDE: Ride the wind!Summer sailors who enjoy Big Green also appreciate Big White
just enjoy loads of camarade-rie with like-minded friends who refuse to let the chillier months keep them indoors.
Who will you see on frozen lakes enjoying this sport?
Men and women of all ages — grade schoolers and octogenarians alike!
One needn’t be a soft-water sailor to begin iceboating. In fact, Jorg Bohn, one of Ger-many’s top racers and Europe-an commodore of the Inter-national DN Ice Yacht Racing Association and a frequent fly-in competitor in our area, does not summer-race at all.
As a commercial pilot who speaks many languages, Jorg is a well-respected contender who effortlessly arranges re-gattas for his fellow racers all over the globe.
Many iceboaters have had no previous sailing experi-ence of any kind.
Actually, fewer than half of iceboaters race. Most get in-volved to cruise for the pure enjoyment of man-against-the-elements.
What they also get are fun weekend cook outs in beau-tiful surroundings, movie
and dinner nights with the sailors, and shop nights for those who desire to build and maintain their boats with friends and play with tools and epoxy!
DISPLAYING A DN iceboat at Harvest Fest last September are, from left, John Hayashi, Deb and Dan Biermam, Mimi Hayashi, Brian Dudek, Joe Norton, Orlo Bierman, Mike and Julie Jankowski and Ryan Wallenfang.
So how does one get started on this adventure?
Show up when you see or hear that the iceboats are on the lake! Call an iceboater to be notified when the time is
right. Bring warm clothes and
strap-on cleats for the bottom of your boots.
The main mission of every iceboat club is to introduce

the sport to new people. So don’t be shy; let members know you’re interested and they’ll get you out for a ride on a boat that can take two to four riders at one time.
Even “Good Morning American” meteorologist Gin-ger Zee got her first iceboat ride last season with friends in Minnesota.
You’ll wonder why you’ve waited!
On Green Lake you’ll find the early season boating is on either end of the lake off of park areas.
Later in the season, as thick ice covers the entire lake, the Green Lake Ice Yacht Club has traditionally sailed out of the Norton’s Restaurant area for visibility to newcom-ers and to patronize a local establishment.
Many local iceboaters will

reminisce that the first ride that got them hooked was in front of Norton’s and old photos will attest to this!
The local club held its 100th anniversary in 2008. The list of past members reads like a Green Lake area phone book!
We’ve been the scene of many exciting days on Green Lake.
Races and cruising used to be a highlight at many winterfests and the club was highlighted in the past

Through the years, observ-ing Christmas has been a festive part of Green Lake’s history.
Local churches naturally played a significant role.
Very early in Green Lake, one expression of celebration was the community Christ-mas tree.
It was placed in the center of the village, right in the middle of the junction of Mill and Hill streets.
In later years, it was moved on to the courthouse lawn. No doubt, traffic had become heavier and speedier.
Santa Claus would arrive in a pick up truck to greet the children and pass out bags of goodies to each youngster. The American Legion was instrumental in seeing that achieved.
Girl Scouts often led in the singing of carols.
Eventually a permanent tree was planted between the spillway and dam — and the familiar tradition took place there.
However, Green Lake winter time isn’t just about Christmas.
Some of the activities that were popular in earlier times still take place today. It still snows, days are shorter, winds blow — albeit from a different direction than in the summer — and people are looking for ways to have fun.
Green Lake takes on an entirely new personality.
Instead of playing in the water, one is now on the water.
The lake is a highway for snowmobiles, ATVs and yes, even cars and trucks.
The condition of the ice
— “when will the lake freeze over?” — remains an impor-tant topic of conservation.
Pleasant pastimes of yes-teryears were sleigh riding, ice skating, snow shoeing, ice fishing, sledding, skiing, ice boating and just playing in the snow.
There is much to be said for quiet time, hot drinks, a blazing fireplace or stove and the coziness of hours enjoyed

Throughout history, Green Lake winters offered a season to relish — and relax!
THE INFAMOUS SLEET stormy of Feb. 22, 1922 crippled Green Lake — temporarily.
ICE BOATS HAVE long been a staple of Green Lake winters.

indoors.The clothing today makes
outdoor life warmer and more comfortable. Think of dealing with wet wool and other heavy materials without the benefit of modern dryers.
An important and memo-rable event occurred on Feb. 22, 1922, when a sleet storm paralyzed Green Lake. Ice broke whole trees and took down electric wires. People
stayed inside for safety and warmth.
There are memories of different streets used for sled-ding hills in the past.
One is Mill Street from the intersection of Scott Street to the intersection of Water Street.
Another is the sheriff’s hill
and still another King’s hill. Now we have Zoebel Park,
where there is much less vehicle traffic to combat.
Whether called “Dartford,” as in the past, or “Green Lake,” as it is known now, winter by and on the lake is a season to be celebrated and relished.

Holiday memory
“... I also learned that it has become an every-year family tradition to bake a cake to cel-ebrate the birthday of Jesus. My favorite part of the cake is when we are ready to eat the cake, we sing ‘Happy Birthday’ and then we all get to blow the candles together as a family.
“While we enjoyed the de-licious cake, my Grandma grabbed her Bible from the kitchen counter and started to read to our whole family the story of how Jesus was born.”
— Kyla Raspalje, Green Lake High School, Grade 10
HOLIDAY WREATHS, banners and gar land adorning downtown Green Lake lightposts signal that the holiday season has arrived. This year’s activities will take place all over town, at churches, the school, Caestecker Public Library, Town Square, Heidel House, stores, Green Lake Conference Center, restaurants and more. Doesn’t it seem like Green Lake Golden Days Harvest Festival was just a few weeks ago? Time flies when you’re having fun in Green Lake.

Christmas in the Midwest brings to mind twinkling lights, enchanting evergreens draped in snow and warmth created by the fireplace and being surrounded by those closest to our hearts.
For some, the glimmer is found in escaping into a winter wonderland with fresh, brisk air. Others find the thrill in being immersed in holiday activities and the festive spirit.
All of this and more can be found during the Christmas season on the shores of Wis-consin’s deepest inland lake.
Some ideas to experience the magic:
Holiday Activities at Heidel House Resort & Spa
Heidel House Resort opens its doors for families to ex-perience the magic of Christ-mas with activities to bring cheer and create rich, lasting memories.
Indoors and out, the resort is lovingly decorated with garland, poinsettias, lights, ornaments and beautifully decorated trees.
Guests are invited on Dec. 8 to relax during an old-fash-ioned carriage ride through the resort grounds; capture the excitement on their child-rens’ faces as Santa visits them during a special breakfast buf-fet; and participate together in cookie, ornament and wreath decorating workshops.
Storytime with Mrs. Claus, hot cocoa next to the fire, carolers and a giant, hand-crafted gingerbread house complete this captivating day.
For more information, go to www.heidelhouse.com
Performances at Thrasher Opera House
Two holiday-themed shows are scheduled in December at Thrasher Opera House, a restored theater located in downtown Green Lake.
This special piece of his-tory was built in 1910 and first hosted vaudeville and travelling theatrical compa-nies. The December perfor-mances include
Switchback: A Midwestern Christmas (Saturday, Dec. 8) and The Alley Cats’ Jingle Bell Rock (Saturday, Dec. 15).
Both shows will feature holiday music for the whole family to enjoy. For more information, go to www.thrasheroperahouse.com.
Dickens of a Christmas in Downtown RiponStep back in time for a
weekend festival celebrating the stunning Victorian archi-tecture and homes through-out Ripon (six miles east of Green Lake).
Event highlights include living windows in downtown businesses, carriage rides through the historic streets, a tour of homes and an en-chanted forest display.
The celebration occurs

Warming up never felt so good next to a cozy fire-place, wrapped in a spa robe or gathered with loved ones around a comforting meal.
The Green Lake area offers ample opportunities for expe-riencing the best of a Midwest Christmas.
Whether that is tucked away in the quiet woodlands or front and center in the festivities, the picturesque scenes draw you in, leaving lasting memories and antici-pating next year’s return.

Winter Recreation in Green Lake
Snow transforms the trees and lake into a white won-derland, a magical setting for lakeside ice skating, cross-country skiing and sledding.
Snowshoe through the woodlands among shimmer-ing icicles, or get out on the lake to try out ice fishing or ice boating.
“... As it gets later [on Christ-mas eve] we turn on the TV and watch the Santa Tracker. It showed us where in the world Santa was at the time. This is still one of my favorite Christ-mas memories even though it

Bring in unwanted jewelry for double cash value towards purchase.
by Quinn Johnson
The holidays are right around the corner and the temperature is quickly drop-ping. It’s beginning to feel like a Wisconsin winter again. Already the list of activities in Green Lake are adding up and there are going to be several changes this year.
In 1980 a pine tree was planted at the site of our downtown dam in memory of Mrs. Breivogel, who with her husband, Danny, owned Spike’s Bar, presently known as “Adam’s Rib.”
Since 1995, this pine tree has been the site of the an-nual Christmas Tree lighting.
This tradition is about to change; there is a new loca-tion for the event at Town Square.
This may seem an al-teration of a long-standing tradition, but it is more of a re-establishment of an old one.
In the 1930s, the city hosted a tree directly in the middle of the intersection of Hill and Mill streets.
But, I think it would be reasonable to assume, that placing a giant pine tree in the middle of our busiest in-tersection is not exactly in the city’s best interest.
Instead, we have located the tree as close as possible to the old area. By using the lawn of Town Square and bringing in a temporary tree, we will be able to go back as close to our roots as possible.
You may be wondering what will happen to the old area of the tree lighting, and that’s what I wanted to report.
This space is going to be used as a spot for a new gar-den area, with smaller plants
As Christmas tree returns to its roots, scout plans garden

that have some winter inter-est, too.
This garden will open up the view from the windows at Adam’s Rib as well as for pe-destrians and passers-by, and
it will provide a contrast to the density of trees currently in Playground Park.
The installation of a new park bench already has been completed thanks to the Dan Thune family.
I proposed this project to the city of Green Lake Park and Recreation Committee in hopes of qualifying as my Eagle Scout Project.
The path to Eagle Scout includes not only being awarded 21 specific merit badges, but also must include planning, developing and leading a service project that will be a benefit to any reli-gious institution, school or my community.
I believe this would ben-efit the city by adding an-other improvement to the downtown, giving all a prime viewing location of the pond and dam.
Planning has been under-way for several months and included a number of meet-ings and investigating specific types of plants that would do well in this area.
I have been given enthusi-astic approval from both the City Council and Park and Recreation Committee as well as the Green Lake Chamber of Commerce and Mr. Breivo-gel.
The first phase is to re-move the old tree, which was dying, and prepare the soil. The planting will not be started until next spring.
I would like to ask you to
please consider helping me to complete this project by donating materials, time or funding. If you are interested please contact me at 294-6430 or 497 S. Lawson Drive, Green Lake, WI 54941.
As stated in the Eagle Scout handbook “An Eagle Scout project is a crowning achievement following years of fun, adventure, and ad-vancement.”
I am looking forward to working toward this rank, and with your help, feel it can be attained.
Quinn Johnson is a Green Lake High School junior. He hopes to receive his Eagle Scout badge next year.
Holiday memories
“... The ornaments we put on the tree are not silly. My mother refuses to put those up.
“... We have a fake tree, so it costs $129.99 for a tree that lasts 15 years ... We decorate it the day after it’s set up and the
decorations are either ‘Baby’s First Christmas’ or a ‘Gone With The Wind’ ornament.
“But there is one that you
know is going to make the tree perfect; that one is the Packers Super Bowl Ring from 2011 and it’s made from plastic so
it was $3.99. It takes about an hour to decorate. Then we put on the angel to symbolize our Christianity. ”
— Jordan Harrison, Green Lake High School, Grade 8
* * *
Sometimes I sneak them in at the bottom of the tree.
“One year we had a record. It took us only three hours to put up all the decorations in the house. We don’t put out any outside decorations because our dogs would just take them down.”
— Zoe Manning, Green Lake Middle School, Grade 8

Town Square’s front lawn will be the setting for a Christmas Tree lighting celebration in Green Lake on Saturday, Nov. 24 at 5 p.m. Enjoy the outdoors with your family and friends while welcoming the Christmas season to town.
Presented by the Green Lake Area Chamber of Com-merce, city of Green Lake and Town Square, join Mayor Chuck Mirr to dedicate this year’s official town tree.
Grab a hot cup of cocoa, a warm bowl of chili, nuzzle around the bonfire and sing Christmas carols along with members of the Green Lake High School choir.
Bring along your camera to snap a photo of Santa Claus! He’ll be there starting at 5 p.m. with his sleigh.
Luminaries will decorate the grounds in remembrance of loved ones gone.
Luminaries are available at the Green Lake Chamber office, the Green Lake High
School and Peace Lutheran School for a $2 donation. Proceeds from the sale of the luminaries will be donated to the Green Lake County Angel Tree Program, which serves local families in need at the holidays and throughout the year.
Starting the same weekend, Arts of Daycholah will host an artisan trunk show featur-ing the fine works from area artists.

Remember, for every $100 spent in locally owned inde-pendent stores, $68 returns to the community through taxes, payroll and other expenditures.
If you spend that in a national chain, only $43 stays here. Spend it online and nothing comes home.

Holiday memory“... When cutting down the
tree you hear the sound of the saw going back and forth; it screeches a little.
“Sometimes we take the truck out to where we’re get-ting the tree, or sometimes we make whoever’s turn it is to pick out their tree drag it back to the truck a little ways away.
“Once we get the tree back to the house it’s always a fiasco getting the tree in the
house because Mom’s yelling, ‘Don’t get the needles on the floor’ and then we’re all get-ting told to get out of the way so they can move the tree.
“It’s so fun especially pick-ing it out even if it’s not your turn to choose the tree.
“We’re goofing around, pushing each other into the snow and playing tricks on people.
“When we decorate the tree it’s so fun.
“We have all these really old ornaments that my dad had when he was a kid.
“Using these old orna-ments makes me feel like we’re carrying on a tradition.
“We usually decorate the tree together as a family. We’re crowded around the tree all yelling at each other and laughing.”
— Sully DeCramer, Green Lake Middle School, Grade 8

Guy Rossberg has been the proprietor of Wisconsin Gold & Gem at 507 Mill St. in downtown Green Lake for nearly 30 years.
While he’s seen a lot of change over the past three decades, one thing remains constant: the unique, Green Lake-shaped piece of jewelry he designed in the late 1980s.
“A good customer of mine had just returned from a trip to Jamaica and wanted a charm of the island for her bracelet and asked if I could create it,” said Rossberg, who has been creating and sell-ing fine jewelry in Wisconsin since 1973.
Being a jewelry designer, he was quite capable of ac-complishing this challenge.
Once she received her Ja-maican charm, the customer exclaimed, “Can you create one of Green Lake, too?” And from there, Rossberg has created more than a hundred of this unique charm for lov-
Green Lake is a gem — literally!Local jeweler’s signature charm may make other Wisconsin lake areas ‘green’ with envy

ers of Green Lake.“My first order was for six
charms for that special cus-tomer and since then I have had the pleasure of creating this wonderful keepsake for many ladies,” Rossberg added.
The Green Lake gem may be worn as a bracelet charm or on a chain as a necklace and is available in white gold, yellow gold and sterling silver.
Rossberg can even attach a customer’s choice of gem, be it a diamond, ruby, pearl or more appropriately, an emerald for Green Lake, as a marker for the wearer’s home or just as an added feature to an already special piece of jewelry.
“I love wearing my Green Lake necklace, especially when I’m back in Evanston, [Ill.],” said Jo Ellen Madden, Green Lake second home-owner. “People always ask, ‘That’s an interesting necklace – what is it?’ and I proudly
tell them all about beautiful Green Lake.”
Rossberg’s Wisconsin Gold & Gem will be open this win-ter on Thursdays and Fridays from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.; Satur-days from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.; and Sundays by appointment. The shop phone number is 920-294-3955.
Why not treat yourself this Christmas with that special something or at least slip a note to “Santa” who may place a little box under the Christmas tree just for you this year?
Even though Reilly’s Pub is located all by itself at the opposite end of downtown Green Lake, in the Terraces neighborhood of Big Green, it is a great place to meet friends, dine and/or share a holiday drink.
Reilly’s has a variety of wonderful activities planned for the next few months of winter beginning with Thanksgiving, when it will be open at 3 p.m. with Happy Hour from 3 to 6 p.m. serving a Turkey Dinner and appetiz-ers (grill closed).
Continue the Thanksgiv-ing weekend celebration by bringing friends and family to hear “Mike Murphy and the Mob,” an excellent Chicago-style blues band, perform on Saturday, Nov. 24. The band will play from 9:30 p.m. to 1:30 a.m.
Remember Reilly’s for stocking stuffers; buy $50 in gift cards and receive a $10 gift card free.
The weekend before Christmas, join the celebra-tion with “Stage Hoggs,” a fun rock band playing from 9:30 p.m. to 1:30 a.m. on Dec. 22.
Reilly’s will open Christ-
mas day at 3 p.m. for happy hour and serve a ham dinner for $6.95. On Dec. 29, bring friends and family for dinner and stay for “Denny Kok,” a one-man band who knows how to get a place going! He’s on stage from 9:30 p.m. to 1:30 a.m.
Keep the party going with Reilly’s New Year’s Eve Bash with dinner specials and a free champagne toast at midnight. Dance away 2012 to the modern rock band,
“Mommies L’il Monsters” from 9:30 p.m. to 1:30 a.m.
Rest during January so you can bring your sweetie for a special Valentine’s Day celebration beginning Feb. 14 and ending Feb. 16 with live music by “2 of a Kind” from 9:30 p.m. to 1:30 a.m.
And end the month on Feb. 22 dancing to modern rock music provided by “Hur-ricane Andrew” from 9:30 p.m. to 1:30 a.m. Good luck if you party all night as the next day, Feb. 23, is Reilly’s Pub Fisheree from 7 a.m. (yawn!) to 4 p.m. For more details on that exciting tour-nament, visit www.reillyspub.com.
Remember, Reilly’s Pub is an Irish pub, so just wait for March and St. Patty’s Day— watch out for that exciting event!
Reilly’s Pub is located at N4111 S. Lakeshore Drive (Markesan); phone (920) 295-0656.
Why not join the fun down at the other end of the Lake? It’s never a dull moment over at Reilly’s Pub and the Terrace community.

Before you head to a big box store or a megamall, con-sider shopping locally first.
For every $100 you spend in town, $68 comes back to the local economy through taxes, payroll and other ex-penditures — now how great is that?!
You may have heard of “The 3/50 Project,” or “Shop Small” and “Buy Local,” but this winter Green Lake is in-viting shoppers to “Keep the Holiday Cheer Here!”
Teaming up with lo-cal shops and restaurants, the Downtown Green Lake Renewal Project has created a win-win shopping/dining program.
During the four weekends of the “Christmas in Green Lake” event, for every $20 you spend in a Green Lake shop listed below, you will be given a raffle ticket to enter a weekly drawing on Nov. 18
and 25, Dec. 2 and 9. Four names every Sunday
will be chosen as winners of a $50 gift certificate to their favorite participating Green Lake area restaurant, and then it begins again on Friday. Winners will be notified by phone or by email and win-ners’ names will be posted on the Renewal Project’s Face-book page and on its website. The 16 certificates issued are good through February.
By winning the $50, you will choose a restaurant and purchase whatever meal/drinks you’d like up to $50, but no cash back and no go-ing back with an outstanding balance.
It’s a one-time deal so grab a date, grab some friends and grab some food for the full $50.
Remember, our local shops and restaurants depend on you to stay in business and what a better Christmas gift to them than to have your support and willingness to KEEP THE HOLIDAY CHEER HERE in Green Lake!

With the holidays fast ap-proaching, so come the pres-sures of the season: traveling ... cooking … entertaining … shopping .STOP!
How nice it would be to take the time to celebrate the spirit of the season. Whether time with family, reflecting on the memories of Christmas past or joining in the festive community activities, Thrash-er Opera House offers this and much more throughout the holiday season.
The annual Thanksgiving Jazz Series, hosted by Janet Planet, is the first of three holiday concerts. On Friday, Nov. 23, Chicago jazz vocalist Lisa Roti will bring a hand-picked selection of choice musicians and tunes designed to make you smile, clap or just sit back and soak in this year’s Songs of Thanks.
Saturday, Dec. 8 brings Marty McCormack and Brian Fitzgerald of the Celtic-tinged duo Switchback. The pair have become a perennial fa-vorite at Thrasher, with their
Thrasher wraps up 2012 with holiday seriescomedy with Christmas clas-sics to create a “Harmonious-ly Hysterical Holiday Hit.”
And on the subject of holidays, how are you doing in the shopping department? Having a hard time trying to buy gifts for that “cer-tain someone?” How about purchasing a gift certificate toward a live performance?
By giving certificates, you are giving in several ways:
1. A gift to yourself, because you know you’re making a difference by sup-porting the arts and putting money back into the local community.
2. A gift to the artist; live performances help support independent artists.
3. And of course, a gift to the lucky recipient.
Thrasher has just unveiled its new 2012-13 Winter/Spring Season at www.thrash-eroperahouse.com. Choose a specific performance from the wonderful variety of high- quality entertainment, or give a generic certificate in any amount. Either way, your gift of a live performance will be one filled with incred-ible talent, originality and a whole lot of fun!
To purchase certificates or for more information, call 920-294-4279 or stop by the Thrasher office. Individual tickets for concerts are avail-able at Knowledge Empo-rium, Green Lake Bank, Pick ’n Save, Ripon Drug (Ripon), and Twister (Princeton) or online.
H O L I D AY A R T I S T S performing this holiday season at the Thrasher Opera House include, above, Switchback; at right, Lisa Roti; and at bottom right, The Alley Cats.
Christmas songs interspersed with lively reels, jigs and orig-inals. It’s a true, down-home evening of holiday favorites, reminiscent of days gone by,
with a strong emphasis on audience participation.
The Alley Cats return on Saturday, Dec. 15, adding a matinee as well as an evening show.
Formed at Fullerton Col-lege in 1987, The Alley Cats have made it to the forefront of a cappella music. The Cats merge their renditions of timeless Doo-Wop clas-sics and zany improvisational
Holiday memory“... My Christmas adven-
ture starts the day before Christmas when we load up
the car with all the presents, candy and food.
“We then start the voy-
age to my Gram’s house in Illinois. During this trip, my mother plays her annoying cheesy Christmas music such as ‘Jingle Bell Rock’ (which is torture).
“We always stop at a fast food restaurant, usually a Burger King, so we can satisfy our taste for a big, greasy burger.
“Nearing the Illinois bor-der, we usually start playing our car games, such as I Spy the most stressed travelers, or I Spy the most packed cars.”

Christmas, to me, was a time of rejoicing and happi-ness, getting together with family and friends to cel-ebrate a wonderful holiday with good friends and lots of presents.
This was my perfect Christmas for many years until a few events took place that changed it forever.
There were no more big family reunions, no more great food and a lot less presents. It got smaller and smaller until last year when we did Christmas all alone.
This is a story of how Christmas use to be around my house, and how I hope it will go this year, and for many years to come.
The day would start out like any other, except that I got up when I wanted to, and got to relax for a little while before all the chaos started. Usually we’d have our tree set up a few weeks ahead of time, so we wouldn’t have to worry about it. Our tree is about 7 feet tall. It has red and white lights, and lots of bright red and gold ornaments on it.
However, after we get ready in the morning to have break-fast, Mom would give me cleaning duties to do while she made food. I would clean the rooms and get everything organized. Candles would be lit all over to get the house smelling seasonally. Christ-mas music would be played, and we’d laugh.
The house was always full of happiness while we got things ready for the party. I was excited to have a fun time with family and friends that night, so I did whatever I had to.
Food was most important. We’re a family that loves lots of good food. The night be-fore Christmas, we would get the turkey or chicken roast ready, along with any other dishes that were time con-suming. In the morning mom would get the turkey in the oven, and start with all of the other food. She would make the most amazing green bean casserole, (dad’s favorite), mashed potatoes and gravy, stuffing, vegetables, and the greatest homemade bread. Mom’s rule for the family that came was for them to bring a dish to pass. Our family is all old-school, and home-made cooking is a delicacy to us. The family would bring lots of noodle salads, stuffed mushrooms, fruit casseroles and much more. For dessert, either mom would make a fresh apple pie, or we would let a family member bring
something: apple pie, pump-kin pie, rhubarb pie, cheese cake, and many other little desserts.
Let’s just say that by the end of the night, after eat-ing all that good food, all we wanted to do was sleep or not move because we were so stuffed.
After all of the prepara-tions were complete, family and friends would arrive. We would answer the door with smiles and hugs, greeting people as they came. I’d take the presents to the Christmas tree, and help them carry in the food they brought. We’ve only had Christmas with my dad’s side of the family a

couple of times, but usually we would have a bunch of people from mom’s side, and a few close friends.
Everyone would proceed to the basement and social-ize for an hour or so until the main course was ready. There was a great energy in the room. People were smil-ing, laughing and having the greatest time talking about all the latest news. All of a sudden, we would hear mom yell for everyone to come and eat. A line would be formed throughout the house; every-one would fill their plates a few times and indulge on all of the amazing food.
After this, presents would
come to an end. Everyone would say their good-byes and give one last hug, and just like that, the day would be done.
Christmas is one of my favorite holidays. Lots of great food, company and a time to let loose and have a little fun. My greatest wish is to have the whole family together one time. I believe if that would ever happen, we wouldn’t have enough food, and we would probably gain 20 pounds!
However, it would be the greatest night of my life. All I wish is for us to have some-thing close to this year, and for many years to come.

Want to know how the snowmobile trails are in Green Lake County?
Call 920-294-3220 for a recorded, up-to-the-minute report on trail status.
Many ride the scenic trails of south central Wisconsin, in Green Lake County.
The four clubs of the Green Lake County Association of Snow-mobile Clubs maintain and groom approximately 150 miles of scenic trails, with a vast variety of trails ranging from woods, meadows, marsh, and fields.
Although snow conditions can be varied, when conditions are good, Green Lake County’s trails are superb!
The Association of Wisconsin Snowmobile Clubs (AWSC) is dedicated to the preservation of snowmobiling throughout the state by monitoring regulations and proposing legislation that could improve the sport.
The AWSC is the legislative voice for Wisconsin’s snowmobil-ers and snowmobile clubs.
Wisconsin is home to more than 22,000 miles of trails, thanks to the efforts of local snowmobile clubs such as those in Green Lake County.
Their members are tireless volunteers.
Green Lake County is a snowmobile mecca
“... This year, it was a long ride to my grandma’s because of the snow conditions and holiday.
“When we finally arrived, we went into the basement where all the presents were and I started watching the game with my cousins.
“I believe the Cowboys were playing the Lions and my family has a lot of Lions fans and Cowboys fans, so the yelling was going both ways.
“The funniest part about the game was it was on both of the TVs in the basement. One had a slight delay, so when Dez Bryant dropped the ball or Tony Romo threw an interception, the cheering or yelling on one side of the room would happen and the poor guys on the other side of the room would turn to see what was going on and then they would totally miss it.
“Due to the magic of replay they saw the whole thing in slow motion. I would laugh because I hate the Cowboys and the Packers had already won.”
— Leo Maltos, Green Lake High School, Grade 10
* * *“... After we open up all
our presents, we hurry and change, pack up the car with the other presents and head down to my grandparents’ house, which is just down the
Holiday memoriesroad.
“At my grandparents’ house in Green Lake, we are usually the first ones there.
“If you show up late, my uncles and cousins will dig through our stockings and take all the good stuff in them.”
— Claire Kinas, Green Lake High School, Grade 10
* * *“... Last year we didn’t have
a Christmas tree until three days before Christmas.
“We put off getting a Christmas tree until the last second. We couldn’t buy a fake one because they were all out.
“My dad went to the store and bought a saw.
“Next, he drove his snow-mobile to the back of our land and cut down a pine tree.
“When coming back with the snowmobile, he dropped the saw and couldn’t find it because it was 8 at night.
“He brought the tree into our house and it was too big for our living room.
“There were pine needles everywhere, and they hurt when stepped on. I stepped on 8 during the first 10 min-utes of having the tree in our house. It was horrible.
“I couldn’t decorate it be-cause I was so pokey.
“I couldn’t touch it. The only good thing about this
tree was that my cat couldn’t get into it. Usually every year my cat would go into our fake tree.
“With our tree decorated, we could move on to some good food.”
— Alexis Riggs, Green Lake Middle School, Grade 8
