SUMMARY:🦌 Author Meet and Greet: Deer Mother Presentation
DESCRIPTION:FREE Presentation Come\, learn\, and hear about the author’s interactions and experiences that occurred to make this book possible. Meet and chat with the author as well. Books available for order/purchase. Book Description: “When we built our home on a small\, wooded lake in Northern Wisconsin\, we looked forward to a life surrounded by wild creatures. We never imagined that we would be sharing this place with a family of deer who would be staring in our windows when we woke up in the morning. Deer Mother is an intimate family photo album that chronicles the life of one very friendly White-tailed Deer and her many fun-loving fawns\, over the years. Daisy is a skilled and dedicated mother\, and her fawns have brought us immense joy\, and many fond memories\, many of which are illustrated in this\, my first self-published book of nature photography. In his 50th year of chasing the light\, photographer David Heritsch has worked in many genres\, including sports\, commercial\, and wedding photography\, but now concentrates mostly on his lifelong passion for wildlife photography. He lives with his wife\, Pam\, on a small lake in the northeast corner of Wisconsin. They share this space with over 50 species of birds\, amphibians\, and mammals that they have counted in the woods\, on the lake\, and in the sky that surrounds.”FREE RSVP (helps with seating)

SUMMARY:🚣🛶 Warm‑Water Winter Paddle at Lake Columbia
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a bucket‑list paddle on one of Wisconsin’s most unique winter waters. Lake Columbia is a 378‑acre warm‑water lake created as a cooling pond for Alliant Energy’s 1\,100‑megawatt plant. Water drawn from the Wisconsin River becomes superheated during the cooling process and is released into the lake — keeping it surprisingly warm year‑round. In winter\, temps near the plant can reach 70°\, and in summer they can exceed 100°.This warm water meeting cold air creates a surreal landscape: rolling fog\, frost‑covered trees\, ice‑crusted grasses\, and shimmering hoar frost on everything from fences to rocks. It’s a photographer’s dream and a great place to spot eagles.What to Expect:* Out‑and‑back paddle; choose your route based on conditions* Lake is ~1.75 miles long and under 0.5 miles wide* A narrow dike runs almost the full length of the lake* Ideal conditions: sunny\, calm dayWhat to Bring:* Kayak or paddleboard or canoe* PFD (required)* Dry bag\, warm layers\, and winter paddling gear* Camera or phone for photos* Water & snacks* Lunch on your own afterwardsPlease RSVP at shawanopaddlers@gmail.com\, thank you!Who’s Welcome:Anyone who wants a unique\, warm‑water winter paddle with great scenery and a relaxed pace.

SUMMARY:🎳 Kids Bowl Free
DESCRIPTION:It’s that time when families start planning on what they’re going to do for the summer! \n\n\n\nLet Kids Bowl Free help!  Each registered child (check each center for age requirements) gets to bowl 2 games free every single day!  (Check individual bowling alleys for shoe rental details) all summer long at NO Cost to Parents!  (But plan for the concessions…. my kids LOVE bowling alley food\, just sayin’) \n\n\n\nParents\, do you want to bowl with your kids? Then you’ll want to check out the Family Pass! This allows parents\, older siblings and babysitters to bowl alongside the registered kids. This is a one-time payment that allows up to 4 adults to bowl 2 games free all summer long\, with your Kids Bowl Free registered children. (You can add the family pass on at any time during the season.) \n\n\n\nHow it works: \n\n\n\n\nLocate a Kids Bowl Free participating location near you (this is the only one covered all summer)\n\n\n\nRegister – Create your Kids Bowl Free account and register your kids.  Decide if the Family Pass is right for your family.\n\n\n\nHave Fun – Make Memories – Go Screen-Free — Make New Friends–  Bowl 2 games free every day\, all summer long! \n\n\n\n\nThings to Note: \n\n\n\n\nEach bowling alley determines the times the program is active. Program begins April 30th! You can find the details here when you choose a location near you. Dates and Times will vary! (I’ve seen some start as early as April 30th and as late as June 1st and end between August 30-Sept 2) I’ve seen only 1 with hours available 7 days a week.\n\n\n\nCheck each location for age requirements. I’ve seen them range from 2-18 with some ending as early as 15.\n\n\n\nI found at least 8 participating centers within 60 minutes of Clintonville.\n\n\n\nThe Registration is not transferable between the different bowling centers.
