These are the donations still needed for the delivery to Burnsville NC. Our absolute biggest need right now is money towards the transportation/fuel costs. We got a lot of wonderful donations during our first run of donations.

Checks and fuel cards can be either dropped off at Fire & Iron Gathering or mailed to PO Box 29 Bear Creek WI 54922 (Please make checks payable to Marie Vandenberg)

The weather in Burnsville is similar to ours right now so if we hurry, we can get there and back before the snow flies!

We are working on creating a new and improved Rural Northeast Wisconsin Families Restaurant Guide! Let us help make the mealtime decisions easier.

As a hockey family, knowing who is open after games and practices, that serves something for my entire family is a MUST-HAVE! (so any restaurants within a 90-minute drive of Shawano is ideal)

We know a lot of people love to support their local businesses, but may not know all the services that are provided. We’re working on closing that gap by offering a business directory. If you’re interested in becoming part of our business directory, you can find out more here

**personal note** My daughter joined hockey at 9-years old (last year). She took the LTS class at the same time and I highly recommend it! It’s fun, and educational. The HS players are truly amazing with the young’uns.

Even if you don’t want your child playing hockey, teaching them to ice skate is a skill that will come in handy for their entire life. (speaking as a mom who can’t ice skate/rollerblade at all).
