❄️ Snowmobile Safety Class
2025-12-08 18:00 - 21:00 | Shadows on the Wolf Educational Center, N5575 Old Highway 54, Shiocton, Wisconsin, 54170, United States
While some might argue that it’s too early to put the Christmas tree up or break out the winter hats and mittens, we here at the Sheriff’s Office say it’s never too early to learn snowmobile safety! The season is actually right around the corner – whether your holiday festivities have begun or not – and we encourage all riders to be educated, prepared, and safe.

Persons 12 years or older and born after January 1, 1985 must have a snowmobile safety certification to operate a snowmobile on public trails or waterways. The reading material and testing is geared towards 11 and 12 year old students. If you have any questions, feel free to contact Deputy Fischer at the Outagamie County Sheriff’s Office 920-832-5605 or at the email provided on the Go Wild registration site.

Students must register online using the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources Go Wild page. Select the link to browse for safety courses and search for Snowmobile in Outagamie County. You will find our class at the Shadows on the Wolf Educational Center. A parent or guardian MUST attend the first class; but adults are encouraged to attend all the classes with their students. Students should bring something to write with and booklets will be provided.

🛍 Shop Small Support Local
2025-12-07 00:00 - 23:59 | Wisconsin
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 We are also rolling out a Farm Fresh Directory.

One of the fundraisers is set up as an open-ended so we’ll be able to help several organizations for as long as there is interest in the products.
