We would like to thank everyone in advance for your generous giving to Fill the Gazebo, which is a community event that helps fill our local food pantries and other programs in our community such as, Food for Kids, Haven, MAC Home and St. Vincent DePaul. All the giving will help the less fortunate! We take for granted sometimes all of the blessings we have. We ask at this time that if you can, please bring your perishable items, non perishable items and any cash donations to Normal Park anytime between 9-noon on Saturday, August 14th, 2021.

It is that time of year again. The Northwoods Chapter of the Antique Outboard Motor Club Inc. (AOMCI) is having their annual Antique and Classic Outboard Motor Show, Swap Meet, & Sale at Sara Park in Tomahawk August 3, 4, 5, and 6.
We will be celebrating Johnson’s & Elto’s 100th anniversaries. We will also be featuring boats made in Wisconsin.
The arena will have hundreds of outboards and boats on display. The old air strip will be full of members showing and selling outboard motors and parts. We will also have on-water events each day, and there will be a cruise and boat parade for our members through the ski bowl before the ski show on Thursday.
The show starts each morning at 8:00 a.m. with the National Anthem and will be open until 8:00 p.m. every evening except on Friday when the show ends at 5:00 p.m.
The public is invited to attend the show free of charge.
For more information or if you have any questions, you may contact me at 715.356.5649.
Thank you!
