Happy Saturday!

We open at 11:30 today, Badgers play at 11:30.

A reminder to all doing the Yellow Thunder Snowmobile Club Sponsorship Ride don't forget to get your Schoepp's stamp before turning your cards in at KDs by 4pm today.

All attendance entries need to be in by 3 today for the 4pm drawing. We had a full pot rollover last week so it will be a good one today!

Brewer game will be on at 3:05

Addressing the elephant in the room, Yes, we are watching the weather! That being said we decided to cancel the 3 PM surprise musical entertainment because they would've had to play outside we will get them back next year.
We are moving forward with Oktoberfest 2026 with James Crockett music James Crockett will be inside playing from 4-7pm. Brats, Sauerkraut, Soft Pretzels with Cheese, German Potato Salad, Chips and Cookies will be available along with whatever else shows up for food.
Regarding games, we will do whatever we can inside if needed, but we will make a final call about setting up a tent as the weather situation becomes clearer to us. For now prepare to be close and cozy in our tiny little bar! Just a reminder, dressing up is encouraged! There just might be a prize involved.
Games will start around 4:15. I'm not going to do a set timeline at this time until I know better what we will be doing so stay tuned for an update later. Lisa Hyser and Kim Sagmoen Garber we're both caught practicing our new game, see pictures for a clue!!

We want to wish our friends Lincz and Madi a wonderful wedding day! Jessica Lynn Frey
