HELLO AND WELCOME!

Iam Mayor Chad Leonard, City of Amery. I am so grateful for your interest in our “City of Lakes”. Amery is a great community that offers many opportunities to play, shop, stay and live. For you outdoor enthusiasts, recreation is plentiful with biking and hiking trails. Our rivers and lakes are some of the best in the region to enjoy watersports and fishing. We offer many great places to eat, drink and socialize. I consider our community to have the best options around for those that are looking for that perfect vintage item for their home or cabin from one of our many vintage shops. I hope you have a great time exploring our beautiful city as there is something for everyone.

Hurry Back!

WELCOME HOME!

Amery has been the place I have called home my entire life. Whether you have decided to plant roots here or you are visiting, I hope our little town gives you a homey feel with all it has to offer.

Amery is a small community with big offerings. A combination of multigeneration owned family businesses and new entrepreneurs provide Amery a unique blend of staple and specialty shopping.

Amery is filled to the brim with community events. Several summer music series, festivals and State trail activities provide a little something for everyone. A blend of culinary options sees those who crave down home goodies to foodies with particular palates all being extremely satisfied.

Once you visit Amery, you are bound to schedule a return trip.

Sitting on the banks of the Apple River, Amery began as a lumberjacking town. The community grew around the sawmill. At this time, the area was known as “Big Dam.”

In 1887, the Soo Line Railroad depot was built as well as a hotel. Small stores and homes followed. The city was named Amery after William Amery. He was born in England in 1831. Amery learned the carpentry trade in London and ventured to the U.S. in 1861. Originally, he lived in Stillwater, eventually settling in Polk County, WI. There, he became a prominent resident and county treasurer. He died in 1887, after which they renamed of the area known as Big Dam to Amery.

1888-1893 were the years of Amery’s building boom. An implement store, furniture store, doctor’s office, hardware store and post office popped up.

Those years also saw many saloons opening their doors in Amery. By 1890 there were at least six and the nights were celebrated long and loud. An 1889 report details a fellow by the name of Charles Park owed a bill in which the saloon keeper was trying to collect. A fight ensued, resulting in Park being hit over the head with a beer bottle by Ole Hoserud. Park succumbed to his injuries. His death certificate stating he came to his demise at the hand of a beer bottle.

The city is not as rowdy as it once was, but there is still plenty of fun to be had.

Early years saw lumber mills, canning factories and cheese factories establishing the roots of a city where people could work, live and play. Products have changed, but industry itself has remained a constant.

Today, Amery is just a stones throw from the Twin Cities, which is convenient, but many find everything they need right here in 54001.

THE EVENT OF THE YEAR AMERY FALL FESTIVAL

Food-check. Music-check. Artcheck. Parade-check. Carnivalcheck. Back up plans in case of a boring time-DON”T BOTHER!

Thursday, May 26th 1949, 25 men gathered at the Amery Legion Hall to discuss proposals for a fall community affair. Allen Kinney, president of the Amery Community Club, formed the group and G.E. Niccum prepared a committee plan. The name “Fall Festival” was chosen and directors were elected to manage the festival and funds that would be maintained from year to year.

Since 1949, there have been many changes to the festival from year to year. The one constant? A group of dedicated volunteers has worked tirelessly throughout the year to provide a entertainment-filled

weekend for residents and visitors alike.

From handfuls of mouthwatering food choices, ice cold cans of dance move confidence (or as some call beer), car shows, rides, games, a

mega-parade and arts & crafts galore-there is one thing for sure; you will never visit the Amery Fall Festival just once. Year after year people flock to the fun times of the Fall Festival.

AMERY SUMMERS WILL BE MUSIC TO YOUR EARS

If you want to follow the advice the well-known group the Doobie Brothers and “Whoa, oh listen to the music,” then Amery is the place to be during the summer months. Amery is the place for summer music almost every day of the week in 2023. Local taverns are jamming, and with the cherished Music on The River concert series on the third Friday of June, July and August; plus the lovely weekly concert series known as “Summer Wednesdays,” Amery is a mecca of music.

The Danielson Stage in Michael Park hosts all of the events and both feature food and drink options as well.

Music on the River has a classic car show hosted by Amery Chevrolet and it sure draws a crowd! One of the Music on the River coordinators, Tom Bensen, said, “As word gets out, our summer three-part concert series Music on the River continues to swell. It is a great time. We want to remind people these are free concerts

all provided by the generosity of our local businesses and sponsors. Without them, we would not be able to put on these great shows.”

Music on the River features two musical acts at each event. The opening show is at 5 p.m. and the headliner starts at 7 p.m.

The Summer Wednesday events take place each Wednesday from JuneAugust, starting at 6 p.m. They feature high quality performers in a wide range of styles - a little something for everyone!

“The Danielson Stage at Michael Park in Amery was designed to be one of the best places to hear live music and the community obviously appreciates it,” says Summer Wednesday music coordinator Woody McBride, “This is not your average concert in the park - these are top notch performers that play from the heart - and the audience can feel itI know I can.”

AMERY ART & CRAFT FAIR

Mark your calendars to stroll through an outdoor mall of sorts; held the Saturday before Father’s Day each June. Amery’s North Park is the place to be as 2023 sees the Woman’s Club hosting their annual Art and Craft Fair for the 45th year.

Years ago, the event started on the sidewalks of Keller Avenue and today sits nestled along the tree lined walkway of beautiful North Park. Organizers say the Amery Art and Craft Fair has transitioned into a very large, diverse and fun annual event showcasing the talents of local and area crafters and artists.

The Amery Art and Craft Fair provides a showcase for crafters and artists from the local and surrounding areas. A plethora of exhibit booths feature a variety of unique craftsmanship and talent. It is a favorite fair of many vendors who return year after year. There is no reason for shoppers to leave empty-handed as the fair truly features something for everyone. Organizers said, “If it is something special you are seeking, this is the place to find it!”

Various food items from gyros to gourmet popcorn will delight your taste buds, but make sure to leave room for dessert. Famous for their homemade cookies, Amery Woman’s Club members will have dozens of varieties of their special baked goods available for sale at the AWC booth. New this year, there will be musical entertainment for the Fair goers.

The fair is the biggest yearly fundraiser for the Woman’s Club to raise monies in support of many community charitable organizations, including over $3,250 in scholarships to local youth and adult non-traditional students.

Grab your friends and family and make a day of it. There is no admittance fee and the yearly event runs from 9a.m. until 3p.m.

See you at the fair!

HOLLY JOLLY STROLL

It is typically a chilly day, but that is why chili is provided!

A kick-off to winter, Amery’s Holly Jolly Stroll is a day filled to the brim with holiday hullabaloo.

The Holiday stroll was an idea set forth by the Amery Free Press 38 years ago, as a day to drop by participating Amery businesses for a little taste of season greetings. The tradition has continued on at the hands of the Amery Free Press, the Amery Community Club the Amery Fire Department and cooperating businesses. You will find variety of activities, which in years past have included free smores and hot cider in Soo Line Park, horse and wagon rides, a Woman’s Club cookie sale, pictures with Santa, tea with Mrs. Claus, carolers, winter workshops, crafts, and an “Ugly Sweater Dash” 5k walk/ run.

It also serves as a day of giving. There are opportunities to donate to Polk County Operation Christmas by decorating the Christmas tree there with “new” mittens, scarves, hats and coats.

There is non-perishable food donation drop spots for area food shelves and the Amery Fire Department takes donations for Toys for Tots.

The day winds down each year with the mega fire department Chili Feed and the Light Up the Town parade.
