s the over-scheduled world consumes our day-to-day activities, Green Lakers pride ourselves on our ability to balance work and play. Our relaxed resort town atmosphere is not just our lifestyle, it’s our livelihood. We embrace every day, and we are looking forward to sharing The Good Life with you. Unlike other “resort towns,” Green Lake is the state’s deepest natural inland lake; our lake is 237 feet deep, 7.5 miles long and 3 miles wide with almost 30 miles of shoreline. How that translates to apply to you is that we have plenty of room for the sport fisherman, the sail boaters, jet skiers, water skiers and pontoons. With three beautiful beaches, eight public boat launches, boat and sport rental facilities and incredible restaurants with amazing lake views, there is no shortage of activities to enjoy Green Lake. Whether you’re a spring, summer, fall or winter traveler, we welcome you to experience The Good Life of every season. Our full service B&Bs, resorts, lakefront cottages and campgrounds offer a multitude of overnight accommodation choices. From a girls’ weekend, romantic getaway, family reunion, corporate meeting or a guys’ fishing/golfing trip, Green Lake is the perfect destination for you to relax and reconnect. On behalf of our member investors, board of directors and community, I’d like to welcome you to Green Lake... The Good Life. Enjoy your visit, drive safe and return often.

From Sandstone Bluffs to the rock formations of Sliding Rock, Green Lake has the most scenic shoreline in Wisconsin (or anywhere for that matter). Powerboats, pontoon boats, sailboats and fishing boats all call Green Lake home. If you don’t own a boat, don’t fret, we have a number of boat and jet-ski rental services available. (Check under “Recreational Rentals” towards the back of this planner on page 53.) Heading for the lake? Eight public launch sites make access easy! 1. Deacon Mills Park, downtown on South Street 2.

green lake conference center — history in the making summer Green Lake Conference Center (GLCC) is a unique element in the area’s landscape. The property was discovered by Winnebago Indians in the early 1800s and later inhabited by pioneer settlers. In 1888 during a storm, Chicago socialite Jessie Lawson’s steamboat landed at Lone Tree Point on the north shore. She was so taken with its beauty that she and husband Victor, owner and publisher of the Chicago Daily News, returned to purchase 10 acres. Within 12 years, they developed Lone Tree Farm into 1,074 acres with 2½ miles of shoreline. Their working farm included prize-winning herds of Guernsey and Jersey cows. European-inspired stone walls, bridges and water towers that still stand today, their designs and meticulous construction methods were Lawson’s vision. The largest of her water towers, the 140-foot Judson Tower, has 121 spiral stairs to an observation area at the top; with its lighted cross, it stands as a landmark today. The estate was sold to H.O. Stone Company upon Jessie and Victor’s deaths. The Chicago real estate firm built an 18-hole golf course in 1928 and 1929. After a Depression-era bankruptcy, creditors ran the estate as a resort until it was purchased by the Northern Baptists in 1943 as the national training center. Dr. Luther Wesley Smith encouraged this purchase, and it was made possible with financial help from James L. Kraft of Kraft Foods and other Northern Baptist leaders. Today, a beautiful Christian conference and leadership training center, GLCC partners with both the American Baptist Churches and the wider Christian family to renew and equip ministry leaders, offer family and youth retreats, and fill the Center with people having great experiences and a closer walk with God. GLCC serves more than 4,000 people a year at family conferences and family reunions, and more than 8,000 kids at youth camps. Excellent meeting space and accommodations (hotel rooms/suites, lakefront and forest houses, dorms, cabins, and campsites) are available for rental groups of up to 1,000. A total of 720 people can be seated in Bauer Dining Room. This includes two adjoining private dining rooms which seat 80 to 90 people each, providing intimate settings for small groups and banquets. With 30,000 square feet of www.visitgreenlake.com

Today the Inn sits brimming with potential on the shores of Big Green Lake. It is clamoring for a new lease on life in which the original design elements that worked so well are reintroduced in a manner that translates to the 21st Century. The website, www.RogerWilliamsInn.com, features a video about the vision for a rejuvenated Inn as well as history, old photos, restoration plan and timeline. Restoration has begun on its exterior and interior so that this classic hotel will continue to be a wonderful place to renew guests for decades to come!
GLCC guests consistently report that once they enter the gates, they feel a sense of peace and tranquility as they wind down into the main area. An abundance of inspirational places are ideal for meeting in small groups, contemplating retreat topics, and being alone and quiet. The conference center is a sacred place.

“summer shindig” celebrates the season

the prize. Many families have made this event a long-standing tradition, and more healthy competition ensues. Sign up before the event at the chamber or at the event before the race starts.
On Saturday, June 14, our Summer Shindig welcomes families to downtown Green Lake at 5 p.m. Enjoy kids’ entertainment like carnival games, inflatable activities, clowns and other magical fun. Grown-ups can kick back and relax on this summer evening, and enjoy raffles, bingo and refreshing libations.
After all that commotion, you may want to settle in for a bite to eat. Our service organizations put on a great barbecue with hot-off-the-grill summer favorites such as burgers and steak sandwiches. Check out the festival vendors for freshly popped kettle corn, to-die-for hand-dipped cheese curds or a frozen, refreshing treat of an ice cream cone or a snow cone.
Our long-standing tradition of racing beds down the street promises belly-laughs and healthy competition for the fastest time. You’ll catch yourself cheering one of two teams as they race on to dress in their night clothes, make their bed and run to the opposite end of the street aboard wire framed beds on wheels. There, the “slumbers” eat a cookie and drink their milk before returning to bed and racing to the finish line. Relay after relay, the bed races keep the crowd laughing. These races are open to any daring team of three. Be quick on your feet because the best time wins.
Perhaps you’re feeling lucky. Grab a handful of raffle tickets for your chance to win fun prize packages. Put together with finds around Green Lake and beyond, these prize lots will send you home with the perfect assortment of items to remember your fantastic time at the Summer Shindig. And, if you are a good guesser, check out the jar contest. Merchants in downtown Green Lake provide a giant jar of goodies, which will go to the person who can come the closest to guessing the actual number of items!
More shenanigans continue when adults race on modified adult-sized tricycles through a course of cones. Wearing protective head and knee gear, each contestant mounts this classic, slightly oversized, tricycle and speeds through the course. Down the street and back again, the quickest to pedal takes 12
Classic fun and family time make the Summer Shindig a Green Lake event you won’t want to miss. The shindig is put on by the Green Lake Area Chamber of Commerce and all proceeds benefit the Green Lake Area.

Pull up by boat or walk in with chairs — however you get there — you’ll find plenty of grass seating for everyone and not a bad view in the house. Each band gets a 30-minute set, with a 15-minute break between each band’s performances. During the first round of performances, votes are cast to choose the top two bands to advance to the second round. The top two bands play a second 30-minute set before votes are cast again. The winner is announced around 9 p.m. and invited to play an encore performance for the crowd. For the die-hard fans out there, when one vote just isn’t enough, you can purchase your favorite band’s bumper sticker at the souvenir tent and it will count as an additional vote towards that band. You will also find fun t-shirts and souvenirs for sale. All proceeds from this event benefit the Green Lake area. To find out more about this event or enter your band, contact the Green Lake Area Chamber at 800-253-7354, by email: info@visitgreenlake.com, or download an application online at www.visitgreenlake.com. Green Lake’s Battle of the Bands is made possible by the Green Lake Area Chamber and many Green Lake businesses. 13

frozen big green is an ice fisherman’s paradise
a
fter a hectic holiday season, relax and unwind out on the frozen waters of Big Green Lake. Freezing temperatures in December create ideal conditions on Big Green for ice fishing. Anglers have a unique opportunity to fish for deep water fish species typically not available to weekend anglers in the Midwest. This ideal mix of cold and deep water make Green Lake a popular destination and tradition to anglers seeking an exceptional fishing experience on the solid water. Famous for the lake’s population of great tasting and trophy lake trout, the lake also yields tremendous catches of freshwater cisco. This member of the Whitefish family is delicious when smoked or broiled. Both species are readily targeted through the rental of a furnished, heated shanty by one of the lake’s three area outfitters.
Mike Norton’s Fishing Adventures (920-295-3617 — www.biggreenlakefishing.com ) will provide a heated ice shack and all the equipment necessary for jigging and bait fishing lake trout. The Norton “Ice Train,” an ice sled pulled by a specially equipped Suzuki Samurai with flotation devices, transports the anglers for a half or whole day of fishing. Mike’s specialty is providing an affordable way for parties to enjoy ice fishing on Green Lake with no investment in equipment or any prior knowledge of ice fishing techniques. Dennis Walker’s Guide Service (920-294-0611 — www.greenlakefishing.com) also provides heated ice shacks and full setups for its anglers. Additionally, Dennis Walker will set up your ice fishing adventure to target both deep water species as well as more traditional fare, including northern pike, walleye and panfish.
Come ride the scenic trails of south central Wisconsin, in Green Lake County. The four clubs of the Green Lake County Association of Snowmobile Clubs maintain and groom approximately 150 miles of scenic trails, with a vast variety of trails ranging from woods, meadows, marsh and fields. Although snow conditions can be varied, when conditions are good, the trails are great! Call 920-294-3220 for trail information and to request a map.
snow shoeing and cross-country skiing Snow shoeing and cross-country skiing are available at the Green Lake Conference Center. Visit www.glcc.org for reservations and maps.
Joel Baranowski, of North Bay Sports, (920-294-6462 — glfishing@yahoo.com ) has years of successful open water and ice fishing experience on the big waters of this fisherman’s paradise. Your ice fishing party will not only be guided for the deep water species, but also for perch, panfish and trophy pike. North Bay can also provide you with the latest in equipment, bait and refreshments for your adventures on the lake.
A word of warning and caution: Due to its extreme depth, Big Green is one of the last lakes in the state to freeze over, so anglers are forewarned to always check on ice conditions by stopping by or calling any of the area guides mentioned above. Locations of heaves and open water can change quickly, making it especially important to check on ice conditions and reports from various areas of the lake before heading out on this natural public treasure. www.visitgreenlake.com

Thrasher Opera House has been serving the communities all around the Green Lake area since 1910 when Charlie Thrasher saw to it that there would be a place in town where many kinds of events could bring people together. The fact that the opera house was originally the hub of community activity is no surprise. When Charlie Thrasher built it over a century ago, the facility hosted school dances, basketball games, town meetings and town lectures. Before television and radio, the days of vaudeville brought traveling theatrical companies to Green Lake. As time evolved, so did the opera house. Charlie Thrasher operated his namesake opera house until 1939. However, by WWII the building languished Since its reopening, the Thrasher provides 50-to-60 into a warehouse and eventually fell into a severe state nights of diverse programming that includes music of disrepair, slated for condemnation. and theater performances, comedy, educational In 1994, Ron Hagstrom, a prominent real estate workshops for youth and adults, school plays, as well broker in Green Lake with a lifelong interest in as community forums and debates.

et’s face it. Life is short and your daily to-do list is long. Well, it’s time to set aside that list and start a new one. Town Square calls it the “always-wantedto-do list.” What should be on your list? It can be anything. The concept is a little like a bucket list. The difference being, you don’t wait around until you’re half dead to get started on it. That’s what Town Square is all about. The new community center in the former Green Lake County courthouse building is the place to get started on the things that are important to you. It’s the hot new spot to get creative, get healthy and learn something new. At Town Square, they have their priorities straight with a focus on art, wellness, environment and education. Every day, you’ll find people who will expand your world and help get you closer to becoming the person you’ve always wanted to be. Town Square’s visitor-friendly community center format was created by The Cornerstone Project Inc., a non-profit group who acquired the historic and centrally-located buildings from Green Lake County in the summer of 2012. The concept brings an urban advantage (proximity) to a rural area. It joins artists, scientists, wellness specialists, educators and businesspeople in a Da Vinci-like atmosphere, where ideas collide to create innovative thought. Town Square’s program and event schedule is available online at www.greenlaketownsquare.com.

Giant undulating greens test your putting ability and sand traps galore wait to swallow an errant shot. Water hazards come into play on the final four holes. With bent-grass fairways and overall superb conditioning, the layout appeals to golfers of all abilities. In 1999, Mascoutin opened a new mystifying nine designed by Rick Jacobson.
