It appears Camp King Dong is having a great time at the Hodag Country Fest. The gang came out to celebrate Queen’s birthday(a little early) on a beautiful afternoon for a cruise.

Great to have you back! Sorry, no ducks this year.

Karlyn Tiffany started her summer project painting river scenes on the blocks that hold up the tent at Wisconsin River Cruises. On this picture she is working on lilies that are numerous on the Wisconsin River.

Hopefully Karlyn will complete the otter on a rock next week.

SIN Night, a new cruise for 2010, kicks off Sunday, June 27th at 6pm. Featured entertainment on the 27th will be The Brian West Show. Brian will bring his entertaining show including the Photo Booth for the performance.

Service Industry Night is for hospitality staff in the region. If you are a store clerk, bartender, waitstaff or anyone who is on the front lines serving the public, this cruise is for you.

There are many fine attractions in the Northwoods of Wisconsin.  We are highlighting, via our blog, some of the fun and informative things to do.  Vogel’s Farm in Elcho is one of those places.  With a menagerie of animals, it is a fun family visit.

For more information, check them out here.

The Kovac Planetarium east of Rhinelander has opened for the season.  If you travel about 20 miles east of Rhinelander on Hwy 8, you will see their sign.  Frank Kovac bills his attraction the world’s largest mechanical planetarium.

I was fortunate enough to get a private showing from Frank about a month ago.  It was an excellent show!  Frank is very knowledgeable about all things having to do with the planets and stars.

Wisconsin River Cruises dinner theater schedule begins Friday night June 18th.  Professional actors from Northern Lights Playhouse will be performing, The Altos…think the Sopranos, only lower.  Cruise staff will be checking ALL passengers for weapons before boarding!

The Altos will have two performances every Friday including a 1:00 matinee and the 6:00 evening performance.  The matinee has been added this season due to overflow crowds last year.  The matinee is especially suited to group tours, senior groups and those who enjoy an afternoon of entertainment.

The Altos is featured every Friday through September 3rd.

Cliff Zimbler, aka Cliff the Magic Man, has a magic shop in Downtown Rhinelander.  If you are looking for the ‘tools of the trade’–Cliff has it.  And he might just be willing to help you  get started or show you amateur magicians a few of his tricks.  Also, Cliff is available for magic performances.

The Rodeway Inn hosted the annual wedding show in Tomahawk last weekend. Lots of good vendors in attendance selling their wares. It was great to see Linda Maull there with her jewelry display. It was a lot of fun being next to the Brian West Show. Brian has an interesting gig with magic, DJ and a game show. Sounds interesting.

There were many other vendors from caterers to tuxedo rentals in attendance. All in all a fun day showing off what the Northwoods has to offer to brides.

We are excited to announce that we have recently launched our new website! There will be regular updates to the blog to keep you informed of our news and latest happenings on the river and Northwoods. We will also now be offering you the option to upload your Wisconsin River Cruise pictures for possible submission to the site and blog. Stay tuned!
