Wendi Neupert, Boulder Junction Lions Club President, remarked, “What greater tribute to our Lions Club than to celebrate 50 years of Lions service to the Boulder Junction Community by dedicating this event to the Playground Project! Families, youth, and grandparents are encouraged to attend this event in support of the new expanded playground that will be built in the fall. “
The Lions Club is currently seeking sponsors for this fun event! The carnival and concert, currently co-sponsored by Sauter Builders, Boulder Bear Motor Lodge, the Richardson-Michaud American Legion Post 451, Acorn Motel, WebWorkLife as well as the Boulder Junction Lions Club, will be held “rain or shine” at the Boulder Junction Community Center facility, 5392 Park Street, Boulder Junction, WI. The carnival will be in the parking lot behind the building and the concert will be on the lawn area behind the building. Attendees are encouraged to bring their own lawn chairs or blankets.
The “Come Play Together” Carnival portion of the event begins at 11am and runs until 3pm. There is no admission fee to the carnival. Families attending will purchase tickets to play the carnival games and tokens will be earned to redeem prizes.
The games will feature some of the favorites from the North Lakeland “Kornstalk Karnival”. In addition to the games there will be a Celebrity Dunk Tank and two bounce houses. Tickets in any quantity. 50 tickets for $20 to play all the games are available at the event.
Boulder Bear Motor Lodge owners, Dennis and Cathy Duke, have generously donated the “Come Play Together” Roy Rivers Concert portion of the event which begins at 3:15 pm. All proceeds of concert ticket sales will go directly to the Playground Project Fund.
The concert headliner will be Roy Rivers, a John Denver tribute artist from Tucson, Arizona.
Theresa Smith, former Chamber Director, will be the emcee for the afternoon concert and will introduce the performers. Bret & Frisk, a local “treat” whose music ranges from a “few hits of the 1950’s all the way up to present day alternative rock and folk” will perform from 3:15pm-4:15pm. They have a very diverse song list of about 100 popular artists.
The concert headliner will be Roy Rivers, a John Denver tribute artist from Tucson, Arizona. Roy, a gifted singer/songwriter who has played in Boulder Junction before, will begin at 4:30 pm and play until 6:30pm. Roy performs many favorite John Denver songs, plus some of his own originals.
Families are encouraged to purchase concert tickets in advance. A “Family of 4 Package” is $40 and includes 4 admissions (2 adults/2 children or 1 adult/3 children). An Adult ticket is $20. A Youth ticket (7 – 17 years old) is $10 and children 6 and under are free.
The Lions Club will be selling food and the Richardson-Michaud American Legion Post #451 will be selling beverages during the afternoon and early evening.
