Carnival - 3:00 p.m. - 10:00 pm at the Civic Center Lot.
Guys on Ice! - 7:00 p.m. - 9:00 p.m. Per the show: "This musical is a humorous take on the secret world of ice fisherman through a day in the life of Marvin and Lloyd, fishing buddies and homegrown philosophers.
This is a musical treat about two guys sharing their hopes, dreams, beer, and fish. On a cold winter morning they swap jokes, talk about their lives and the Green Bay Packers while waiting for the host of a local TV fishing show to show up. Guys on Ice will give you the joys and trials of ice fishing without having to freeze your socks off."
