Christmas Tree unloading was on November 21st at 8:00 am. 'Many hands made light work'. If you participated in the unloading, be sure to let Courtney know.
Tree Sales begin right after Thanksgiving. Please sign up for as many slots as possible. We have had a great response to the tree sales sign up and as such only have a few slots open.

Ideally would would like to fill the earlier slots first. We hope to be out of trees by the 23rd.Remember all tree's being sold are at the YMCA lot and not the Fairgrounds this year. The lot at the Fairgrounds has been closed. The calendar has been posted you can log in and see the dates your tribes have signed up for at

Museum Sleepover
Coordinator: Wayne Kriemelmeyer

Very good news. We have planned a second Shedd sleepover on April 9th. If you were not able to get into the first Shedd sleepover on March 19th or did not sign up for the event, nows your chance. We are guessing that we will have about 100-150 folks participating in this sleepover, although we can have up to 300 spots at this point. The cost is $60 per person and it includes parking. Please let Wayne know if you are interested and approximately how many will likely go from your tribe because he needs to get them a down payment to reserve our spots. Wayne will be collecting money for the event at the December 1st Longhouse. (We will NOT be able to switch tribes from the March 19th date to this one.). You must be registered in the program to attend this event.
