Moonlit Movies

Hey, readers! Summer is getting the better of me, and I’ve been delinquent in my blog posts, but, I’m baaaaack!

If you are looking for something really unique and fun to do this week, visit downtown Oconomowoc, Thursday August 12. Yes, that’s tomorrow night! Starting at 6pm, you will be greeted with food and retail therapy. Then, as soon as dusk hits, grab your camp chair, and claim your favorite spot in the street, yes, IN THE STREET! Get ready to see downtown Oconomowoc transform from a bustling commercial zone, into “Hogwarts,” as you are treated to a 40 foot outdoor screening of Harry Potter. If you were around last summer, you may remember the showing of The Wizard of Oz. This will be just as much fun, so don’t miss out!

For more info, be a friend of Moonlit Movies on Facebook.

Then, drop in on Sunday evening at the City Beach, on Lac LaBelle, to watch a “Venetian Boat Parade,” followed by fireworks, over LaBelle. This kicks of the annual Festival of the Arts in Oconomowoc. Juried artists from all over the country, come to display their wares in Fowler Park. There are activities, food vendors and entertainment all week long. For more information on this event, visit their webpage

Kenosha Area Activities

Interested in moving to a new community? A great way to decide if it might meet your needs is to attend some community events. Weekend newspapers and community websites can jump-start your investigation and help you get a feel for a new place or fall in love with the community where you already are!

The Kenosha HarborMarket will run Saturday from 9-2 at Kenosha’s lake front between 54 St and 56 St. Stop by with the whole family and check out what these local vendors have to offer!

After a visit to the HarborMarket, go north a bit to Kennedy Park for the Outta Sight Kite Flight! Food, fun and kites-galore make this event worthwhile from young and old alike!

There are several reasons to head out to Bong State Park on Sunday, including a free fishing day. No license or gear needed! Come out for the fishing or the Family Nature Faire which will include a plant sale, raffles, games, food, animals, and more!
