Bring A Dish
Please join us for our annual Brothertown Nation Picnic. It’s an opportunity to meet-up and kick back with fellow tribal members, friends and family.
We will have grill items hamburgers, hotdogs, brats, and buns provided and prepared by The Eden Meat Market of Eden, WI. This is a potluck picnic, so you are asked to bring food (salads and desserts) to share with others. Please bring serving utensils for the dishes you bring.
At Oven Island, Lakeside Park you can enjoy the small amusement park and petting zoo (Rides include: miniature train, carousel, and roto whip) or sit and relax under the covered shelter. Canoe, Pedal Boat, and Bumper Boat rental is also available at the park.
Bake and Bring Your Best Homemade Pie.
Charity Pie Auction featuring homemade pies and creative gift baskets!
A live auction conducted by Auctioneer Don Wagner of Don Wagner’s Auction Service of Ripon.
If you like pie, you will be delighted in the homemade pie selection of the auction. Come, bring a pie to sell or money to buy one or more pies, enjoy the fun. We are looking for specialty home made pies that will garner high bids from the audience. Pie bakers need to write out a short (yummy) description of their pie on a 3x5 card and attach it to their pie so that the auctioneer can describe it to the bidders. Pies must be baked in a disposable tin since they will be auctioned. We do ask that you not bring any cream pies or cream desserts (because we don’t have refrigeration available to us).
