Our Regular Season is Winding Down...
& We Would Like to Say THANK YOU for All You Have Done to Make It a Grea

Join Us for this Year's "Harvest Gathering,"
in Celebration of Our Accomplishments and in Support of Our Future!
Portage’s Historic Indian
Agency House will host a “Harvest Gathering” on Saturday, October 18
from 4pm
to 7pm. This event is to both a
celebration of much-appreciated community support and camaraderie, and a
relaxed and casual fundraiser. This
family-friendly event will feature bluegrass music by Sauk-Prairie’s JS
Trippers (back by popular demand), craft beer and apple cider and a fall
feast
of chili, cornbread, sloppy joes and a variety of desserts.
In addition, a “General
Store” of donated items will be set up in the Gift Shop area, with 100%
of the
proceeds applied to future educational programming and operations expenses.
Start your Christmas shopping early! Several generous businesses, entrepr
eneurs
and individuals contributed items that will be for sale that afternoon, i
ncluding,
but certainly not limited to, Amish-made pies and breads, locally produ
ced
coffee, popcorn, maple syrup, cheese and wine, crocheted bags, ha
ts and
scarves, and Wisconsin-themed books.
There is also a unique
Silent Auction offering, entitled “Mineral Point Mini-Vacation.” This
package
includes a one-night stay at The Historic Cothren House (a popular Mineral
Point bed-and-breakfast), two tickets to the Orchard Lawn historical attr
action
and a Mineral Point self-guided walking tour book. (A wonderful gift for th
at
special couple in your life, or perhaps as a mother-daughter getaway?)
The admissions cost is only
$12 for adults (and includes musical entertainment and all refreshments),
with
children 12 and under admitted free of charge. Reservations are appreciated
,
