Golf outing, circus parade are on the way
With our Annual Dinner in the books, our focus now pivots to two more of our signature annual events – the Big Top Parade and the annual Chamber Golf Classic.
The parade will kick off at 11 a.m. on Saturday, June 14, in our picturesque downtown. As usual, we will feature dozens of units, including beautifully restored circus wagons from Circus World, marching bands, lots of horses, entertainment acts, community floats and more.
An added attraction this year will be a major presence by The Wheelmen, who will be holding their 58th annual national meet in the Baraboo area to coincide with the parade. The Wheelmen is a national, nonprofit organization dedicated to keeping alive the heritage of American cycling, promoting the restoration and riding of early cycles manufactured in or before 1932, and encouraging cycling as part of modern living. More than 50 of their members are expected to lead off the parade on their giant bicycles.
And on Tuesday, June 24, Chamber members and supporters will flock to Baraboo Country Club for our annual Golf Classic. The event will feature dozens of silent auction items, raffle prizes and hole events. Details will be shared in upcoming editions of the Chamber Review.
Volunteers are needed for both of these events. If you are interested, please drop an email to director@baraboochamber.com or memberrelations@baraboochamber.com.
