Mardi Gras Weekend

The third weekend of July brought Mardi Gras fun to the Northwoods as the Lakewood Area Chamber hosted our local version of  this  celebration. Activities in and around the area included a softball tournament, pickleball tournament, and cornhole tournament. Kids enjoyed a fishing pond, a small carnival with rides, and treats like elephant ears and cotton candy. The weekend was packed with live music, fireworks, and a lively parade on Sunday.

The Paul Bunyan Riders Snowmobile Club was proud to support and participate in the festivities all weekend long. Club members bartended Friday night, hosted meat and 50/50 raffles on Saturday, and joined the parade on Sunday — accompanied by our very own Paul Bunyan!

A big thank you to everyone who came out, participated, or volunteered to make the weekend such a success. We’re grateful to be part of such a vibrant and supportive community!
