There are 2 upcoming events that I think are important events for this community. The first one involves the area Cub Scouts and is the 25th Anniversary of the Chuckwagon Skills Day. This event is really a joy to wact as the young boys pull minature replica wagons throught Cam Phillips from one fort to another, Each fort has a certain skill the boys have to learn or demonstrate. This is such a great look at the youth of our community doing something positive, and this event dates back to one of the first of it's kind in the nation.. Support your local Boy Scouts..

The other event that I think is really cool is being brought to town by the wausau VFW. It will be in July and it's called Celebrating Freedom. The center piece of this celebration an 80% replica of the Vietnam veterans memorial. I first had a chance to see this solemn monument many years ago in Kansas and it is a must see for every American who knows someone in the military or who just is thankful for what the military does. The wall has been updated and now is joined by monuments to all the other wars and conflicts as well. There is even a 9/11 tribute section listing the names of those who died in the Twin Towers. The event runs July 23rd thru the 28th.. You have got to stop by and see this.
