Jeanine Fassl writes, “14 Cast, Crew and Friends of the Fireside’s “Grumpy Old Men, the Musical” production took to the Bark River in seven canoes to enjoy a wonderful 6.5-mile, paddle/float from Burnt Village to the Municipal boat ramp in downtown Fort Atkinson on Tuesday, May 9th. The float was blessed with lots of wildlife not often seen by these actors. It included sandhill cranes, turtles, ducks, geese, birds of all kinds and even a pair of bald eagles as well as a large juvenile eagle. A special addition to the flotilla was a beautiful new canoe actually made in Wabasha, MN. If you don’t understand that reference, you need to see the production of “Grumpy Old Men, the Musical.” Although it’s selling out fast, some tickets are still available through May 28th.
