Senior Trips
Fitzgeralds- Great Dining
This annual trip is very popular! The atmosphere in this yellow octagon shaped home is quaint and the meat and fish are all cooked outdoors. It is such a delicious all-you-can-eat meal (except desserts). It consists of BBQ pork ribs, chicken, and fish which is boiled outside like in Door County, WI. We’ll enjoy homemade coleslaw, onions, new red potatoes, dark Swedish rye bread, and an apple slice for dessert. The fish tastes almost like lobster and melts in your mouth. The trip takes about 30 minutes and is casual dress.

German Mardi Gras
The great Fasching Fest Hall is where you’ll enter and is reminiscent of the great bier halls of Germany. There will be a selection of beer, wine, or soda. The feast is pork chops, goulash, German potato salad, mashed potatoes, sweet sour red cabbage, mixed veggies, black forest chocolate cake and beverage. Performance starts with the tapping of the keg. Then, sit back and enjoy over two hours of great music and songs performed by some of the best musicians in Wisconsin in the style of the traditional European Village Bank. Plenty of audience participation!

They have gotten rave reviews and our Senior Trip Coordinator highly recommends this one!
