Greetings and welcome!

The Silver Cliff centennial celebration was a huge success. The parade was as big as I have ever seen it and there were some really cool floats. People loved the fireworks, and the picnic was very busy. Hats off and thank you to everyone that made it such a huge success.

This morning we have quite a bit of rain. It started last night and it looks like it will continue for most of the day. That is a good thing on several levels. First of all we needed the rain. It was getting pretty dusty on gravel roads and the rivers are getting pretty low.

Then there is the smoke. There are wildfires up by the Boundary Waters area in Minnesota and up in Canada and yesterday a lot of that smoke got blown down into our area. This was the view yesterday at about noon. It otherwise would have been a sunny blue sky day. Happily the rain will help to wash the smoke away.

This weekend is the Marinette County Fair in Wausaukee. Here is a link to the happenings.

Have a good weekend and thank you for visiting!

Greetings and welcome!

I am NOT getting caught again where I planned an update and something popped up like last Friday and so many others.. This weekend is too important.

This Thursday through Saturday is the Silver Cliff Centennial Celebration. Last year was the actual centennial but the covid stuff caused it to be cancelled. This is an epic event with a lot going on, and it has been two years in the planning. A lot of people worked really hard for this and it should be a really amazing event. I also expect that the parade will be a lot bigger than in past years so don’t miss that!

Here is everything that I have at the moment.

Here is a post from Facebook from Jungle Jim’s-

Thursday the 12th we will not be opening until 4 o’clock. (Al will be doing the history tours on the bus if you want to hear him give a history lesson)

Friday the 13th we will only have the bar open from 7:00-after the fireworks. Kitchen will not be open.

With the fireworks being lit off across the road from us, Hwy C will be shut down for the duration of the show. Viewing will be up at the Fire Department, we ask that you park in the picnic ground lot. Our parking lot will also be open for parking as they will still be visible from our lot and we’ll have the bar open.

Saturday the 14th we will be closed all day and night

We will be open Sunday morning at 9 for breakfast.

We thank you all for understanding as this is a big fundraiser for our town and fire department and we can’t be in two places at once. There will be food and beer served Friday and Saturday at the picnic grounds, along with an ice cream social at the town hall on Thursday.

We invite you to come have a beer or two at the picnic grounds with us and celebrate our towns 100 years!.

Right now the weekend forecast looks fantastic with nice days and pleasant temperatures. I hope that all works out as forecast.

Come on out to Silver Cliff this weekend and be part of a really exciting weekend!

Have a good one and thank you for visiting!
