Euchre Palooza This Weekend in New Glarus
Get ready, because on Saturday the New Glarus Fest Haus will transform into the ultimate hub of entertainment and generosity as it hosts "Euchre Palooza." Starting at 7 PM, this evening is part of the World Euchre Championship festivities and offers live music, refreshing beverages, tantalizing food, and an atmosphere of community spirit—all in support of a great cause.
Frank Busch and The Names are headlining the event, which is sponsored by Bicycle Cards, New Glarus Brewing Company, Jack Link's, Decatur Dairy, and New Glarus Fest Haus. They have a dynamic sound that has been labeled “Americana,” but mostly consists of simple country tunes about things like growing up, love, cars, an affinity for camping and dive bars.The band, The Names, includes Christian West on bass, Rin Q Ribble on the fiddle, and Argentina’s favorite son Pablo Chuliver on drums. They help to put on a great country and rock show, complete with full harmonies, screaming solos and stories of their adventures on the midwest backroads.
Proceeds from the evening will contribute to the construction of an inclusive playground at Candy Cane Park, enriching the lives of children in the community. Dorene Disch, representing New Glarus Cares, expressed her hope for widespread support: "We hope everyone comes out to support such a great cause and kick off the summer festival season in style with some music and a cold beer at New Glarus Fest Haus."
While there is no cover charge, attendees are encouraged to either purchase a raffle ticket or make a small donation. “But it is by no means required,” Disch said. “Every contribution, no matter the size, counts towards the goal of building a new playground. "Even a dollar is much appreciated," Disch emphasized.
The evening's festivities will include a raffle drawing, with one lucky winner walking away with $2500. Alphorn music during intermission and door prizes will also add to the excitement, creating a night to remember. With food vendors offering their treats and a cash bar serving up drinks, Euchre Palooza promises a lively and fulfilling experience for all.
