    Participating neighbors of the marsh will have maps available at designated spots as well as have refreshments available along the route.  The map is a suggested route for a self-guided tour around and into the famous Horicon Marsh as well as into the neighboring communities.  Participants can start at one of these designated community stands and then proceed on their tour.  Each starting/rest stop will have parking, refreshments, maps, information cards and restrooms available.

    The starting/rest points for the “Tour De Marsh” event are as follows:  

    *Horicon National Wildlife north parking lot off of Rt. 49

     We would like to thank Santa Claus, his kind wife and elfs for coming to visit Horicon this past December.  Looks like Mrs. Santa’s horse Queenie is laughing at something Danny said, don’t you think?  Everyone felt right at home with Santa Dude and we are looking forward to next year.

    Santa’s secretary has him booked to come December 8, 2012…but will he ride his horse Danny?

    You’ll just have to wait and see……

     

    But however he comes, I hope next year he brings enough cash to make it through the day:
