Whether you drive, ferry, or fly to Washington Island this weekend, there will certainly be plenty of activities for you.
One of those activities is the Washington Island Lions Club Fly-In Fish Boil at the Washington Island Airport. From 11 a.m. to 1 p.m., cars and airplanes alike stop by for a traditional fish boil lunch and some conversation to support the work of the Washington Island Lions Club. While being on a short flight from the EAA Airventure grounds in Oshkosh certainly helps, Lions Club member Joel Gunnlaugsson says community support is how the event has lasted for over 70 years.
The Washington Island Rec Run on Saturday and an Islanders baseball game on Sunday only add to how busy the area has been since the calendar turned to July. From a motel owner and ferry captain perspective, Gunnlaugsson says island traffic has rebounded from a slower and much wetter June.
