The Kenosha Community Sailing Center will host a series of outreach events at the Kenosha Yacht Club Saturday and Sunday aimed at bringing the community to the water.
The organizers call their family festival weekend “Ship Ahoi” and hope that it will become an annual event.
It starts with a make-a-gift handicraft extravaganza. Just in time for Father’s Day, the children have the opportunity to make gifts on Saturday. They can decorate birdhouses, paint rocks, have their picture taken and decorate the frames, stamp cards, and draw and fill their own packets of wildflower seeds – ready for dads or anyone they love.
The cost is USD 12 per child and includes a children’s sailboat ride across the harbor (must be accompanied by an adult). It takes place from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.
Dock party set
Then, when the sun goes down, the adult dock party begins. The Dock Party, sponsored by Lakeshore Pedal Tours and Z Auto Sales, will feature live music from Revival-Not Your Uncle’s Cover Band and drink specials with the club’s new “Docktail” menu. There’s a dance floor, lots of good food, and the cool breeze that blows from the harbor at night.
Revival, which was born in Kenosha in 2016, is played from 7pm to 10pm. There is no entry fee, but donations are appreciated and cool items are auctioned and a raffle with prizes is offered. Lakeshore Pedal Tours, which is running the 13-person pedal bike that will hit the streets of Kenosha this summer, has already donated a pedal tour and many other companies have donated prizes.
