Video contest!!! Grab your cellphone, camera or video camera & shoot a creative, fun, funny or motivational video encouraging people to sign up for the Run for the Trails Run/Walk on Sept. 28 & you could win!!!

The Run for the Trails is a 10k, 5k or 1 mile fun run on Sept. 28th in Oconto Falls. The run is a fundraiser to help establish a fund to create, maintain and improve a trail system in the Oconto Falls area. Some areas we are looking at starting work on is around the schools, like along County I and along Columbia St. by the new football fields. If you have been on some recreational trails before like the Fox River Trail, you can imagine the possibilities, nice wide paved trails that connect to already established sidewalk systems. We would hope to add embellishments such as sidewalks, landscape areas, possibly even fitness stations and signs. Our committee also hopes to work with the City and State on getting sidewalks in where it makes sense to have them as well, further connecting the trail system.

What we want from you is a video encouraging people to sign up for this AWESOME RUN/WALK EVENT! You can highlight the purpose of the event as a fundraiser for the Trail fund, you can go at it from a fitness angle, like how awesome it is to run/walk & be fit, or how much FUN the event will be, whatever you think… be creative, funny, etc. The website to register for the run if you can incorporate that any way possible, as well as so that you can go to the site for more info is: https://runforthetrails.eventbrite.com

Videos should be 30 seconds or less and have appropriate content. All videos may be shared via email, websites, Facebook, Twitter and various other social media. All submissions must be received to annsennhome@yahoo.com no later than midnight August 25th. The winner will be chosen August 26th, and that winner will receive a free entry into the event as well as an event tech shirt, and lots of publicity for their video 🙂

Good luck & have fun making the video!

AWESOME day at the golf course for our 2014 chamber outing! Thanks to all those who contributed and participated.

The audition for the Missoula Children’s Theatre production of RAPUNZEL will be held on Monday, August 4 at 9:00 a.m. in the Falls Area Performing Arts Center, located at Oconto Falls High School. There are roles for those students entering 1st grade through grade 12. Approximately 50-60 local students will be cast to appear in the show with the MCT Tour Actor/Director. There is no guarantee that everyone who auditions will be cast in the play. Students wishing to audition must arrive by 8:45 a.m. and stay for the entire two-hour audition session. The first rehearsal will begin approximately 15-30 minutes after the audition.

This is a group audition–no advance preparation is necessary, but a smile J never hurts. Students should just be ready to come and have a good time!

Rehearsals will be conducted every day from 9:00 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. at Oconto Falls High School in the Falls Area Performing Arts Center and the Choir room. Although not all cast members will be needed at every session, those auditioning must have a clear schedule for the entire week and if selected, be able to attend all rehearsals required for their role. A detailed rehearsal schedule will be distributed at the conclusion of the audition. Cast members scheduled for the full 4½ hours of rehearsal will be asked to bring a sack lunch and snack.

The performances will be held on Saturday, August 9 at 3:00 p.m. and 7:00 p.m. and will be presented at the Falls Area Performing Arts Center, located in Oconto Falls High School. The students in the cast will be called for dress rehearsal before the performance that day. All those cast must be available for all scheduled performances.

The Missoula Children’s Theatre is a non-profit organization based in Missoula, Montana. This coming year more than 65,000 cast members across the globe will take to the stage to the delight and applause of their families, friends, community, neighbors and teachers! The residency in Oconto Falls is made possible by The Oconto Falls Friends of the Arts with help from the following sponsors: ST PAPER, CENTURYLINK, COMMUNITY MEMORIAL HOSPITAL, and NEVA HODGE-LEMORANDE.
