The resort is alive with color

It has been a beautiful fall week in the Northwoods. We took our last pontoon boat ride of the season last night. The guest who joined us were treated to perfect fall weather along with brilliant colors of red, gold and orange!

Wedding bells are ringing!

We spent the summer creating a new wedding ceremony site. In 2015 we will begin marketing for fall weddings at the resort. And what a better way to give it a test run than having our son, Brian, and his beautiful bride, Missy, get married at the resort. Brian and Missy met on a blind date at White Birch Village in March of 2013. They came full circle by getting married where they met. It was a beautiful fall day, the 80% chance of thunderstorms never materialized. We set up a large tent on the grassy area behind the barn and had a wonderful meal that the groom prepared. Our staff did a tremendous job working the reception. Wonderful memories were made! It was a perfect Northwoods wedding! Enjoy the pictures.

With the 6 inches of rain we got the week before the wedding the flowage filled up with water to create a beautiful backdrop for the ceremony.

We ran power to the pergola so both music and a microphone can be used.

What would a White Birch Village wedding be without a white birch cross.

The wind was blowing as Brian walked us down the aisle.

Jackson and Siiri

Missy’s niece and nephew were also part of the wedding party. If you don’t catch by the time you are done looking at pictures fishing was the theme throughout the wedding, which included Jackson carrying a tackle box. For the unity part of the ceremony Brain and Missy tied two cords together using a fishing knot. The fishing knot is a very simple knot that is very strong.

tent 3

The start of the nature trail was a perfect site for the tent. all the kids in attendance had fun running up the hill into the woods and sliding down. Kept them busy for hours.

tent2

Sam’s Rental in Woodruff was wonderful to work with for the reception tent.

Instead of a guest book all who attended signed two canoe paddles that Brian and Missy will hang on their wall.

snacks

Making use of the cotton candy and popcorn machine; the kids enjoyed the popcorn and cotton candy that was served

The kids couldn’t wait for dessert to have cotton candy and had it for appetizers instead. Then had it again for dessert!

cotton candy2

Adrian made over 70 cotton candies. He probably dreamt of them that night.

grilling

The groomsmen cooked the brats, hamburgers and chicken.

canoe

The beverage station. The wine was a wedding gift from one of Missy’s friends. Many different flavors to choose from including tri-berry and cool mint.

pies

Brian and Missy are pie eaters over cake so Brian helped make 16 apple pies to be served along with the wedding cake. He had to use the ovens in Red Oaks, Musky, Balsam Fir and the lodge to get them all baked. Our polish staff got a kick out of the sign because “pie” in polish means dog.

Out with old in with the new

Getting ready for fall leaf pick-up meant some changes had to take place here at the resort.

IMG_0872

This ford pick-up truck gave a lot of great years of service to the resort, but it was time to say good-bye. It no longer went into park, wasn’t charging the battery and the doors won’t open.

IMG_0915

Hello new dump truck. We upgraded to a 1 ton truck with a built in dump. We are ready for any heavy work the resort has for us, including the 200 dump truck full of leaves that will begin next week.
