This Playhouse, Man Cave or She Shed could be yours! This fabulous 6 X 9 shed was built by students during the recent La Crosse Area Builders Association's Build My Future event. Master Craftsmen spent the day teaching, guiding and introducing skills to these young folks, giving them insight into possible careers in the trades. The shed will be displayed and auctioned off at the Friday May 5th, Holmen Area Rotary Club Service Auction Event. Proceeds from the sale of the shed will be used to start a building skills program at the Holmen Area Community Center.

Fishing with a Regular Guy
Spend the day with Bob and Lucy (the dog) in their 16 foot boat fishing on the Mississippi river. Troll the wingdings or float worms over the top. Fling baits into the weeds of the backwaters or dibble the snags for panfish. Noodle for catfish if you so desire. Fishing on the Mississippi is never boring. You can catch a dozen fish in a day and they could all be different species. Or just hang out and enjoy the sights, sounds and smells of the river. Bob will provide the tackle if needed and pack a delicious shore lunch. If you do manage to catch something, he will even clean your fish for you at the end of the day. There is room to comfortably include two people on this adventure. This could be done during the week or weekend on any mutually agreed upon date. Figure up to 6 hours of fishing fun. - Bob Buck

Genealogy Research on your Family Tree
This is your opportunity to learn more about your family’s history and discover your roots. It all starts with records from 1940 to search for your parents, grandparents and great-grandparents. Then using the power of Ancestry.com digitized census records, we take that information and go back every 10 years to discover information from their lives and build out your personal family tree. Along the way, often times other information such as marriage records, burial location, military service and immigration records are located. Sometimes other extended family members will have shared provided family photos or stories to the Ancestry database. You will receive a genealogical report along with copies of each census record and a personalized family tree. Standard Package 3 hours of research but if the price is right… the Deluxe package is for 8 hours. –Kelly Dunn
