Following a one-year hiatus, the Mooseyard Winterfest Bar Olympics return Saturday.
Seven bars and restaurants along Lake Drive will offer a variety of activities to soothe the winter blues, said Tony Powers, manager of the Shawano Lake Golf Course, one of the participating businesses.
“It is just a time to for everyone to come out during the winter time and enjoy themselves,” Powers said.
Registration of two-person teams begins at 11 a.m. at the Cotton Patch Supper Club; the cost is $20. The top two finishers will receive a 100 percent pay out, after the last place team receives its money back.
“They can take that $20 and spend it on a round of drinks somewhere,” Powers said.
Activities will include a hockey game at the Coachlight Bar and Grill, a clown game at Sigrids Bavarian Trail, darts, pool and bowling at other locations, including The Blind Squirrel.
This will be first Winterfest for Symbas owner Tim Sprague, who took over the business in October 2014.
“It is all new to me,” he said. “I am excited for it, to see the turnout. From what I heard, it is a great time.”
Sprague plans to have a game of blind darts, where the numbers on the dart board are covered. If the turnout is bigger than expected, his Plan B is poker pool.
“You will be dealt a card, and shoot based on what cards you are handed,” Sprague said.
Awards will be presented at 6 p.m. at The Coachlight, where a disc jockey will provide the music.
Classic’s Restaurant and Lounge will have a live band — Mike Murphy and the MOB.
“All the different businesses will have specials and discounts throughout the day,” Powers said.
Additionally, Shawano Lake County Park and Shawano Lake Golf Club will be open.
The event was cancelled last year due to a scheduling conflict with the Figure-8 Fishing Derby.
“Everyone decided to go to the fishing derby instead,” Powers said.
