With spring also comes baseball season. In my household we are busy signing up the boys, sizing for new cleats, and practicing in the front yard. Then, this past week was “Opening Day” and we cheered on our favorite team. So with this in mind, I thought why not let a lucky baseball fan win 10% off their next reservation with us here at the Wild Eagle Lodge. The first person to post the correct answer as a comment to this blog entry will win. Today’s question is:
Who was the first United States President to throw out the first ceremonial pitch on opening day?
Congratulations Jim DePlant for getting the correct answer!
On the first day of the 1910 season President William Howard Taft became the first president to throw the ceremonial first pitch of a new major league baseball season.

Since another holiday is upon us here at Wild Eagle Lodge I thought I would offer everyone a great deal for today. If you call us and make a confirmed reservation today before 9 pm we will take $10 off per night or $70 off for the week*. Just mention promo code EST1036 when you make your reservation. We are starting to get some much needed rain here at Wild Eagle Lodge so the grass should be green in no time. We held an Easter egg hunt for the kids at the resort yesterday and everyone involved had a blast. I’m already looking for better hiding spots for next year. I hope everyone has a safe and happy Easter!

Now that warm weather is on the way, the Group Sales Department is busy setting up lodging, meeting space, tee times, fishing guides, and cook-outs for our business retreat guests. I assist the company or non-profit organizers with the details that make a retreat at Wild Eagle Lodge special. Whether the group needs specific audio/ visual equipment for their meeting or they would like a recommendation on the best time to take our dinner ferry to catch the sunset over Duck Lake, I am happy to help! I enjoy taking care of these details, and it allows the organizers to focus on meeting content and travel logistics, knowing that I have their needs here at the resort taken care of. If you’re involved with a company or non-profit that is considering a retreat, give me a call today to find out how I can assist you!
Happy Easter!

The weather is getting warmer every day. Here, on the resort the snow fence is down and the grounds are getting their manicure. It won’t be long before the sprinklers get turned on and the grass is green for the summer. The lakes are almost all open water now and we are looking forward to getting the boats in. With the forecast in the 70’s it’s going to be a great holiday weekend. What is your families’ favorite Easter tradition? Or will you start a new one this year?

Many of our guests this weekend are participating in the 13th Annual Ice Masters Classic 3-on-3 hockey tournament in Eagle River. This year the tournament includes 64 teams, competing at the Mite, Squirt, PeeWee, Bantam and Girls U16 levels. It is always the last weekend in March and is a fun way to end the hockey season. If you have a young hockey star, plan on participating in this tournament next year. Also, check out the Eagle River Summer Hockey School. This program is ranked with the best in the country. If you are from out of town, enjoy a family vacation at the Wild Eagle Lodge while your child attends classes during the day.

Although it is the first day of spring it did not feel like it this morning! I guess I was a little spoiled by all the nice 50+ degree weather we have been having here in the Northwoods. The day has warmed up nicely and there is a blue sky with only a few white clouds in it. The weather this past week has been great; I took my bicycle out of storage and had it tuned up for the season. I even got in the first ride of the season on Thursday; I stuck mostly to the road as the trails in the woods still need a few days to dry out. Since it is the first day of spring why don’t you let me know what your favorite Northwoods spring activity is?

It is the best time of the year for college basketball fans, with everyone picking their teams and filling out their brackets. Last year was not a good year for me; all of my final four teams were knocked out by the second round. Maybe it’s a sign I should stick to football and that basketball is just not the sport for me. But, I do want to wish all you die-hards out their good luck with your brackets! Let me know who you think is going to win the NCAA tournament this year.
Since we are on the subject of tournaments, there is a great youth 3 on 3 hockey tournament here in Eagle River next weekend. The Ice Masters 3 on 3 tournament is the longest running 3 on 3 tournament of its kind anywhere. The Eagle River Recreation Association is hoping for 70 to 75 teams this year playing in the fast-paced ½ court tournament. If you would like more information or to register a team for the event, visit the Eagle River Recreation Association web page. Even if you are not playing this is a great event to come out and watch. Another great event coming up this weekend is the Silver Blades Ice Show, an annual show put on by our local figure skating club. I’ll give you a full preview of the Silver Blades Ice Show tomorrow. See you then!
