The Lake Mills Main Street Program and the Arts Alliance of Greater Lake Mills have made some changes to their very successful annual fundraiser. Previously call “The Painted Ladies,” the two groups have decided to change the name to “Paint the Town”.

The event is open to everyone.

I discovered Lake Mills shortly after being relocated from San Antonio, TX to Madison, WI. It was a cold winter day and my husband and I decided to take a drive. We ended up in Lake Mills where I immediately feel in love with the charm of the community. There were families ice skating in commons park, we discovered Lake Shore Drive where kids were playing ice hockey on the lake and beautiful victorian homes lined the shoreline. I looked at my husband and said “someday I am going to live here”. He chuckled. Well about a year later we closed on a beautiful victorian home on Main Street. We immediately got involved in the community and have loved the community and all it has to offer.

What we enjoy most about Lake Mills is the people that live here. The community has a lot to offer for all ages. When we go to events (sports, fundraisers, local stores, parks) we see friends we haven’t see for a while, and it is so exciting to visit. My favorite memory will always be, our family nightly walks along the lake after dinner.

Where else but small town America could you have a pie contest? Not a “who can eat the most pie” contest – but the kind of contest that lets the youngest baker and the most most experienced adult show their talents on a warm summer evening before a crowd of supportive and hungry onlookers? Berry pies and custard pies and pot pies – they were all there. Several tables groaning with the weight of lucious baked pies. After the judges (they had the best job in the world that evening!) were done with tiny taste samples of each pie, cagetory winners were announced, as were the grand prizes. Ribbons were bestowed – and then the best part for most of the attendees – bidding on those awesome pies began! Heated bidding by proud parents and hungry townspeople and cherry-obsessed pie lovers.
Where else but a small town indeed???
Gino Salamone, a Milwaukee DJ, was in attendance that night in the summer of 2008. Although he grew up and still resides in Milwaukee, he loves Lake Mills and tries to attend our events here when possible. He left that night with about a half-dozen pies. His radio co-workers happily ate pie on air the next day.
Can’t wait for the second annual pie contest this summer!!
