Who wouldn’t want to be greeted at the door to an event by a lady wearing a buffalo hat? Shouts fun all the way!
Colorado State Party Update
Lynne Pendlebury and Linda Shamburg
As of this writing, we are now 140 people strong and growing every day. Please keep beating the bushes for any other peeps with Colorado connections—the more the merrier. We hope all of you will join us on Sunday, Feb. 22, 2026. Tickets will go on sale sometime in late December or very early January. We will keep all of you on our email list posted as to when they are available. We will have volunteer ticket sellers who will be ready to assist with your advance purchases. There will be no ticket sales at the door. This will be the event you don’t want to miss in 2026, so get your tickets early!
Event Itinerary: Buffet dinner, John Denver Sing-along, Colorado Trivia, Comedy, 50/50 raffle, door prizes
We look forward to seeing all your smiling faces and making many new Colorado friends. In the meantime, rockybrookehi@gmail.com keeps on growing.

Grab Your Tickets for the 2026 Wisconsin Party
Barbara Barr Bengen
Tickets will be sold from Jan. 2 through Feb. 3 unless they run out! The last few years have been a sell-out! So don’t wait until Groundhog Day to snag your tickets! The party is earlier this year, on Tuesday, Feb. 17!
Tickets include the buffet dinner and entertainment for $40 per person. Be sure to snag your ticket quickly, as space is limited. Just reach out to one of our Wisconsin Party ticket representatives:
• Cindy Witt, 608-334-1785
• Carolyn Bewalda, 414-254-4369
• Julie Klakarski, 920-562-7642
Just when you thought a party couldn’t get any better, this year’s party promises to be better than ever! The Wisconsin Friends Committee is working hard to make sure the Wisconsin Party will be even bigger and the best ever. The Wisconsin Friends always welcome new friends to our committee. If you love to help with parties, we have a place for you. Reach us at saddlebrookewisconsinparty@gmail.com.
One of the highlights of the Wisconsin Party is the cash raffle. Remember to bring cash to the party! Ticket sellers will only be selling tickets for the cash raffle in the early part of the evening. This gives the ticket sellers more time to prepare the cash prizes! So, snag your tickets as quickly as you can. When the time is up, it’s time to stop selling raffle tickets. There are lots of winners, and you’ll want to be one of them!
Another highlight each year is the Wisconsin door prizes. There are always lots of Wisconsin memorabilia and surprises. I can’t wait to see the door prizes for this year!
Don’t miss the 2025 Wisconsin Party! It’s gonna be the best ever! You betcha!
