The fish options on the night we arrived (each Friday might have slightly different specials) included Fried Jumbo Perch, Baked or Fried Cod, and Salmon with Roasted Pecan Butter. Our group was small that night - just three - and two of us ate the perch (yes, it was truly "jumbo!"), while the third reviewer ordered the salmon.

The perch was delicious - flaky and tender - but it was the salmon and accompanying roasted pecan butter that stole the show. The reviewer who ordered this dish declared it to be the "...best salmon I've ever eaten!" as well as "My favorite dinner of our fish fries to date!"

Now THAT'S a resounding recommendation!

The Edgewater Supper Club prepares meals with local ingredients, and many local talents - such as BonTon Bakery and Morsels by Marly - contribute to the menu. Although the Edgewater did not have any pies from Morsels by Marly that evening, we will be back to get our selection soon!

The Edgewater Supper Club reopened in 2013, thanks to Bill and Vicki Millis from Under the Oaks farm in Milton. The restaurant is located on the Rock River between Fort Atkinson and Jefferson on Highway K.

Until we meet again,

 July 14, 2014 - Fort Atkinson Community Band Concert 

Join us for an outdoor band concert at 7:30pm with an ice cream social at 6:30pm (it also continues through the concert).

Our goal is to provide playing opportunities for amateur band musicians after they have played in high school, college, and/or the service. We also provide quality entertainment to the community, through both indoor and outdoor concerts.

This musical adventure is a family classic that tells the story of Dorthy Gale, a young girl unhappy with life on her aunt and uncle's Kansas farm. Dorothy yearns to travel "over the rainbow" to a different world, and she gets her wish when a tornado whisks her and her little dog, Toto, to the land of Oz. Having offended the Wicked Witch of the West, Dorothy is protected from the old crone's wrath by the ruby slippers that she wears. At the suggestion of Glinda, the Good Witch of the North, Dorothy heads down the Yellow Brick Road to the Emerald City, where dwells the all-powerful Wizard of Oz, who might be able to help the girl return to Kansas. Along the way, she befriends a Scarecrow, a Tin Man, and a Cowardly Lion. They all join Dorothy on her odyssey to the Emerald City.

Join us for a FREE movie in the Park!

Marvel Studios Iron Man 3 pits brash-but-brilliant industrialist Tony Stark/Iron Man against an enemy whose reach knows no bounds. When Stark finds his personal world destroyed at his enemy's hands, he embarks on a harrowing quest to find those responsible. This journey, at every turn, will test his mettle. With his back against the wall, Stark is left to survive by his own devices, relying on his ingenuity and instincts to protect those closest to him. As he fights his way back, Stark discovers the answer to the question that has secretly haunted him: does the man make the suit or does the suit make the man?
