💛🍋 Hunting Moon Pow Wow 2025 — WHAT AN AMAZING WEEKEND! 🍋💛

We had an incredible time at the Hunting Moon Powwow in Milwaukee! The committee and staff were absolutely wonderful to work with — so much professionalism, kindness, and good energy all weekend long. We can’t wait to come back and celebrate with everyone again next year!

It was so great seeing all of our regulars and new customers — your smiles, compliments, and good words never go unnoticed. Every single “this is the best lemonade I’ve ever had!” means the world to us. 💪🍋

A special shout out to my amazing sister Ann Louise, who came through big time and stepped up to help us serve those handcrafted lemonades all weekend! Along with my wife Turquoise, we had a 3-person crew — it was non-stop from start to finish, but we soldiered through for all of you. 💛

It was also awesome seeing our friends and family throughout the weekend — and a big congratulations to our Waswaagoning young men who sang their hearts out in the youth contest! North Shore took 2nd place!!! The excitement when that 5-man crew came through for their BigRu’s on the house was everything. So proud of you guys — keep that fire going! 🔥

Thank you again to everyone who stopped by the stand, shared kind words, and showed love. From our family to yours — Miigwech for another unforgettable weekend.
