Sorry..no passes or discount tickets accepted!The theater is new, only a few months old and very nice.
Also in the same mini-mall is Cancun restaurant, excellent mexican food, good prices.
There is a very good Chinese restaurant there, too, but I don’t remember the name.

The Chinese restaurant is named Thien-Thanh, or sometimes commonly knows as Thin-Thighs.

I like MacDonald Memories – GCEE29. It’s a multi with only one log, but a great way to see the park.
I’ve been too busy lately to find caches, but danno77 has been putting out a bunch in the area. I enjoyed my winter attempt at Irvine Climb – GCMTJW and from the logs it sounds like Jesus’ Tomb – GCNK8F is a great cache. Danno77 is a new geocacher that grew up in Chippewa Falls so he is doing a great job of highlighting some of the scenic areas.
I don’t have personal experience with Slowpoke – GCNDQA, but I do like zuma4now’s caches.
I don’t know how many other Stock Car Racing Fans there are here, but
Friday night racing is at Menomonee, http://www.redcedarracing.com/
Saturday night racing is at Rice Lake and New Richmond (both about 45 min from Wissota) http://www.cedarlakespeedway.com/
and Sunday night is at Eagle Valley Speedway, which is within earshot of the campground. http://racingonline.com/evs/
Each of these nearby tracks offer great multi-class racing on clay ovals.
