LIVING HERE
Hovercraft rides started in Lake Geneva this past weekend.
Located on Wrigley Drive right across the street from Harbor Shores and Gino’s East, right where the Lake Geneva Municipal Pier usually juts out when in season. The hover craft rides adventure is about two to three miles with plenty of 360-degree spins, and sidewinder fun. This all-in-one adventurous machine is fun powerful machine an adventure for all four seasons. Hover crafts can travel over multiple terrains and are used for rescue, commercial, and recreational settings. Because hovercrafts can travel in both open water and icy snowy terrain safety isn’t a worry. If you are worried about freezing, you can choose the fully enclosed heated hovercraft machine or the open-air model. Rides are available Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. and they will continue until the ice on the lake melts. Of course, with Winterfest this weekend rides will book fast. Tickets can be purchased online at www.hovercraftrides.com and prices range from $42 to $50 with multiple seat options.
The ice castle in Geneva National is rising back up after the unusually warm weather experienced this season.
The higher temperatures melted the initial ice making attempts, but fast progress has recently been made by crews for the beginning growing of ice and assembly. The castle was supposed to be open this last weekend but with the rise and fall of the castle the newly anticipated opening date is the first weekend in February. The castles use anywhere between seven to thirteen million gallons of water to make ice and the race is on to complete the structure in a week. If completed by this coming Saturday, the castle will be the fastest assembly in the company’s history of successfully building an ice castle ready for the public to explore. The ice castle is scheduled to stay open through February or for as long as the weather allows.
King of Kings, the landscaping (snowplowing in the winter, like now) company.
These people are terrific, and it’s a rare pleasure to have them as advertisers in the Geneva Shore Report, although that has nothing to do with why they are the subject of this article. It just snowed over a foot, in fact the height overnight the snow reached on the south side of Geneva Lake last Saturday night was over eighteen inches with drifts considerably deeper. There was no ‘shoveling out’ for people with any length of driveway at all, but the King of Kings outfit was there and is there if you reach out to them. Sergio is the key mover in the organization. They showed up at this article’s writer’s home (recently hired for that purpose) and half an hour later a very lengthy driveway was not only plowed, along with the walkways, but it was plowed neatly with little in the way of any snow left on the surfaces. Wow! What a relief and what a feat. The next morning the writer went out to view the work once more in the light. The plowing of the local connecting street wasn’t even close in effectiveness and detail as Sergio’s work with his K of K crew. 1 262 880 1184. You won’t be disappointed in either this outfit’s work or its uncommonly low prices be so low.
