SHEBOYGAN – 800 pounds of trout were stocked at the Sheboygan Falls Lagoon during Sheboygan County Conservation Association’s 27th annual Outdoor Activity & Free Fishing Day on June 1.
In addition to the fish, the association provided rods, reels, bait, and even cleaned and cooked your catch if you wished.
“As conservationists, this is exactly what we live for – having the opportunity and being able to see the community come out and experience so many fun things that the outdoors provide for us,” the association said in a news release.
“This year’s SCCA Outdoor Activity Day 2024 gave us the perfect setting to see community members of all ages come out, catch fish, learn to shoot safely both firearms and archery, learn about the environment and most importantly spend time with our families and ones we care about,” the release added.
“Seeing the smiles on the next generations faces throughout the day is the most rewarding part and exactly why this event means so much to us all.”

Studio Players prepare for annual July 4 Musical Revue
Sheboygan Theatre Company Studio Players will present its annual Fourth of July Musical Revue at the bandshell in Fountain Park immediately following the July 4 parade.
The musical revue will feature current songs, show tunes and patriotic melodies from throughout history. It features 17 local actors and singers, and admission is free to the public.
This year’s revue is directed by Zachariah Stearn, a comedian, actor, singer, musician and all-around entertainer.
Stearn was a guest artist at New Mexico State University in May 2018 and inspired theater majors, faculty and staff with his one-man show. After that, he served as artistic director of a theater in Maine and launched another one-man show titled “The King of Keys.” For the past 12 years, he has served as the lead educator at the University of Southern Maine’s Theatre Academy. He recently moved to Sheboygan County and directed STC’s production of “Into the Woods” during its 90th season in 2024.
“This year for our Fourth of July performance, we decided to go with this idea that musical theater is embedded into American culture and we are here to celebrate that culture,” Stearn said in a news release.
“There are plenty of songs we’ll be performing that audiences will know and maybe a couple that are unknown but are equally fun,” he continued. “There’s a beautiful rendition of ‘America the Beautiful’ and a spirited retelling of Paul Revere’s Ride. It’s going to be a blast.”
