Brookfield • Muskego • New Berlin Summer 2016 RegencySeniorCommunities.com HOP ON & ENJOY THE RIDE Young at Heart Harley Ride Join us for the 11th annual Senior Harley Ride at Regency New Berlin. The event pairs Regency residents with Kettle Moraine Chapter 5603 members of the Harley Owners Group (HOG) for free motorcycle rides. The Kettle Moraine Chapter, chartered in 1988, is sponsored by Hal’s Harley-Davidson of New Berlin. The Young at Heart Senior Ride is one of the chapter’s “heartwarming” ways to give back to the community. Regency residents can ride in sidecars or on the back of members’ Harleys. July 9 • 9:00 – 10:30 a.m. New Berlin Campus OPEN TO THE PUBLIC FOR VIEWING ONLY THE AMERICAN CIRCUS Storyteller and history buff Sharon Coyle will present the grandeur and history of the modern American circus, first introduced to Philadelphia in 1793. Join Coyle as she reveals fascinating facts about Wisconsin’s own Circus World Museum— located in Baraboo, where the Ringling Brothers Circus began its first tour as a circus in 1884—and Milwaukee’s Great Circus Parade, held from 1963 to 2009. Drawing hundreds of thousands of attendees, the parade was a recreation of 19th century circus parades. To publicize the arrival of the circus in those days, promoters led parades of horses, clowns, elephants, decorated bandwagons, and steam calliopes through the main streets to give “towners” a preview. DID YOU KNOW? Words and expressions that originated in the circus and are still used today include: jump on the bandwagon, get this show on the road, dog and pony show, and three-ring circus.

Horicon Marsh and Green Lake • August 22 • 8:00 a.m. Residents travel to Horicon Marsh, the largest freshwater cattail marsh in the country which is recognized internationally as an important bird and wildlife area. We’ll explore the unique waterways and then stop at the Explorium to learn more about the history and ecology of the marsh thousands of years before European settlement to see how the current wetland came to be. View, touch, listen to, and smell exhibits that document the changes to the marsh over time—just a few of the many educational opportunities at the Explorium. Residents then travel to the Heidel House Resort & Spa, with historic roots back to the late 1800s. After lunch, we’ll board a catamaran-style yacht, for an hourlong tour of Green Lake while captains entertain with stories of the lake and summer homes.

This Statewide Community Outreach and Engagement Initiative will expand our collection, preservation and sharing of stories by bringing our collections, services and programming to your community. While not a new concept for us, as we already make vast amounts of our collections and public services available online, it does represent a new proactive means of telling Wisconsin’s stories in communities throughout the state. The heart of this new initiative is a traveling exhibit called the Wisconsin History Tour: Sharing Wisconsin’s Stories One Community at a Time. We are forging partnerships with 11 communities that will host the exhibit for monthlong stays. And, during five days of the exhibit’s run at each location, the Society will provide free educational programming, demonstrations, author appearances, workshops and other interactive means of sharing our stories.
