As fall starts to make its way in our lives providing us with beautiful fall colors and cooler temperatures, it’s about that time to take note of the exciting and family-friendly fall events the City of Whitewater will be holding this year.

 Many of the events are family friendly and some are more directed towards the spooky enthusiasts that are interested in the creepy parts of our beautiful town of Whitewater. Events ranging from storytelling to trick or treat, to trivia nights, and even to running events. These upcoming months Whitewater has some exciting events for all!

 For those who enjoy the outdoors or like to run or walk. The weekly walk on the Ice age trail is taking place every Wednesday of the year. Meeting from 10:15 a.m.- 1:00 p.m. All those interested in this event are to meet at the Highway 12 crossing located around 4 miles east of Whitewater on the Highway 12 and Sherwood Forest Road parking lot. While the walk itself is free, you will need a state park pass to park your car in the parking lot near the meeting location. For the walk you will split into two groups: short hike is 3 miles and long hike is 6-8 miles. For more information you can contact Andrew Whitney at 262-949-0286 or by email here.
