The Community of Fond du Lac comes together next week, to host what has quickly become a region-wide midwinter classic. The third Annual Sturgeon Spectacular will be held February 9-11. Craig Molitor with the Fond du Lac Area Convention and Visitors Bureau says this winter celebration features events inside, outside, on and off the ice and is rooted in the often quirky traditions of Sturgeon Spearing, unique to this region. Crowds will enjoy Ice Kiting events on the frozen surface of Lake Winnebago as well as several events at Lakeside Park and Fond du Lac’s downtown district. Highlights include a kick-off parade starting with The Running of the Sturgeon, live musical performances, ice carving and snow sculptures, comedy shows, and the hilarious “Guys on Ice” Broadway-style musical.
