A large gathering of people is expected in northern Crawford County this weekend as Schleswig kicks off its 125-year celebration. Events start on Friday at 12:00 p.m. with an ice cream social and continue through Sunday at 10 a.m. with the free-will offering pancake breakfast by Chris Cakes. Shannon Cose, co-chair for the 125th celebration planning committee, says much work has been put into organizing the weekend-long festivities and keeping it centralized around Schleswig’s heritage theme.
Cose says the Schleswig community prides itself on offering the best deal on carnival rides.
The carnival rides are just one budget-friendly event that will take place this weekend.
Of course, Cose says, none of this would be possible without the sponsors and volunteers.
Again, the 125th Celebration of Schleswig kicks off Friday starting at 12 p.m. and goes through Sunday. A complete schedule of events has been included below.
