Deer Hunting Widows It’s that time of year again. The weather is getting colder, the days shorter and soon it will be time for all those hunters to head to the woods leaving the women behind to miss the fun. Yeah right! Deer hunting weekends are one of the best times of the year for a girls’ day (or two or three) on the town, and Packer Country has plenty of ways for any deer hunting “widow” to live it up.

Start the fun off with a shopping adventure through Packer Country’s lineup of spectacular shops, galleries and malls. Take to the quaint main street shops of Two Rivers. Explore the unique shops and Italian café of Netto Palazzo in Algoma or search for that perfect gift at Geppetto’s Top of the Hill Shop in Kewaunee. And nothing tops off a day of shopping fun quite like a stop at the von Stiehl Winery (1-800-955-5208) for a bit of wine tasting.

Weidner Center for the Performing ArtsAs the sun sets, the nightlife in Packer Country begins. Located on the campus of the University of Wisconsin-Green Bay, the Weidner Center for the Performing Arts (1-800-922-9272) hosts a variety of Broadway performances, music and arts events. Legendary star Tony Curtis takes to the stage, November 19-24, for the musical adaptation of the classic film “Some Like It Hot,” and the enchanting beauty of Rogers and Hammerstein’s “Cinderella” will thrill audiences, November 29-30.

For theater of a different type, gather the girls and head to Frank’s Dinner Theatre (920/330-9901) at the SC Grand Banquet and Convention Center. Enjoy the tastes of great food and then take a look inside the thoughts of men as the American Players Theater performs “Guys on Ice,” the touching musical comedy of two ice fishermen, November 19-23.

Looking for a little more excitement to help forget about the guys? Then head over to the flashing lights and winning sounds of Oneida Casino & Bingo (1-800-238-4263). Take a seat at the high stakes bingo tables, try your luck on the slots and video poker games or show of the skills at the blackjack tables. After that, tickle your funny bone with a stop at Green Bay Comedy City (920/432-9374) for some of the best stand-up comedy in the state.
