As an added feature we also have a “Designated Navigator / Driver” program with free non-alcoholic beer. Plus a free boat shuttle service for boats that anchor out in the river.

The Tri-County Powerboat Alliance is a nonprofit organization dedicated to ensuring the waterways from New London to Lake Winnebago remain available for fair and equitable use by all recreational users. Emphasizing courtesy and safe fun for all, the TCPA works to build consensus with all the various users and philosophies of this beautiful water system.

This year on June 7th, the members held their annual river clean up, removing steel drums, various buckets, metal and garbage hazards from the Wolf River and it’s shores. With these fundraising efforts, they are able to hire barges to remove partially or fully submerged large trees, logs and deadheads from the main river channel, that are a danger to boaters.

The 100 plus member Alliance regularly conducts safe boater education classes, provides signs and other navigational aids, sponsors informational meetings, provides funds for dredging, shoreline riprap projects, building fish/wildlife protection zones and work with state/local government officials to protect the waterway and it’s natural resources. The funds raised from this event help with all these accomplishments.

Tri-County Powerboat Alliance Wine & Beer Tasting Fundraiser Feb 9 2008

News for immediate release January 14, 2008

Tri-County Powerboat Alliance Wine & Beer Tasting Fundraiser

Saturday, February 9th, from 7 PM till 9:30 PM join the Tri-County Powerboat Alliance at it’s 7th annual "Wine and Beer Tasting Fundraiser" The event is held at Ted’s Grandview Supper Club, Wolf River Drive, Fremont, Wisconsin, and will feature wonderful wines and beers along with appetizers, music and silent auction items of signed artist prints, Packer memorabilia and raffling of a wine refrigerator.

Cost is just $30 a couple or $20 for an individual, and proceeds go to making our waterways a safe place for all recreational use. Contact TCPA@centurytel.net or 920 446-3930 for more information. No reservations needed, tickets at the door, "Designated Driver" program with free non-alcohol refreshments for drivers.

If you are boating on the Wolf River this season and having a safe and successful fun-filled day, chances are you have the volunteers of the Tri-County Powerboat Alliance to thank. We are over a 100 member strong, non-profit organization dedicated to making our waterways from New London to Lake Winnebago a safe place for recreational use. Our alliance regularly conducts safe boater education classes, organizes river clean up projects, provides signs and other navigational aids, sponsors informational meetings and raises funds for dredging projects.

Our goal is to promote safe boating and to preserve the Wolf River while maintaining its navigability, accessibility for fair and equitable use by all recreational users. Since our formation in 1994, with all the various users and philosophies of this beautiful water system we emphasize courtesy and safe fun for all. We also work closely with state and local government officials to protect the waterway and it’s natural resources. Each year we sponsor various fund-raising events to pay for navigational aids, such as the lighted buoys that guide boaters and hire barges with cranes to pull "deadheads", partially or fully submerged dead trees that lie in the river channel, that may be perilous to boaters. This past summer we pulled out a dozen 55-gallon drum barrels used for floatation in the floating fishing shanties, various buckets, hazardous metal, debris and garbage from the navigable channel and shoreline of the river during our river clean up. We also contribute to riprap shoreline erosion controls, fish and wildlife protection areas as part of our good citizen policies, among many other guiding principles to protect the river as a resource.

Events this year include our June 7th, annual alliance Wolf River clean up and our annual brat fry at Gills Landing, Weyauwega, on August 2nd.

If you’d like to learn more about our alliance of boaters, the Wolf River or would like to join, please contact us at tcpa@centurytel or http://tcpaweb.googlepages.com

It’s the Water Day version of Earth Day each year as members and the concerned citizens are welcome to join the river clean teams as they remove azardous materials and debris not only from the navigable river channel but also from the shores of the river.
