In 1961, Lake Tomahawk Town Chairman, Ray Sloan, wanted to give summer tourists something other than great fishing, swimming and the beautiful Northwoods scenery. He consequently invited other town teams to challenge the Lake Tomahawk Team to snowshoe baseball games during the summer months in northern Wisconsin. This year marks the 46th year of play and the town is known as the Snowshoe Baseball Capital. Games are played at 7:30 every Monday evening for seven weeks during the summer. This year play begins on June 25th, continuing through August 20th with an additional game scheduled for the 4th of July holiday. There is no admission charge. A concession stand is sponsored on the grounds by local groups such as the Lions, Legion and Church Guild. Food is served beginning at 5:00 p.m. for the convenience of visitors and residents. Every Monday a crowd close to 300 enjoys this family entertainment.
