Timber Rattlers: A New Kind of Rattle

Friday, July 9th, 2010

Baseball will always be America’s pastime and we’re very lucky to have in Northeast Wisconsin the Minor League Brewers Affiliate- Wisconsin Timber Rattlers. The Timber Rattlers have been gaining a lot of press lately, especially with the new deals on RTownShopper.com. For the last month, RTownShopper has been promoting Timber Rattlers tickets, giving fans a good reason to buy them at 50% off.

Catch the game on Monday, August 2nd at Fox Cities Stadium. First pitch is at 7:05PM. These tickets are available at 50% off on RTownShopper. And just to make the night even sweeter, there’s a mouse pad giveaway.

Back in May 2010, the T-Rats traveled to Miller Park in Milwaukee for a big game against the Cedar Rapids Kernels. Don’t know any of the players? Get to know your main guys here. In the video, many of the players are genuinely excited waiting for the game to start. Right handed pitcher, Chad Robinson even tells us that his first impression of Miller Park is that he feels like a little kid again! The Timber Rattlers normally play on their home turf at the Fox Cities Stadium in Appleton, Wisconsin.

Bringing a big family or group to a baseball game isn’t always easy and it definitely isn’t cheap. But when you buy tickets on RTownShopper, you get to take the crew for half the price. Make a Timber Rattlers game the perfect summer outing with help from RTownShopper!

Wednesday, June 30th, 2010

Our customers are priority and we’re very fortunate to be able to provide you with so many savings opportunities. But RTownShopper.com is about more than saving money. It’s also about bringing people together: new customers into businesses, treating the family to a round of mini-golf, or taking your loved-one out for a special evening.  For you gentlemen out there, we’ve come up with a creative way for you to use RTownShopper to plan an entire weekend getaway with your sweetheart, fit to end with a proposal.

First, make sure everything is covered; you’ve asked her father’s permission for her hand in marriage, you’ve planned out the romantic getaway, the car is packed, and you’ve arranged for Lovin’ Pets to take care of your pooch while you’re away.lthumb_d6910a9f-147e-cd1a-fd53-4bccb2a05601

The first activity for this special weekend is Serenity Day Spa and Salon where you’ll both relax with a one-hour massage, facial, sugar scrub, and rain forest shower.

After she feels rejuvenated, take her to get her hair professionally done at Royal Hair Designs, because you know she’ll want to look nice for your next activity. Next stop is to visit photographer Debbie Daanen to ensure this day is remembered forever.

Finally, it’s time to check into your room at Sybaris, the perfect romantic getaway spot. lthumb_ab460e74-470c-0b2a-c285-4ba0d3fe09eeWaiting in the room is a gorgeous arrangement of flowers from Belle Fiori.lthumb_9138d58b-1eea-f3b3-b313-4b0330d85db3

Dinner reservations are at 8 so you both rush to get ready for dinner at Millhome Supper Club where their mission is to “give you a dining experience that is second to none…”

After dinner, she may find it strange that she’s all dressed up for the night of bowling you’ve planned at the 10th Frame, but she goes along with it. 1064bowling_ballAs she gets ready to bowl and puts her fingers in the appropriate holes, a ring slips onto her finger.

Manitowoc County Fair – Wisconsin’s Blue Ribbon Fair

Tuesday, August 18th, 2009

County fairs are a staple for a Northeast Wisconsin Summer, and when the end of August approaches and just before the kids are packing their bags to head back to school there is always the Manitowoc County Fair for a little more enjoyment and entertainment.

Like most county fairs there is plenty to see and do. From livestock shows to a demolition derby and tractor pull, the day and evening schedules are full. For 2009, the big attractions include the chainsaw sculpture show by the LogHoggers and a headliner concert by country star Darryl Worley.

This year’s fair takes place from Aug. 25 to Aug. 30 at the Manitowoc County Expo Center located just a half-mile from Interstate 43. Daily admission ranges from $4 for seniors to $25 for the entire week.

With opening day just around the corner it you still have plenty of time to plan a day or two at the fair grounds before putting a cap on the summer. There is a lot to see and do, so check out the fair schedule and pick the days will be perfect for you. If you’re unsure about staying the night, RTownShopper can cut your lodging expense in half at the Super 8 right in the city of Manitowoc. Otherwise the fairways and greens are always beautiful at the Fox Hills Resort where the savings you’ll get can be used for games and rides at the fair.

International Talent and Award-Winning Live Performances in Appleton

Tuesday, August 11th, 2009

When it comes to entertainment there is a sensation about sitting in front of a stage that trumps the enjoyment garnered from the silver screen or digital media player. But it’s very rare to get the chance to see a live show that is renowned in the arts and entertainment section of the New York Times outside of the Big Apple.

Fortunately for those that can’t pack a weekend bag and fly to wherever these shows are, the Fox Cities Performing Arts Center in Appleton Wis. hosts some of the greatest plays, concerts, comedians and performances from around the globe right here in Northeast Wisconsin.

This state-of-the-art facility opened its doors to a boastful crowd in 2002. Inside the $45 Million building is a 5,000 square foot stage where visitors from across Wisconsin, Upper Michigan and Illinois come to take in the world’s most beautiful ballets, Broadway’s greatest plays, comedians like Bill Cosby, and symphonies from history’s finest.

With a lineup that rivals big city theaters and concert halls, many shows at this Northeast Wisconsin treasure book months prior, so it’s best to plan everything from show times to lodging, dining and other activities early. This doesn’t need to be an expensive trip to see an amazing show. The discounted gift certificates from RTownShopper keep your entertainment budget-friendly.

RTownShopper offers 50% off rooms at hotels and resorts like Cambria Suites and Rustic Wolf Inn that are just miles from the spotlights and speakers of the Performing Arts Center,. For dining options from breakfast to late night cravings, our team has put together savings of up to 75% off hometown dinners like Blueberry Hill Pancake House, Hungry Howie’s Pizza and Queen Bee.

It’s time to make the move to see that live performance that keeps getting pushed off. Map those plans early with RTownShopper for huge savings and guilt-free enjoyments.

Fast Savings for the Northeast Wisconsin Gear Head

Monday, July 13th, 2009

It’s the sound of a big-block V8, the smell of racing fuel, and the sight of 600-hp, feather-light cars drifting around dirt corners that ignites a high-octane exhilaration in gear heads. For those who are not concerned with piston rings or tire pressure, the thrill comes from the sheet metal-crimpling crashes, as long as everyone walks away unscathed.

Regardless of why you enjoy watching it, circle track racing is an American favorite and one of Northeast Wisconsin’s premier racetracks is Shawano Speedway. Located on the Shawano County Fairgrounds, this half-mile dirt oval entertains fans every Saturday night from April to September with five divisions of racecars. Classes include the low-cost, crash-happy IMCA stock cars, chopped and customized IMCA modifieds, and the lighting quick, high-output IMCA late models.

Tickets at the gate are already reasonable, but RTownShopper has discounted gift certificates for two adult tickets or family-size packages to a mudslinging, heart-pumping evening at Shawano Speedway. Also, be sure to check out the deals RTownShopper has for Shawano, Wisconsin-area restaurants so you can fuel up before the engines roar and the green flag drops.
