A throwback to celebrate our 35th birthday and to thank you all for sending wishes and joining us for this next trip around the sun!

Please enjoy some of the Moose’s coworkers from the nineties (or the very early Aughts since many of Team Moose didn’t see the 1900s…. 👀).

Happy Birthday to the moose and Will’s Northwoods Inn and thank you to everyone for the support over the past 35 years!

Cheers to another one!
