When you hear of the holyland, you probably think of the area surrounding the Jordan River. However, there is an area about an hour north of Cedarburg that is also known as the holyland, that's known for its agricultural landscape, close-knit communities, and deep-rooted Roman Catholicism that was brought to the area by Germans who settled there in the mid-1800s. This area is also unofficially known as the supper club capital of Wisconsin and is where the Schwarzs and the Stenzes grew up. Pretty much anyone born in the holyland was taught how to play sheepshead at a very young age. It's a card game that is easy to learn but takes a lifetime to master and they would like to pass on their skills. 10 people willl learn the basics of sheepshead and explore some variations of the game.

Don't worry, your party will be fed and hydrated between games with a selection heavy appetizers and cocktails that you would typically see at a holyland supper club or potluck. Bring your Crown Royal bag full of nickels, dimes, and quarters and you'll leave having learned a game that we remember playing with our parents when we were young. Transportation to and from the Schwarz's home is even included in this fun night out!
