Local folks of all ages turn out in droves to support the sports teams. On a typical Friday night, it often seems as though the entire town is there to cheer on the football team.Go Dutchmen!
For many cyclists throughout Sheboygan County and beyond, Oostburg is a destination and rest break, often including breakfast at Judi’s Place.
