Put your game face on and head over to the Ripon Public Library on Tuesday, May 15 at 6:00 P.M. for some kids-free, adult gaming. This month we will focus on games that use the worker placement game mechanic. Our feature game will be Lords of Waterdeep, in which players take on the role of the secret rulers of the city to recruite adventurers for quests that increase your influence over the city. Copies of Champions of Midgard, Robinson Crusoe, and Smash Up will also be available for participants to explore. What is worker placement games?As Board Game Geek describes it, “More precisely referred to as “action drafting”, this mechanism requires players to select individual actions from a set of actions available to all players. Players generally select actions one-at-a-time and in turn order. There is usually a limit on the number of times a single action may be taken. Once that limit for an action is reached, it typically either becomes more expensive to take again or can no longer be taken for the remainder of the round. As such, not all actions can be taken by all players in a given round.” For a game description, instructions and a video tutorial for our feature game,Lords of Waterdeep,please visit our website at www.riponlibrary.org/WorkerPlacement.Did we miss any worker placement games you enjoy? Bring your favorites to share! Adult Game Night meets the third Tuesday of every month at 6:00 P.M.
These programs are free and open to the public. Call the library at 748-6160 or contact Mandy Sprague at msprague@riponlibrary.org for more information.

This event will take place on Sunday, May 27, and offers several routes that take riders on a scenic journey through Green Lake County’s vibrant communities.
The ride officially begins around 7:00 a.m. from Green Lake’s Deacon Mill Park, then riders are off to explore Green Lake at their leisure on whatever scenic route they choose. Registration cost includes a dinner and music at Deacon Mills Park after the ride.
Rest stops will be loaded with good eats, plenty of water and sports drinks to fuel you for the rest of your ride. They are spread out approximately every 20 miles and will be listed on the map presented at registration.
Routes will be marked and support vehicles will be available to assist riders.
There is no designated mass start time for participants. Instead, riders need to plan to depart as early as 7:00 am (sunrise) and no later than 10:00 am on the day of the ride, depending on their anticipated pace and planned distance. In order to ensure participants reach rest stops during operating hours, please depart during the specified window. Slower riders and those planning to ride the longer routes with multiple stops should depart earlier in the day.
Please join other riders at the end of the ride to enjoy a meal and relaxing music at the Deacon Mill Park upon finishing. The music will offer a country bluegrass genre performed by Noah John and Ringing Iron.

June 1st through August 31st. The concerts run from 7:00 to 10:00 pm and take place at The Village Green located at the corner of Watson and Seward Street in downtown Ripon.
For the 26th consecutive summer, the streets of downtown Ripon will be filled with the sound of music when the Ripon Summer Concert Series returns. This year’s series includes a greater variety of music than ever before. Organized by Ripon Main Street, Inc., the free outdoor concer series will begin on Thursday, May 31st with performances by the RMS and RHS Jazz Bands. The entertainment continues on Friday, June 1st with Wisconsin’s premier 80s rock cover band Cherry Pie.
The series features a diverse group of entertainers encompassing a wide range of musical styles. Several community favorites are returning to the lineup including Cherry Pie, Road Trip, Star Six Nine and Vic Ferrari. New groups including FBI & the Untouchable Horns, Incendio and Keith Anderson. We believe you will find the mixture of new bands and old favorites very appealing.
The series typically takes place on Friday evenings, June through August, but occasionally bonus concerts are added or events rescheduled due to weather issues. Participants are encouraged to bring lawn chairs or blankets to sit on. NO CARRY-INs are allowed in the park because beverage sales help cover entertainment expenses. Free music isn’t really free.
A special Thank You goes out to the local businesses that sponsor the music series. Let them know you appreciate the financial commitment they have made to our community. We are grateful to have their support, because there would not be a concert series without their financial assistance.
Ripon Main Street, Inc. invites you to enjoy an evening of entertainment in historic downtown Ripon and discover what makes our community so special.
