Schultz's Country Barn was built in 1914 by JD Cooper. In 1947 Elmer Schultz purchased the farm and 60 years later it's still the Schultz Farm. Elmer milked cows in the barn for close to 50 years while he and his wife Leanna raised seven children. Duane Schultz later bought the farm from Elmer after milking with him for many years.</p> <p>According to Carlene Schultz "On September 30th, 2006 my lifelong dream to have my own craft store became a reality. For 38 years my husband and I have sold crafts, pumpkins and other fall produce out of our garage. Each year the business grew a little bigger. In 1995 when my husband sold his milking cows, I thought 'what a wonderful place to have a gift shop.' In 2004 it began taking shape thanks to the help of our five grown children, our extended family and many friends. After 1 1/2 years of hard work and countless hours, we finally opened our year-round country store and loft rental!"</p> <p>After the renovation the interior of the barn still has the original timbers, some cow stanchions and drinking cups. The hay barn (which is available for party rental) still has the hay conveyor, ladders and many of Elmer's old tools hanging on the walls. Corn Maze The first step is to come up with the design you want. The Maze Co. then generates this onto their computer. They then transfer it to their GPS. When the corn is 8-12' high, they come with their GPS, 4-row corn cutter and cut the maze through the cornfield. Their maze is 6.5 acres and it takes 6-7 hours to cut it. They have to keep up after he is done, until the opening date, with cutting any regrowth. Now they have to decide where they want what we call "Check Points" to be. Each person is given a ticket with six punches marked on their ticket. When they find the first check point, they punch their appropriate area on the card, etc. This is the fun and game of a corn maze, to see if you can find all of the check points. We also have trivia questions throughout the maze, which are educational and entertaining. These questions also help, because you can tell if you have been down that row before, if you keep seeing the question over and over. IT IS FUN and CHALLENGING!!</p> <p>Loft Rentals are now open for parties or events of any kind!

Your Santa offers the services of a Professionally Trained, Real Bearded Santa Claus to share the Christmas Spirit throughout the year. Located right here in the Chippewa Valley, Your Santa is available 12 months a year for personal appearances for home visits, family gatherings, business meetings, community events, parties, receptions, and more.<br /><br /> Your Santa is really Roger Kees, a lifelong resident of the Chippewa Valley (Please don’t tell the children.) Roger is a retired educator and technology consultant with experience in theatre and vocal performance and has served as Master of Ceremonies for concerts and recitals in the Eau Claire area. He also has training and experience in photography, video, and audio production as talent and as production staff.<br /><br /> In 2012 Roger attended one of the premier Santa training institutes – The Professional Santa Claus School in Denver, CO - to build his skills as Santa. Under the tutelage of a staff of highly experienced Santas and Santa trainers, he learned techniques to build a professional Santa appearance, increase audience excitement with fun and simple group activities for children and adults, make his one-on-one interaction with children more magical and believable, and, handle unexpected situations with confidence.</p> <p>It is the goal of Your Santa to provide a wholesome, family-centric depiction of Santa Claus as the embodiment of the true Spirit of Christmas. Kindness, gentleness and love of children are our creed. We believe the story of Santa begins with the life of Nicholas of Myra, also known as St. Nicholas. We strive to learn all we can about the history of the Santa legend and to incorporate the many tales and classic depictions of Santa into our own performances. By studying the teachings of the Church, the writings of Charles Dickens and Clement Clarke Moore, to the works of Disney and Pixar, Your Santa tries to build a very believable and honest depiction of Santa. We hope that, after a visit from Your Santa, your audience might believe that it is possible, that there really might be, possibly, a Real Santa and that he might be Your Santa!</p>
