The Ways and Means Committee of the WCA usually grills brats, hamburgers and hot dogs for lunch on Saturday. Dining at the Chuckwagon is inexpensive and saves you the trouble of preparing lunch.

Saturday evenings vary at Campventions. Sometimes Gary Cross entertains with his guitar and songs. Perhaps a DJ will play member's favorite songs and teach a new dance. Karoke is always a favorite! Members show off their artistic talent and entertain the crowd with their interpretation of a song!
