Those options are all available through Forward Outdoor. FOX6 even caught T-Mobile Stage headliner Tucker Wetmore out on a paddle boat doing a little fishing and relaxing before his big show Thursday night. The owner of the business said he just wanted people to enjoy the outdoors – and for some first-timers, it was a hit.

"You can actually hear a number of different stages and bands and depending on where you are on the water, you might even be able to catch your favorite artist," said Kurt Baehmann of Forward Outdoor.
"It’s a good experience to have different things, not just food and rides, it’s just something different overall," said Heaven Cobb of Milwaukee.
What you can do:
It's $12 for those 12 and up and $8 for the younger kids. Individuals could stay out there for 30 minutes, and that was plenty of time to take in music from a few different stages.
