ANNUAL
REPORT
FROM THE BOARD PRESIDENT
Dear Friends,
Our twenty-fourth year was a
collection of outstanding performances
at the tent, vibrant shows on tour and
exciting programs over the airwaves on
Tent Show Radio. It is amazing how
year after year Lake Superior Big Top
Chautauqua can continue to dazzle
audiences on every level.
The credit goes to our outstanding
staff and volunteers, our wonderful and
versatile Blue Canvas Orchestra, our
dedicated Board of Directors and our ever generous
contributors. We thank you for buying tickets, sponsoring
shows and donating what you can to keep this organization
strong.
Highlights of the year were new shows performed by the
Blue Canvas Orchestra which included Laurel Canyon
1970, Blue Canvas Christmas and Bally Hoo Haw, and the
celebration of the 25th anniversary of our signature show
Riding the Wind. Big Top Idol brought outstanding talent
from throughout the Bay to rock the tent, personally one of
my favorite nights of all time. The variety of new national
artists that performed from the Avett Brothers to Great Big
Sea to Los Lonely Boys were fabulous crowd pleasers and
showcased how Big Top can build new audiences for all
ages. A great new partnership was formed with Stage North
to provide opportunities for the Blue Canvas Orchestra to
perform off season, and to share artistic talent for Big
Top’s variety shows. We look forward to this relationship
continuing for years to come.
My message of gratitude is very heartfelt, to all of you,
your support of Big Top Chautauqua is truly marvelous.
So many people make this organization successful, we
appreciate you, we need you and because of you we are
looking forward to our 25th year of magical entertainment.
Our Board of Directors is truly dedicated to the success
of Big Top Chautauqua. We recognize the financial
challenges of this year and we are striving to find increased
funding sources so that the Big Top can grow a more stable
financial base. I want to thank the board for their
commitment to this organization and its future.
Another year passes and we reflect on Big Top’s
contribution to the entertainment scene of Chequamegon
Bay. We want to continue to be a strong partner in
bringing people to the region, to providing outstanding
shows for our residents, and supporting new talent as they
launch their entertainment careers. We look forward to
2011, as a year of celebration and thanks. Please review
this annual report and know that only because of you can
we keep the “MAGIC” alive.

BIG TOP CHAUTAUQUA’S
ECONOMIC IMPACT ON OUR COMMUNITY
Bring People to the Area
Bayfield area lodging owners rate Big Top Chautauqua as the top activity
for their guests.
Nearly 530,000 people;
over $100 million!
During the past two and a half decades over half a million people have
attended Big Top performances, many of them tourists and visitors to the
area. The indirect benefit of these visitors to the lodging, restaurants, retail
stores, gas stations and other industries has been estimated by the Wisconsin Department of Tourism at well over $3.9 million
annually.
Publicity efforts promoting the region
cost Big Top Chautauqua over $100,000 annually. This rivals or exceeds the promotional budgets of many chambers of commerce and significantly promotes regional
tourism.
Our weekly Tent Show Radio program
is heard on 54 radio stations in ten states and introduces hundreds of new visitors to the
area. The show is provided free of charge to noncommercial radio stations. Production
and distribution of Tent Show Radio is paid for by Big Top Chautauqua and its Tent
Show Radio sponsors.
Direct financial support for Mt. Ashwabay
is generated by Big Top patrons enjoying the food and bar concessions
operated by the Ashwabay Outdoor Education Foundation.
Dozens of other organizations are
assisted by donations of tickets and merchandise to help them achieve
their charitable goals in the community.
At least $1 million per year in
direct expenses go back into our immediate community for salaries,
taxes, transportation, advertising, telecommunications and all the other
things necessary to operate a nonprofit performing arts organization. The
local artists supported by Big Top help make this one of the most diverse
and productive artistic communities in the state.

NATIVE AMERICAN CULTURAL CONNECTIONS
August 8, 2010
Big Top Chautauqua was the ideal setting to bring residents and visitors together to learn about our
area’s rich Ojibwe heritage. Members of the Red Cliff Band of Lake Superior Chippewa led
workshops that focused on traditional arts and crafts, storytelling and music. The event concluded
with performances by Red Cliff Drum, Scooter “Laughing Fox” Charette, Frank Montano and the
multi-award-winning Native American recording group Brulé & AIRO.
Big Top was pleased to receive support from the Performing Arts Fund, a program of Arts Midwest
funded by the National Endowment for the Arts, with additional contributions from the Wisconsin Arts Board, the Human Rights
Fund of the Apostle Islands Area Community Fund, an affiliate of the Duluth-Superior Area Community Foundation and the Isle
Vista Casino of Red Cliff for Native American Cultural Connections.

It was a joke.
It was April 1 - as in April Fool’s
Day. And, really, did anyone think the
huge tent of the Lake Superior Big
Top Chautauqua actually would be
turned into the world’s biggest hat?
And a Stormy Kromer hat to boot?
When the press release was sent
out by social media as well to local
news outlets by Big Top Chautauqua
marketing director Jamey Ritter a

Kromer to come off the line.
Kromer Canvas Canopy, two icons of
Lake Superior's southern shore joining forces, naming rights to
Bayfield County’s canvas jewel, Guinness Book of Records, etc.
There was even a picture, manipulated in Photoshop, showing the
tent with a 40-foot-long hat brim.
It was fun, it was goofy, it wasn’t real. But quite a few people
wanted one.
“We have people who are Stormy Kromer fans, and we have
people who are Big Top fans, and then there are those who overlap.
They say this is the best thing ever,” said Ritter.
160 of the Special Edition Kromers were ordered.
It’s a hot Wednesday afternoon in
July, and five Lake Superior Big Top
Chautauqua Blue Canvas Singers are
sitting around a table in the basement
of Big Top’s Washburn office
building smoothing out harmonies to
a gospel-style “Joy to the World.”
On Sunday, concert-goers will be
treated to “Blue Canvas Christmas in

with December. Blue Canvas band
director Ed Willet said Big Top has talked about a Christmas show for
years, but finally decided this was the year to make it a reality. So the
musicians began researching some favorite holiday songs, and they
recruited actor Liz Woodworth and John Munson of Wisconsin Public
Radio as contributors.
“We wanted the show to be really engaging, so we did a lot of
research to find tunes we could get behind and suited our style,” he
said. Often, they discovered their own favorite singers and
songwriters had performed holiday songs, and found inspiration there.
WATCH FOR A BCO CHRISTMAS CD IN 2011!
BIG TOP TOURING
Every fall after we pull up the tent stakes and roll up the canvas, Big Top’s performers and crew hit the road,
bringing the “magic” of Chautauqua to theaters and schools throughout the Midwest.

VOLUNTEERS
Volunteers play an integral role in keeping the magic of Chautauqua alive at Mt. Ashwabay each summer.
Individuals and families from near and far contribute their time, energy and talents to the growth and
success of our programs. Our volunteers work with the Big Top staff from our office and on show nights
as ticket sellers, ushers, parking guides and sellers of Big Top and guest artist merchandise. Our dedicated
volunteers contribute well over 6,000 hours of their time annually. Raising our blue and gray tent every
May is another major volunteer effort. We could not do it without them!

BE A BIG TOP STAKEHOLDER
It takes hundreds of tent stakes and thousands of stakeholders to keep the tent in the air each year.
Because ticket sales cover just over half of Chautauqua’s total operating costs, Big Top needs to
raise nearly half of its revenues from other sources. Your annual generosity in contributing to our
fundraising campaign is the only way the shows can continue - be a Big Top stakeholder!
WAYS TO GIVE
ANNUAL FUND DRIVES
VOLUNTEERING
Our spring, fall and year-end fund drives provide operating
support for our immediate expenses. All $100+ donors are
enrolled in our Advanced Donor Notification Program, which gives
donors advanced notice and pre-sales ticket buying capabilities for
summer programs. Gifts of all sizes are needed and appreciated.
Gifts of time are extremely valuable to Big Top as volunteers are
crucial to the success of each summer season and the year-round
planning. New friends are always welcome - look to our website
on how you can lend a few hours or more!
SPECIAL EVENTS
MAJOR GIFT
Donors who are able to make a major donation to the Big Top
help provide stability and growth opportunities to our
organization. Sometimes the gifts are unrestricted operating
funds, and other times, they are needed to launch and sustain
special projects and programs.
Special fundraising events provide a fun way to be involved while
helping Big Top Chautauqua. The “Chautauqua Uncorked” wine
tasting event helped raise $2,500 in new money last year. Some
years we have gala dinners, boat trips, and the ever popular
“Parties of Note” hosted by volunteers in our community. Join in
the fun and contribute to Big Top at the same time!
SPONSORSHIPS
RAFFLE TICKETS
Show sponsorships are an excellent marketing vehicle for your
business and a way to be personally involved with putting on one
of our stellar performances. Sponsors underwrite production and
promotion expenses associated with a particular show at the tent,
on tour or on Tent Show Radio. In turn, Big Top Chautauqua
provides a number of promotional vehicles designed to bring your
organization’s name to our audiences. But they’re not just for
businesses - they’re also a fun way for individuals to support their
favorite artists or celebrate a special occasion while helping the
Big Top at the same time.
Originally the “Keepers of the Magic” launched our annual raffle
which contributes upwards of $15,000 to Big Top every year for
operations. In addition, the Keepers started an endowment fund
held by the Duluth Superior Community Foundation - the
interest from which will lay the foundation for future tent
replacements. The fund currently holds approximately $50,000.
HERITAGE SOCIETY PLANNED GIFTS
Leave your legacy of support for Big Top Chautauqua after you’re
gone. The Heritage Society recognizes those individuals who
make provisions in their estate for Big Top. Becoming a member
is easy - through your will, life insurance policy, beneficiary
designation on a CD or retirement plan, Charitable Remainder
or other Trust. Our Development Manager would be happy to
have a confidential conversation with you on planned giving and
any other gift opportunities. For more information please call
715-373-5520. See our list of Charter Members below.

TENT SHOW RADIO
Tent Show Radio is our weekly variety series
showcasing live performances from Lake Superior
Big Top Chautauqua. Featuring Big Top’s Tom
Mitchell, the Blue Canvas Orchestra, and
nationally and regionally renowned performers,
Tent Show Radio is heard every week on listenersupported radio stations across the country, and the
world on the Internet.
Each week features a different live performance from Big Top
Chautauqua’s summer season of concerts and musical productions. Tune
in to Tent Show Radio and bring Big Top Chautauqua into your home.
If your local listener-supported radio station does not carry Tent Show
Radio, contact their program director. Big Top Chautauqua is always
seeking additional stations to join the list of broadcasters.
Tent Show Radio was made possible in 2010 in part by the generous
support of the Wisconsin Department of Tourism and Leinenkugel’s.
