The Zillges Shanty

With the sturgeon season upon us, I thought it would be a good time to share a couple of related pictures. First, we have this...

I'd love to know how many cans of Chief Oshkosh Beer were handed out and downed in and around that shack. Roger Zillges was the owner and operator of this ice shanty. Zillges worked for the Oshkosh Brewing Company. He began his career there in 1954 as a truck driver. He ended as the brewery's vice president.

Back to the fishing… I don’t think this next picture requires any explanation at all. Prost!
