Appleton, Wis. (June 20, 2018) – Team USA Luge sponsor U.S. Venture, Inc. will welcome Olympians Summer Britcher and Tucker West in Appleton on Thursday, June 21. Both USA Luge athletes hold numerous records and competed in the 2014 and 2018 Olympic Games.

This year, U.S. Venture welcomes back many vendors from previous years in addition to many new ones, including the Fox River Kayaking Company, Wisconsin Timber Rattlers, Happy Bellies Bake Shop and Bona Fide Juicery.
