Hi, my name is Makenna, but mostly everyone calls me Kenna. I went to Mid-State technical college after high school to pursue Business Management. I own my own small business in the heart of Adams Friendship, a little Ice Cream Stand Called “Gimme The Scoop” This will be my 5th summer running it, and it has been nothing short of amazing. I also work full time for my parents business, Eagle Promotions in Mauston, WI. I grew up in Adams Friendship, something about growing up in a small town, makes it even more special. One of my favorite places to be is on Castle Rock Lake. I've been going there since I could walk. Truly one of the most beautiful and relaxing places to free my mind. This will be my 1st official summer at the Turtle. Since working at the Turtle, it has been nothing but amazing. I love how everyone there cares about each other, and works together as a team and also has fun at the same time. I am really looking forward to meeting new people this summer, and hopefully making new friends along the way!
