Who we are
We are friends and neighbors in Mount Horeb, Wisconsin, who believe that investing in youth is among the most important work a person can do. Once a month we meet to plan scholarships, to honor students, and to prepare for the events where Mount Horeb counts on us. The club was chartered in 1995.
What's coming up
Mount Horeb Summer Frolic — June 11 through 14, 2026, at Grundahl Park
Four days of carnival rides, live music, softball and volleyball tournaments, the Norsk Run, a parade, and fireworks over the park — all with a little extra this year as Mount Horeb joins the country in marking America's 250th birthday. The Optimist Club will be there all weekend, working shifts and selling raffle tickets, and we'd be glad to see you. It is our favorite weekend of the year.
