In the early 1930's, Fisherman's Inn was a small building, built by Herman Wanke, which sold beer and sandwiches. In the 1940's the building was raised and living quarters were built underneath. Richerts ran it under the name of O'Malley's until Mr/Mrs Don Schmidt bought it and renamed it Fisherman's Inn Supper Club. In 1974, the Bowlus Family bought it and added an addition which included a new banquet room and restrooms. In 1987, Ralph/Esther Peterson, Jim/Theresa Peterson and Don/Nancy Klassen purchased it and continued the fine dining. Business was good and they added another addition and and large deck space.

​The team began in the middle of the 1950's and put on one weekend show for the entire year. Much practice was required and new acts were invented! By 1974, weekly shows began on Lake Zumbro and a partnership with Fisherman's Inn was born! In the beginning, private boats and equipment were used and so donations were collected at each show to raise money for much-needed equipment, costumes and boat gas. Acts were also being perfected to the point that the team was able to travel to different areas to perform and compete in tournaments.
