A Nostalgic Afternoon In 
Fox Lake, Wisconsin
 
By Julie Flemming
 
    Friday afternoon, May 13, 2011, will be a great day to visit the past, hear 
a fantastic concert and enjoy the moment.  The event will take place at Mullin’s 
Drive-In in Fox Lake, Wisconsin, when the Bunny Berigan Jazz Jubilee kicks off 
for a wonderful weekend. 

     To visit the past, the Wisconsin Illinois Musical Antique Phonograph 
Society will be on hand at 3:00 PMto present a program of original Bunny Berigan 
recordings played on vintage phonographs.  The WIMAPS (Wisconsin Illinois 
Musical Antique Phonograph Society) began their regional chapter in 1993.  They 
are known as the “Wisconsin Cheeseheads” in the Phonograph Society world and 
have adorned Nipper as their logo.  The Wisconsinorganization is a group of 
dedicated collectors of phonographs, records, and anything related to the area 
of vintage phonographs and music.  They meet four times per year for the purpose 
of extending their knowledge, learning from others by sharing collections and 
generally having a good time.
       The WIMAPS have made their goal to help promote regional events, such as 
the Bunny Berigan Jazz Jubilee and other community events including school and 
museum presentations.
       At this May 13th event one can enjoy the present by indulging in one of 
the famous “Moose” burgers served up at Mullin’s Drive-In, and watching as 
“real-life” carhops go about their business of taking orders and delivering the 
foods.  Mullin’s Drive-In is one of the few drive-ins in the State of 
Wisconsintoday where “true” carhops work.  Gerald “Moose” Mullin has been 
credited with helping many young people earn summer money to help with further 
education.
      Not only has “Moose” Mullin helped local young people, but he is a sponsor 
of the Bunny Berigan Jazz Jubilee. “Moose” offers a FREE kick-off concert of the 
Bunny Berigan Memorial Band from 4:00to 6:00 PM.on the Friday afternoon of the 
Jazz Jubilee weekend, this year being May 13th.  There is plenty of lawn at the 
Drive-In and all are encouraged to bring their own chairs.  The concert is held 
rain or shine (rain site is the American Legion Post in downtown FoxLake, one 
block West of the Drive-In). “Moose” has been sponsoring this very special 
concert for years in memory of his father, Emmett Mullin, who played in the Fox 
Lake Juvenile Band with Bunny.  Bunny’s Grandfather, John Schlitzberg, was the 
director of the Band and he was known for the coaching he did….. making 
musicians out of young men.
       The public is invited to this very special afternoon in Fox   Lake, 
Wisconsin.  Come and visit the past, enjoy a Dixieland concert given by jazz 
greats of the United States, and experience the moment. Further information can
