Thanks to all of YOU - 715 Harvest Fest raised $20,000 for the Waupaca County Dive & Rescue Team this year!!!
We have always stood proudly besides this selfless organization because we believe in the importance of supporting their training, equipment, and maintenance:
✅ Investing in the safety and well-being of our citizens and visitors
✅ Investing in training for the demanding work of Public Safety Diving
✅ Investing so we can purchase equipment to ensure our divers return home safely
✅ Giving back to YOU and YOUR community, so we can all safely enjoy our lakes and rivers
Since the team’s inception at the end of 2023, they’ve already responded to three calls for service. Thanks to support like this, they are able to respond quickly, efficiently, and safely. Our team currently includes five Public Safety Divers and eight Surface Technicians, ensuring team members are always ready when the call comes in.
In 2025, they conducted four major training sessions, including ice diving, evidence recovery, HAZMAT decontamination, and boat diving. All skills vital to protecting our community on and around the water.
🚨 THANK YOU, 715 Harvest Fest! 🚨
On Saturday, October 11th, the 715 HarvestFest was held in King, marking five incredible years of giving back to our community. Over that time, the HarvestFest committee has donated nearly all proceeds to the Waupaca County Dive Team, and their generosity has truly shaped where we are today.
This year was no exception! The 715 HarvestFest Committee presented our dive team with an incredible $20,000 donation to support training, equipment, and maintenance!
715 HarvestFest has always stood by their “WHY”:

✅ Investing so we can purchase equipment to ensure our divers return home safely
✅ Giving back to YOU and YOUR community, so we can all safely enjoy our lakes and rivers
