WISCONSIN: where we enjoy activities in all four seasons. When
you think of Wisconsin do you think beer, cheese and The Packers? I know you've
all heard the stories and studies like the one issued from the Institute for
Health Metrics and Evaluation that found, Wisconsin has the largest amount of
binge drinkers in the country. I'm here to share with you activities we enjoy
in Wisconsin other than drinking.
In the bright, snow covered winter, we
enjoy skiing, tubing, and an annual snowshoe race. We also ride snowmobiles
across trails that snake across homeowner's land and through the National
Forest.
Perkinstown, Wisconsin is nestled in the Chequamegon National
Forest and has a beautiful Winter Sports Area.
In the summer, among the green of the trees, don't miss the
fun at the Perkinstown outhouse races! Teams of five racers. Four pushers and
one sitter!
It seems as if every little town in Wisconsin holds a festival
in the summer. A few are, the Aburndale Music Festival, Colby Cheese Days,
Stratford Heritage Days and of course the Sheboygan Brat Days. My first
paranormal romance, The Dream House Visions and Nightmares takes place in my
birth place, Sheboygan Wisconsin. Snuggled on Lake Michigan and the brat
capital of the world, there are so many activities to enjoy.
Swimming, boating, sailing, fishing, surfing and kiteboarding
on the lake, or you can attend art and music festivals and the famous Sheboygan
Brat days. And yes, we have a 'fryout' while the rest of the country is having
a cookout. We also drink water from the bubbler and drink soda. See, in Wisconsin
there is more to do than drink alcohol!

Wisconsin is a beautiful state. I lived in Waukesha for a short time back in the seventies. We moved there in April and, before our furniture was delivered, a major snow storm hit. In April!
ReplyDeleteAlso, I remember visiting Wisconsin Dells and stopping to eat at Paul Bunyan's.
I've been to Wisconsin several times. Your state is beautiful. I love it. I was there for a conference each time and didn't get to sight see as much as I wanted, but I hope to go back one day to see more. I am entranced. Great post! :)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful. Made me want to pack the car and head that way! Radine
ReplyDeleteThanks ladies, some years it does seem like we have winter 9 months out of the year. But this is Wisconsin and we can have all seasons hit in one week! Yesterday we sat outside and had a campfire on December 2nd!
ReplyDeleteYesterday, December 2nd we sat outside and had a beautiful campfire. Other years we have winter for 9 months!
ReplyDeleteI have been to Minnesota more than once, but I've never made it to Wisconsin although I've always identified it with Minnesota and considered it "cold" country. Thank you for your post that gives tells so much more. I have met a whole lot of people from Wisconsin, but didn't know much about it.
ReplyDeleteWisconsin is a beautiful state for sure! Daily, weekly, monthly, yearly, and seasonal family traditions are always going on.
ReplyDeleteFrom the annual deer hunts to the monthly family get togethers to the daily meditation groups. Indeed there is more to Wisconsin than drinking.
Hi, Victoria! Glad to see you are still writing! Wisconsin might be lovely, but even here in southern Indiana is too cold for me!
ReplyDeleteVery nice description of Wisconsin Vicki.
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping in everyone. I'm looking forward to drawing a name for the winner of and e-book of Bolt Action.
ReplyDeleteAh - wisconsin. I remember the cold winters there quite well, along with those in also cold and snowy Minnesota, which is why I now live down in the much warmer and sunnier South. Thanks for sharing your view of Wisconsin. It is a beautiful state.
