Campfire Conversation: 

Eric and Ana welcome Discover Wisconsin Brand Manager Kortnee Hass into The Cabin for an extensive look at experiences that are unique to Wisconsin. They include dining experiences like the Madison Jet Room, where Ana recounts not only the meals but the views of planes doing their thing at Dane County Regional Airport. Not too many of these places exist at airports anymore, but Madison still offers the experience. The experience of mail delivery on Geneva Lake is also something you’ll find only in Wisconsin, where people deliver mail by boat, jumping off the boat, popping mail into the box, and jumping back on the boat - all while the boat is in motion (and yes, sometimes they miss!) Freshwater surfing is Sheboygan is a unique experience, since the geography and sandbars tend to make for some of the best lake waves you’ll find anywhere - helping Sheboygan earn the moniker “Malibu of the Midwest.” Speaking of beaches, Schoolhouse Beach on Washington Island features beautiful, rounded rocks that you can visit and enjoy, something hard to find anywhere else. Wisconsin’s supper clubs are pretty unique unto themselves - a true gem of a meal experience you can only have in Wisconsin. Eric noted that Wisconsin is the only state where you can experience two Great Lakes coasts and the Mississippi River, with its bevy of recreational opportunities. And while you can get cheese anywhere, Chalet Cheese outside Monroe is the only place in the U.S. where you can experience the making of the infamous cheese known as Limburger! Some of the World’s Largest things can only be found in Wisconsin, whether it’s a “M “ (at Platteville), a Six Pack (La Crosse), a Chain of Freshwater Lakes (Eagle River), a Fly-In (Oshkosh), or Waterpark (Wisconsin Dells.) Numerous festivals offer unique experiences, including Summerfest in Milwaukee, the annual Cow Chip Toss (Prairie du Sac), or the U.S. Snow Sculpting Competition (Lake Geneva), Even some names are only found in Wisconsin, like Waunakee or Oconomowoc. There’s an island of only goats (Jefferson), a unique children’s garden with lighted tunnels and a library (Bookworm Gardens in Sheboygan), a museums dedicated to Harley-Davidson Motorcycles (Milwaukee), Woodcarving (Shell Lake), and all things eclectic like House on the Rock, which is without question something you can only experience in Wisconsin. Craft breweries, wineries, and distilleries offer unique experiences, as do the extensive cranberry marsh tours you can take, the experience of a Milwaukee Brewers game under the only fan-shaped convertible stadium roof in the world, or - of course - legendary Lambeau Field in Green Bay. We dive into all of these and more in this fun and unique episode!
