Parking is all in the surrounding neighborhood so you will park blocks away. This county fair had all the fair stuff with animals, rides, food, beer tent attractions and amusement games but it was oddly different because people weren't doing anything but walking around. The carnies were standing in front of empty rides as well as games of chance. We went back after 9 pm thinking that it would liven up but no, still idle games/rides and kind of pathetic for a county fair, is it the economic times ?.

What an amazing place!…read more We just happened to have been driving by the establishment, enroute to another attraction when the "Open" sign and (2) two Copper Kettles caught our attention. The wife and I decided to stop in and see what it was all about. We were met in the parking lot by a volunteer named "John". John was a likable guy who immediately welcomed us and invited us in. John gave a personal tour of the museum and came to find out that John was himself a lifelong cheese maker on a mark not too far from the museum. I learned more about cheese in the 45 minutes we were there than I knew throughout my lifetime of being a professional chef. Bottom line, the entire family would love the tour! And he's, unfortunately no sample cheese was available or offered at the gift shop.

Monroe Cheese Days, how to describe it for someone who's never been? It's a festival celebrating…read moreMonroe's claim to fame: cheese. More specifically, locally made cheese and limburger cheese. Local beer is a big part of it too, but that's not the star of the show (and for good reason because Minhas brews are less than good). There's live music, most of which is fantastic (pro tip: check out the beer tent down by Minhas, that's where you'll find some great music, especially later in the afternoon and evening). There are some fun Swiss cultural experiences to be had from the stage on the South side of the Square thanks to the Alphorn players, yodelers, and accordion players. As for food, the cheese curds are stupid good. Yes the line is long, and yes you should do it anyway. I only wish they'd offer an additional ticket where you have the option to pay an extra $.50-$1 to pair funky cheese sauces and aioli dips with your curds. These curds certainly don't need sauces, but it'd add to the whole foodie experience. A few notes for first-timers: -Get the cheese curds. You can't possibly participate in a Cheese Days celebration without eating these cheese curds. I promise they're the best you've ever had. -There are two beer areas: one surrounding the square, a second at the beer tent. The beer used to be restricted to beer tents only, now you can wander each respective area. -Music at the Beer tent is a must. -The beer stand on the square offers different brews than that at the Beer Tent down by Minhas, so try something from both areas. Don't expect to love the Minhas beer though. -Check out the hospitality tent ahead of time for events you want to participate in. They're free. I recommend the cheese and beer pairing class. It's lead by a Master Cheesemaker.

OMG I'm a complete car guy and I have been regularly visiting Blanchardville Wi for over 20 + years…read moreand I have never left a review or pictures for the car show, I couldn't because I had to add them to Yelp so I could leave pictures and a review. Any gear head would love this show because it usually has 400 to 500 cars, bikes, trucks, tractors etc etc and they have like 32 classes to complete in. If your thing doesn't have a class they even have an area for just showing what you bring. I don't think with C19 this show was as big as the past but it was still cool with a great presentation of mostly American vehicle, honesty I'm not into tuner cars so this is a nice show. Im very disappointed at the food offerings and the price because they had cold pre package cheeseburgers that seemed like they were cooked hours ago and dry, cheap as F small patty on a generic white bun with cheese slapped on which wasn't even melted. For $4.50 I expect my crappy cheeseburger to be grilled on site with melted cheese at least at room temperature. Come on and step up your food game, yah it's in farm country but don't feed us like animals just because your too lazy to bring something better to the event. The beer was pretty basic also with domes and spotted cow. Ok so the next time I'm skipping the food and going next door to the restaurant, I will pay double for a better lunch.

The Green County Welcome center serves many purposes. Located in the former Milwaukee Road Depot,…read morethe structure also houses the National Historic Cheesemaking Museum and the Milk House Gift Shop. Built in 1888, the railroad depot was moved to its present location in 1993. The building was restored by members and friends of the organization and dubbed the "Monroe Depot." It reopened today, April 1, and will be open through October 31. On June 8, 2013, retired cheesemakers will make a 90 pound wheel of Swiss cheese, as it was done over 100 year ago. The milk arrives approximately 9:00 a.m. and the day continues until the wheel of cheese is completed. During the day, you can order a Master Grilled Cheese Sandwiches and finish it off with a fresh cream puff with real whipped cream. (This event happens on the first Saturday of every June.) Next to the Welcome Center is a stuffed and mounted Milwaukee Road caboose. The number, 992094, indicates it was in the last batch of "rib side" caboose built by the Milwaukee Road shops, in 1951. The Milwaukee Road built 315 of the unique rib sided caboose between 1939 and 1951. After 1951, the Milwaukee Road ordered caboose from Thrall Car Company which are of a more "conventional" design. The inside is restored and very clean. It's a great attraction for any rail buff.
