A friend told us about this event so we drove the two hours to Appleton on a Friday to check it…read moreout. It is very well organized and has an excellent app to help plan your attack. There are hundreds of of bands over the three days on dozen of stages. It is really mind boggling on what it must take to coordinate the logistics. We wandered around to a few outdoor stages and since it was relatively cool out for early August it was bearable to sit outside in the sun. If you want shade you are out of luck and if it were really hot or rainy well the set-up of most outside stages would be a problem. If you don't want to stand bring your own chairs but again it doesn't solve the issue of no cover at most outdoor stages - a real downside. Just about every music genre is represented so you should find something you like.

A pretty dang cool, FREE music festival! In my hometown!…read moreI am only sad that this didn't exist while I was still around the area! Spread out across many, MANY bars, restaurants, coffee shops, parks, and other outdoor spaces in the downtown Appleton area, on or near to College Avenue, concerts from local and up and coming bands playing original music are staged over the course of 3-4 days. Really love and follow a particular band on the lineup? Or perhaps fall madly in love with a new performer or group early in the festival? Good news! They might play again...or several more times! Maybe on the same day...maybe once everyday, probably at a different location. But you won't have to go very far. Entry is free...since the festival "grounds" aren't in an enclosed, stand alone space. The bars don't charge a cover, most don't have a credit card minimum (although...some do, so be aware). I really enjoyed the few artists I was able to see! I only wish I had had more time to enjoy MORE of it! As it stood, I really only had one day free for concert-ing. It was a great time and it was nice to get to experience this established festival.

I hit up this fest because of fondue. Let's be honest here, I've never said no to fondue…read more In this case, the Moraine Park Technical College culinary arts program was serving up cheese fondue with fresh artisan bread and chocolate fondue with strawberries and chocolate chip cookies. For $3 per order, folks! The cheese fondue was reminiscent of a nice beer cheese soup to me, and the chocolate fondue was dark and decadent. The fest itself was MUCH larger than I had expected. Block after block of pop up booths filled with local restaurants, bars, pet goods, churches, produce, jams and baked goods, vendors like Wildtree and Tastefully Simple, antique shops, custom made clothing, jewelry and more. I also saw a booth selling domestic beer for $2.50! I have the feeling I could have easily made myself miserable with good food and drink for under $15. Entry to the festival and street parking was free, and there were live bands as well. I didn't notice any of the booths taking credit cards, but one of the vendors did mention that she thought you could buy tokens with credit cards at the fest, and the tokens were accepted by vendors.

There are ALOT of "girls weekend out" groups shopping, shopping and more shopping. One of the few issues is finding a specific vendor or item, the maps are hard to follow if you are looking for a booth number or vendor by name.

We choose to walk which was cool but, you can not get to all the lights. Next time we will have to do the driving experience to see some of the things we missed. It would be cool if the path had arrows to follow as it's kind of a free for all. It was hard with so many ppl there, and they were stopping and don't keep moving or walk at you and wont move. They should have lanes to make the experience more jolly! Awesome idea for an awesome cause though

We heard about the Rotary Winter Wonderland Christmas light display both in the media and from…read morepeople we know. This is the sixth season. We learned that they how have over 1 million lights covering a big part of the Wildwood Zoo in Marshfield. It started this year in mid November. New Year's Eve is the last night. We decided to check it out. The part of me that has seen some artful light displays says give it 4 stars. That's because some parts of the display consist of some decorated trees. And some displays are fairly static and two dimensional. But the explosion and variety of lights over a large area is impressive. Some displays are fun and whimsical. A few are quite dynamic. We noticed that one zoo animal was pacing its cage: the mountain lion. So the kid in me says: Five Stars! This is a nonprofit event. Attendees are asked to bring some nonperishable items for the local food shelves.
