Chillin’ Out in Wisconsin: Barron, Menomonie, Sauk County and Land O’ Lakes

Overview

This Fall and Winter on Discover Wisconsin, Eric Paulsen takes us on a journey to four different Wisconsin communities for some chilly fun. As the shades of green morph into burnt oranges and blazing golds throughout the Wisconsin landscape, people button up their sweaters and head outside to enjoy the auburn-painted scenery. We head to Barron, Wisconsin where the Fall decor awaits bedazzled spectators. We begin at Country Lane Market and Pantry with owner Ezra Bender. Local pantry items as well as meats, cheeses and fudge line the shelves of the quaint store. Eric explores the Thursday farmer’s market held on the grounds of Country Market. With over one hundred art and food vendors, the hardest part of our day is picking between brick oven fired pizza and Navajo Fry Bread tacos! The Barron Fall festival brings us downtown where we enjoy live music and hand-crafted art. Lastly, we end our trip with a romantic evening of music and spirit tasting at the newly built Church Barn.
