Taliesin and More-Post Event

Ooops, they did it again! Hank & Laura Netzinger and Greg & Cindy Garnett hosted and seamlessly led the best drives and venues that the out skirting towns and meandering roads that surround Madison area can provide. For three days we were dined, wined, ale-d, and awed by the sights, sounds and tastes of the hilly, curvy regions around Middleton, a very pretty, progressive town, as our anchor. Gathering at the Country Inn and Suites, after our 3:00 check in, we first drove a short way to The National Mustard Museum (yes, mustard) to be shocked by viewing thousands of different varieties of mustards from all the USA states and numerous countries. After sampling, we watched an informative film depicting folks in restaurants, festivals and households around the world loving their mustards. Of note is the fact that Canada is a major grower and processor of quality, coveted mustard seeds. Who knew? Next, we drove a bit northward to Waunakee to dine at Rex's Innkeeper; and since it was Wednesday night, many of us chose a delicious featured fish dinner.

See the CALENDAR OF EVENTS! for the complete article.

New Event added to Calander

"Cari and I will go to Baumgartner's shop/deli/ restaurant in Monroe, WI for lunch on October 6 at 11:30 then go for a ride in the hills west of there for an hour or two. Anyone want to join us for this activity? I can't wait for some squeaky-fresh cheese curds!

If you are interested in participating, please contact Jeremy at jzorns@gmail.com. And don't worry, the Packers aren't on until 3:25 so you can do this event and still see most, if not all of the game. And the Bears game? Well, I didn't check.
