Finally, a Wisconsin guidebook that is as much fun to read as it is practical to use. Incredibly detailed, but with a narrative that captures the true spirit of people and places in the Badger State. The chapter on Green Bay and Packer games is priceless. The author doesn't bother perpetuating all the easy stereotypes (such as cheeseheads) and instead wades neck deep into the local culture, describing the traditions of Monroe Cheese Days and Okotberfest in LaCrosse, the tranquility of the North Woods, and solitude of Door County lighthouse keepers before the days of fudge shops and boutiques.

Does Wisconsin justice. Just a great, fun read.

Classic Wisconsin Weekends is a superbly presented vacation, travel, and sightseeing guide for enjoying the best that Wisconsin has to offer by way of recreational excursions ranging from birdwatching in the Horicon Marsh, to living it up in the Milwaukee Summerfest, to sampling the cultural extravaganza of the state capitol of Madison. Black-and-white photographs highlight numerous fun and exciting adventures anyone can enjoy on an ordinary weekend, in this wonderful guide packed from cover to cover with tips for lodging, reservations, tourist attraction phone numbers and contact information, and so much more. Highly recommended for anyone in the Wisconsin area looking for a great weekend getaway, Classic Wisconsin Weekends should be available to every family and through every community library in the state!
