    What a great place. We went on a Sunday night and it wasn't crowded, but missed the Friday night fireworks. We had been planning on going to Bentlyville again this year but I'm glad we came here instead. The atmosphere is grand but quaint at the same time. Parking was plentiful and free. The entire property is set on a lake and Big Rick Creek. In the summer it's an RV Park and event venue, so there are cabins to stay in over night after seeing the lights, or rent a dome tent for the evening. You can see they have moved a lot of earth through landscaping here to give you the feel you are a long way from anywhere. They do have drive through times for family members who just can't do the walk. There are 2 bars on site as well as other locations for non-alcoholic and adult beverages. The food truck area has a large fire pit and a heated garage with a bar to keep warm, listen to live music and watch football. The barn is set up as another warming location with a bar, lounge space and retail craft sales upstairs. So if you came on a really cold night, no worries there are places to warm up and other bonfire locations on the walking route. Santa does stop by but we missed him this night. We did see the Abominable Snowman who was missing Yukon Cornelius. The small sledding hill was a hit for the kids and some adults, with an abundance of provided sleds. What is preventing me from a 5 Star review? The $20 per person entry fee which I could see it if they doing fireworks every night, but other nights of the week should have a reduced price. $20 for adults $15 for Seniors or Veterans $15 ages 4-12 Wed nights $8 Free 3 a under Tractor/Train rides $8 They do a great job here and if you're not turned off by the price don't miss it.

    Warming by the fire!

    Flat out 10/10 experience! Order your tickets online, pull up.... Show your code and park! Super fast! Super easy! Parking: I'm slightly handicapped (in a boot for another few weeks). Parking guys called MITCH, who made my evening perfect! He delivered us to the bar (in the back of the grounds) and showed us how to work our way back towards the parking lot. And if I got too tired, he'd come pick me up. We walked quite a bit (it was a bit bumpy... but I made it) and sure enough... Mitch picked us up and delivered me back to my car. There are fabulous drinks and eats in / around the barn, and fabulous crafts and treats upstairs. The picture opportunities are amazing! We stayed for the fireworks on a Friday night! Get yourself a hot bevy, sit by the fire... and enjoy! We didn't get the train ride... and kinda wished we had! The train was super cute! Overall... it was the perfect distance from Mpls to feel like we got out a bit... and it was an absolutely wonderful experience!!

    The characters are a fun addition to the light displays.

    We had a wonderful visit just what we needed for some holiday joy. We enjoyed the vendors in the barn. Smoreland was a perfect treat! The staff was very nice and we had a wonderful evening. The nostalgia of Christmas is alive and well at this magical place.

    It was so cold and still yet so much fun. Sliding and sharing a bucket of fresh hot mini donuts and a great fireworks show were memorable.

This trail was really cool, a mesmerizing trail, illuminated by over 10,00 0 intricately carved jack-o-lanterns! The trail was a Half-Mile long so it is not too long, we had fun and an enjoyable evening of pumpkin mania and seeing faces on pumpkins we've never seen before. Free parking.

Walking in, I made a bee line for the little coffee house after the drive from St. Paul out to Wyoming. It was good, and I was on a mission to find the funnel cake food truck. It's been a minute, and since I didn't make it to the fair this year, I was determined. We got the cookie monster, funnel cake topped with Oreo and Chips Ahoy cookies, chocolate drizzle and whipped cream. Pretty sure I had a week's worth of caloric intake, even with splitting it, and I didn't care. Next, we headed over to the apple launcher area. At first I couldn't see where the workers were, but the building is set back a bit. We had a blast launching apples at the farm equipment and barrels. We walked over to the pumpkin patch trailer area and had a great time picking our pumpkins. I immediately grabbed a pretty pink one. I was glad they had little wheelbarrows for us to transport our pumpkins as we continued walking around. Before we headed out, we checked out the farm animals and the gift shop. I loved the variety of jams, pickles, and salsas. I grabbed the blueberry jalapeno salsa, cherry jam, apple butter and dill pickles. I've had a chance to bake with the apple butter and it's delicious! Overall, a great time and something for everyone!

    I attended the inaugural Eaux Claires Festival, curated by Justin Vernon of Bon Iver, and it has…read morealready earned it spot as an annual must-do event in my book. It was affordable (~$90 for 2 full days), and within a good driving range where you feel like you're embarking out of the Twin Cities, but you're not really going too far. It's a fun state of mind that's easy on the mileage. I'll get right to the point. My favorite sets: Bon Iver, Sylvan Esso, Policia, Doomtree, Lizzo. There were plenty of porta potties, which were also kept clean and stocked. The scenery was just dreamy - rolling hills, trails through the trees, light-up color-changing forests, and cool art installations. Depending on the times of the sets, I was able to grab drinks at the right time without crazy lines. I loved the local artists and stores that were in the "village" there. I think each of my friends and I ended up buying something. Some cons though: the food, or lack there of. There was like 20,000 people and like 10 vendors. Lots of people waited in lines over an hour long, only for the vendors to run out of food. A lot of the merch sold out quick too. And the crowd leaving at the end of the last set was not managed well, because thousands of people were forced down this one narrow roped off path.

    Improvements The first of hopefully many Eaux Claires…read morefestivals, they definitely had some kinks to work out. The first night food ran out and wait lines were 20 minutes or more. Water stations were spaced throughout but only in the main areas and not in the second staging area by the Dells. With some miscommunication on what could be brought into the campsites and festival, lots of folks had to throw out glass bottles and blankets. I hope the communication around camp ground and festival rules is made clear next time. Positives The music itself however was phenomenal. It was amazing having so many folks in one space and a wide variety of music at that. My favorites were Bon Iver, Lizzo, Poliçia, The Staves, and Charles Bradley. I loved the collaborations and how many folks were new to the music festival scene. The bathrooms were also kept extremely clean with the company cleaning bathrooms out at least once a day. A saving grace given the reputation most port-a-potties have. Art installations! Who knew how great they would go with music. Well...the organizers did. It was amazing that the shirt printing was done in Eau Claire and a lot of the artists were Midwest based. I almost wished there had been more art. It was great to see visuals while waiting for the next set to begin. I hope they bring this back for next year. Overall a great lineup and festival. Will attend again if planned.

It has soooo much potential since it's not as enormous as the other summer block parties, but this year was more of a three-star experience. I hope they learn some things this year and really knock it out of the park next year. I don't clearly remember the first year of the Lyn Lake Fest, but last year, it was packed, it was easy-ish to get a beer, Har Mar Superstar killed it. This year (year three), it felt kind of empty and nothing grabbed my attention enough to stick around for very long. The beer "garden"/parking lot was full, but not the street, at least not when I was there around 4-5 p.m. Plenty of cute dogs though. The local lineup on the mainstage was awesome this year (Koo Koo Kangaroo, Black Blondie, Peter Wolf Crier, Haley Bonar, Heiruspecs headlining), but I think they could have done without the second stage. One band was playing on that northernmost stage with almost no people paying attention. I felt bad for them. The food options were improved this year, with the Chef Shack and Magic Bus Cafe on-site with the Lyn-Lake restaurants. Heidi's also had some burger specials specifically for the event. Summit had their beer truck out and I also saw someone with a to-go Bloody Mary. I never figured out where it came from though. Damn. Lots of other Lyn-Lake and local businesses had booths, like Nice Ride, Hair Police, The Loft Salon, some crafters selling cute jewelry and other odds and ends. Both salons were doing feather extensions. Maybe that should have been discussed among the salons before go-time, because they were just a couple of tents away from each other. And what was up with the poodles (with NEON-dyed fur, the poor things) being groomed right there in the middle of it all? There were little balls of pink dog fur blowing in the wind blocks away. Gross. Absurdly gross.

    Zimmermans annual "Wild West Days" is held every year, rain or shine, at a public park off Main…read moreStreet. The theme of course as the name suggests, is a olden days western theme, with A parade, soap box car derby races, All weekekend long carnival, talent show, petting zoo, camel and pony rides, Fireworks and much more. In a small town where everyone knows almost everyone, and they are all busy with the family life and children and such things like that, It is a nice way for the community to get together and overall have a great time. Put together anually by the Zimmerman Civic Club, It is a great 3-4 days of family fun, games, carnival food, and quality time. With a Kareoke contest/Bar/Bowling Alley right across the street as well, It makes for a good time for all ages. The pony rides are suprisingly cheap, we let our daughter on one and i think it was only 5 or 10 bucks and it was actually a pretty decently long ride. The camel rides I believe were 20 dollars and lasted quite a while too. Maybe when our daughter is a little bigger, we will let her on there. Of course, carnivals nowdays are much more expensive than they used to be, with tickets for rides now being charged at $1.25 a piece (Insane!) and carnies trying to scam you outta money left and right throughout the place. So thats kind of a Debbie-downer, plus the greasy, fattening (delicious) food being no less than $3.50 really takes a toll on the sanity of ones self not to mention, the size of ones wallet as well. The parade is insane, the streets are packed and that, unlike everything else besides the petting zoo, is free. Its very very hard to find parking though during this weekend. And the traffic waits on 169 and especially in town can sometimes cause you to rip out your hair. But all in all, it is a fun weekend, for adults and kids alike.

Baker is location in Centuria, WI. The last census for Centuria listed a population of 948. The day we visited, I bet most of the town was there! Baker Orchard is set up a little different than any orchard that we have visited. There are a couple of small parking areas on their land which is very scenic and surrounded by trees. Then across the street there is a large field that holds much more parking. This is where we parked. You then take a short walk from the field, across the street and down a path to where all the fun is. Its kind of enchanting especially on cool crisp Fall day. The day that we attended they were also hosting an art festival. There were additional venders with food and items. The first we noticed was a small sitting area around a fire pit. I love the smell of a wood fire outside. The only thing that would have made that better is if I had some hotdogs and stick! One thing we really liked about Baker is how open the Orchard is. Other orchards we have visited, everything is inside a building. At Baker the apples, cider and some food was set up on the porch. The lady that helped us was very friendly and allowed us to sample several apples including one special to their orchard. We picked up plenty of goodies. One tip for visitors. Bring a bag to help carry your goods. It helps when you find more than you can carry with your own hands. There are tours available, pick your own apples, hiking trails and more. One of the more beautiful and scenic orchards that we have visited.
