It is no secret that everyone who is from Wisconsin knows they are bound to see some interesting things no matter where they go. Even those who are not from Wisconsin know that if they ever make a trip there, they will experience some “different” things. Each new discoveries is followed by “only in Wisconsin.”
So, Only in Wisconsin…
Will you see more horses and buggies in smaller towns than cars.
Will you watch a farm tractor speed passed cars down a highway,
but also watch some that are slower than molasses.
Will you see bars packed with at 9am on a Saturday morning,
and have lots of your food made with beer like it is a food group.
Will you know exactly what a Spotted Cow is.
And you cannot ignore the fact that we have our own catch phrase “Drink Wisconsibly.”
Because although we are basically the drinking capital of the country, we do it safely.
Only in Wisconsin…
Is there as many cheese factories as there is bars in some towns,
which will make you crave all cheeses all the time (sometimes even wear it).
Will you be obsessed with the Packers and the Badgers and no one else!
Like you almost only own green and gold and/or red and white.
Will you enjoy driving down back roads for fun,
and soaking up that fresh Wisconsin farm air.
Is stopping for cows crossing as common as stopping for deer.
We might as well possess “cow crossing” signs as a warning for newcomers.
Only in Wisconsin…
Would people get up at 4am just to hunt and fish because the opener are holidays.
Is it socially acceptable to wear boots, hats, or jeans on any occasion.
Oh and you cannot forget about camo and blaze orange either.
Are you likely to pass a mailbox in the shape of a keg or painted like American flags.
Will you experience boiling temperatures on Sunday, and freezing ones come Monday.
Is driving through snow still going the over speed limit everyone’s special skill.
Have you heard the saying “anything North of Highway 8,”
and been a part of something that must stay there.
If you ever have the chance to visit Wisconsin, (and you have not already, or do not live here,) do not be surprised by some of the things you see or hear that are not on this list.Take note of what you see and hear, because it might make for a great laugh or story later on...!
