There's Plenty of Summer Left

Summertime, lemonade, and vacations...these are all part of what we've come to expect from those delicious three months before fall drops its temps and winter lurks around the corner. The most important of the three has always been that annual vacation: off to grandma's or traipsing through National Parks or the country's major cities have always been favorites. For those of us living in and around Wisconsin, there's one fun-filled city and celebration you might have missed. But, don't fear since you have a couple of weeks to plan your latest sortie into vacationland...in Middleton, Wisconsin.
Yes, that burg somewhat removed from Madison (the "fun" capital of Wisconsin) will host a major summer event on August 7th, and you need to be there. of course, I'm referring to National Mustard Day, celebrated every year by the National Mustard Museum, located in Middleton since 1991. The festivities are many:
hot dogs are free all day ($1 donations to charity are requested), live music performed by the Red Hot Horn Dogs, mustard games (?), and, of course, mustard tastings. Should you raise an eyebrow at that, consider that there are more than 5200 kinds of mustard from 65 countries on display at the museum so this is no fly-by-night operation.
If THAT is not enough to draw you to central Wisconsin in August, there will be featured appearances by the French's Mustard Man AND Oscar Mayer's famous Wienermobile.
This promises to be one event about which you will tell your friends for months so don't miss it.
And be sure to get that photo in front of the Wienermobile for your Christmas card.
