It's a Wisconsin thing

After living in this state for a few years now, I've decided I should get to know it better. I want to explore and hang out with some cows. I think it's actually a really beautiful state. Here are some websites that tell all.

Not pronounced Wes-consin.

How do you say Chequamegon or Oconomowoc?? What about mayor Dave Cieslewicz? I must say there are words and places and full conversations I haven't had because I don't know how to pronounce these strange words.

Did you know that as America's dairy state, our 1.3 million cows actually produce a years supply of cheese for 86 million people? How much cheese is that? I eat a lot of cheese.

We lead the country in cranberries and ginseng? Who knew?
We have the nation's largest muskie (a fish), the largest waterpark, and the largest farmer's market, plus the world's largest one day fish fry. Now that's something to be proud of. Oh, don't forget the world's largest display of prepared mustard.

???!!

And what about those Packers? Since Bret Favre isn't going to retire, we can all breathe a sigh of relief (another name I've never pronounced right). That was front page news in these parts. I can sleep at night now.

Did I mention how much I love football?
All and all, it's a strange state. I must say, but with many virtues and beautiful places.
