Hi, everyone! Ellie here.
Thank you to everyone who responded to my first newsletterâIâm definitely feeling the Wisconsin love. I appreciate your warm welcomes and thoughtful suggestions, and Iâll be keeping them in mind as we move forward. If thereâs ever something youâd like to see more of, donât hesitate to send it my way.
Fall is on its way. Each of Wisconsinâs seasons has its charm, but autumn is my favorite. Itâs still warm enough for a walk in a state park, yet cool enough for jeans and a sweater. Growing up, my neighbors hosted an apple cider festival where weâd peel and press apples in a classic wooden press, each kid taking a turn while the adults enjoyed the cider we worked so hard on.
As the season changes, itâs a reminder to slow down and notice whatâs happening around usâboth locally and across the state. Today, weâll take a look at the best autumn drives in Wisconsin.
Thanks again for the love. Hit reply and keep those messages coming!

Take a short road trip this fall to see Wisconsinâs fall colorsâhereâs where to go.
Autumn in Wisconsin is the most colorful time of the year, when tree leaves cycle through brilliant shades of orange, red, yellow, and pink. This is also the best season to hop in the car for a little road trip. Even if itâs just for the afternoon, timing it to leaf peeping can be a huge thrill. Donât forget to drop by roadside farm stands during your drive for pumpkins, gourds, apples, or cider, as yet another way to celebrate fall. Read on to learn more about Wisconsinâs nine prettiest drives during autumn.

For dog lovers, our pooches are an integral part of our lives, and for many of us in Wisconsin, so is finding the best beer.
Itâs no surprise that many breweries and beer gardens across the state allow us to enjoy both at the same time. Dogs are becoming increasingly welcome in businesses across the country, so much so that online resources, such as BringFido, compile extensive lists of dog-friendly places.
BringFido lists many restaurants and bars where dogs can go across Wisconsin, but weâve chosen these breweries and beer gardens as ones we think might have special appeal to Badger State beer and dog lovers. They made the list partly because of their locations (a mix of rural and city destinations, spread across Wisconsin), partly because of their popularity with people who love craft beers, and partly because they offer unique environments for dogs, people or both.

Experts said they are seeing a rise in white nationalist movements in Wisconsin and across the country that are disguising themselves as fitness groups.
They are called âActive Clubsâ and present themselves as sporting clubs or fighting clubs focused on brotherhood.
Art Jipson, associate professor of sociology and criminology at the University of Dayton, said they recruit both online and in-person, targeting young, white men using shared interests as tools to gradually introduce and normalize racist ideologies.
âYou add to that the willingness to engage in violence against people of color, LGBTQ people⊠thereâs a clear potential for violence here,â Jipson cautioned.
