Along the Ad Routes


By Mike Reilly-mreilly@thedodgevillechronicle.com

We had a pretty good family Easter Dinner Sunday at Dodgeville's Country
Kitchen. There were 14 of us there - Pat's kids and grandkids and me! After
eating, niece Kelly and her kids, along with Pat and me, went to Harris Park
and sat and talked for awhile. The kids played on the new playgrond equipment
on the north side and we even had a basketball game on the new courts.
Kelly was amazed at how good the playground equipment was and she was
very impressed with the basketball courts. They live in Waunakee, a city that
is still growing by leaps and bounds! In fact, the high school will soon be
competing in Division 1.

The 1st Annual Brews 2 Choose Tour is happening Friday, April 28 from
8:00 a.m. - 5:00 p.m.
You can fill your beer mugs and tempt your taste buds with a variety of
craft beers and cheeses from right here in Wisconsin on the Brews 2 Choose
Tour! Join us for a Friday evening of music, door prizes, beer and cheese,
and food at various businesses on the North end of town. Leave your keys
and vehicle parked safely because transportation is provided from local hotels
and designated parking lots to this event and each of the stops on the tour.
More information will be provided at: www.grilledcheesewisconsin.com.
You must be 21 or older to participate and ID is REQUIRED at the check-in
table.
Come hungry! Come thirsty!

The 6th Annual Wisconsin Grilled Cheese Championship will be held Saturday,
April 29 from 11:00 a.m.-4:00 p.m. at Harris Park.
It's a free event!
Join us for this exciting and fun family-friendly event, which features
Grilled Cheese sandwiches and highlights the tasty cheese industry of Wisconsin!
General admission is FREE, however, if you wanted to experience
the competition as a VIP, it was recommended to purchase VIP tickets (these
sold out rather quickly). In addition to watching the competition, there will
be free cheese samples, vendors and exhibitors, live music, children's activities
and food trucks. For adults over 21, there is a beer and wine beverage
cart. This event is held indoors, however, when the weather is nice, there is
a playground and park right outside the door.
*****
The Grilled Cheese Championship brings some 4,000 people to our area
from states all over the U.S. The event can only be held here as long as we
have volunteers to help out that day! We don't want it to go to Madiosn, so
if you can help out on that Saturday (or Friday set-up), contact the Dodgeville
Area Chamber of Commerce office, please!
