Had fun visiting and shopping some of the participating 32 businesses of the Fall Harvest Trail Shopping & Dining Event 2024 today. Some of the highlights of the day included the cool art at Hidden Hollow ART in New Holstein, the cheese and goats at LaClare Cheese Shoppe and Creamery in Malone, and an awesome pizza at Jim & Jodi’s place, Schumacher's Shanty Pizza and Sandwich Pub, in downtown Stockbridge. Looking forward to the 2025 event!
