Veteran's Day is just under a week away, but we think that they're worth celebrating beyond November 11th.
Visit Rome has the privilege of hosting the “Working Warriors” traveling exhibit from the Wisconsin Veterans Museum in Madison through the month of November. The exhibit will be on display now through the end of the month and is available to view during our operating hours of 9:00 AM-5:00 PM Monday through Friday.

Water. Aqua. H2O.
However you refer to it, there's no denying that it serves as the lifeblood of Rome. After all, what's Rome without its four lakes or all the fun we have when we play in and on it? As precious and abundant of a resource it may be, it is very important to keep our waterways clean and chemical-free today and for years to come. One group that continues to advocate and educate about this topic is the 14 Mile Watershed Alliance--a citizen-led group of representatives from each of our lakes, Adams County, the DNR, and other cooperators such as the Petenwell & Castle Rock Stewards (PACRS) and Tri-Lakes Management District.
Thirsty for more knowledge? Check out our latest blog, filled with information and tips to do YOUR part in keeping Rome's water sources wonderful...

Every day it seems to be getting darker earlier, and the time change this weekend certainly added to that. Allow us (or better, The Tri-Norse Ski Club and Winter Park) to shed a little "candle"light on the situation!
Come out to the Tri Norse Winter Park on Friday, November 15th from 6-8 PM and enjoy a candlelit hike around the grounds. If you've been on our candlelight hikes during the winter, this is a nice in-between where it's not too chilly but still feels like fall.
Even if you get a chill, warm up in the Chalet with some free hot cocoa, provided by Visit Rome

HAPPY HALLOWEEN, ROME!
It was such a "treat" to see everyone that came and participated in the Kids Halloween Party last Saturday. We're not playing "tricks" on you—we estimated that over 400+ costumed kiddos came through the event and it was our biggest one yet.
Thank you to all those involved in spreading some Halloween cheer throughout the Town Center!

Most ATV/UTV trails seem harmless enough in the daylight, but what happens when goblins, ghosts, and skeletons take over at night!?
Join the Monroe Prairie ATV Club for their annual Halloween Hunt this Saturday from 7-10 PM (registration starting at 5:30) at Buske's Bighorn Bar & Grill. It is $10 for members and $15 for non-members.
Bring your spotlights and flashlights and search the trails for Halloween items; the more you find, the better your chances of winning a cash prize.

Almost 75% of military work is considered “non-combat,” yet it does not detract from the honor of being a veteran. From beauticians to dentists, cooks to mechanics, photographers to police, these roles play a key role in every-day military operations.

Visit Rome is lucky to host the “Working Warriors” traveling exhibit from the Wisconsin Veterans Museum in Madison. The exhibit will be on display through the end of November during our open hours (9:00 AM-5:00 PM Monday through Friday). Come by our office sometime in the next month to view these incredible photographs and read some of the stories from the often overlooked parts of military life.

Can you name all of the characters featured?

We are approaching "peak season" in the color changing of the leaves, so it's perfect timing that the Tri-Norse Colorama is happening tomorrow at the Tri Norse Winter Park. Come enjoy the sight of autumn leaves around the property and from the top of the 55M ski jump. You can even see the fall colors of FOUR counties from the peak!
It is a hike, but never fear! You can enjoy a courtesy UTV shuttle to the top of the hill if you'd prefer! (sponsored by Sand Valley)
Once you're done, do a little shopping with area vendors and enjoy a bowl of soup or chili while listening to some live music at the chalet!
We hope to see you tomorrow at Tri-Norse!

No time for tricks, just treats! The annual Rome Kids' Halloween Party is coming up on October 26th from 1-3 PM in the Rome Town Center. We're already getting excited about all the fun in store, and we hope you are too! Whether you come for the music and photo booth, the petting zoo animals or balloon animals, or even just for the "trick or treating" portion around the square, it's sure to be SPOOKTACULAR and GHOULISHLY great!

November 23rd is the OFFICIAL "Eat A Cranberry" day, but we think that cranberries should be celebrated all year round!

-The "Cranberry Highway" of Wisconsin spans almost 50 miles from Wisconsin Rapids to Warrens, passing through Pittsville, Nekoosa, and Tomah. This time of year is perfect for taking a drive and watching the harvesting process, as cranberry harvest season takes place between late September and October.

-Cranberries got their name from cranes, or at least how the flowers resemble the head of a crane (hence, crane-berry became cranberry)

-If you've ever joined us on one of our "Traversing the Trails" hikes, you've likely had a sample of Wisconsin cranberries! We get our trail mix from 45 Mercantile in Wisconsin Rapids, who specializes in all sorts of local cranberry goodies!

Whether you love to see the sea of red, taste the sour and sweet treats, or enjoy cranberries for all they are, we're wishing you a happy cranberry season!

Are you in the Halloween "spirit" yet? We have two more spooky-season events to highlight in the Rome area for you (and all your ghoul-friends) to attend.

First, the Lester Library will be hosting a "Paranormal Wisconsin" program this Saturday at 10:30 AM. Come hear tales of ghosts, UFOs, mysterious creatures and the unexplained from Chad Lewis, a researcher/author/lecturer who has spent 30+ years searching the world for these types of stories and legends. This program will focus specifically on the "weird and wonderful" things in our state and is open to all ages (though we encourage parents/guardians to decide if a spooky event is appropriate for your child).

On both Saturday the 19th and 26th, attend the "Spirit Walk" at Historic Point Basse in Nekoosa from 6-8 PM. Walk around the historic buildings to meet many of the former residents of Point Basse and citizens of the era. As you explore, expect the spirits to emerge from their surroundings to tell you about themselves and the time in which they lived.
$5 for Adults, $2 for Students

Just a reminder that this month's "Traversing the Trails" will be on Sunday, 8/4 starting at 10:00 AM at Sand Valley! (We normally have them on Fridays, so we're switching it up a bit...) We'll be hiking the Ridge Trail, so remember your water bottles and good shoes for going up and down those sand dunes. We'll see you on Sunday!

Dare to Explore Dyracuse

For those who like to live the fast life, the motocross/supercross tracks may be calling your name. Prefer to enjoy the scenery? The 10+ miles of trails may be more your speed, or perhaps a nice spin through the sand bowl... Lucky for you, there's no need to trek across town to get the best of both worlds, Dyracuse Recreational Park has it all! Situated on over 700 acres and ran by the Town, this little piece of motorsports heaven welcomes riders at any stage and ability as well as all their family members and fans. If we've already got your attention (or if you want to try the trails for yourself), we encourage you to check out the Dyracuse Recreational Park website and page for the most up-to-date information.

Summertime in Rome

The smell of freshly groomed greens. The slap of waves on your face. Live music at every turn. Fireflies and fireworks dancing across your eyes. The taste of kombucha, maple syrup, eggrolls or any Farmers Market goodies you've found. All of these and more give you a true sense of summertime in Rome; experience it TODAY!

Well, Mother Nature thinks that April Fool's Day is April Fool's WEEK...😉 Due to weather conditions this week, we'll be rescheduling the "Traversing the Trails" to next week (April 12) at 10:00 AM. The hike will still take place on the Van Kuren Recreational Trail. We hope to see you there, and keep your fingers crossed for sunny weather to dry up the trail! ☀️

Calling all fans of Trivial Pursuit, Jeopardy aficianados, and random fact finders! If you're looking for a fun weekly event with little to no cost, why not sign up for a trivia night in Rome? (We even have two coming up this week!) This is a perfect low-commitment event for those who seek to test their knowlege on sports, pop culture, history, and more. Even if you don't think you'll do well, we still encourage you to participate (and who knows? You may surprise yourself with how much you DO know) and invite your friends along. Planning ahead? Check out our calendar for the latest updates on trivia in the area. https://www.visitromewi.com/schedule
