Join the #448WATASummer Staycation Challenge and Make the Most of Wisconsin Summer
Wisconsin summers are nothing short of magical—bursting with dairy breakfasts, county fairs, flower farms, roadside stands, live music, and ice cream cones that melt faster than you can eat them. This year, the Wisconsin Agricultural Tourism Association (WATA) is turning all that sunshine and good fun into a summer bucket list: the #448WATASummer Staycation Challenge!
What’s the Challenge?
Visit the following:
✅ 4 Dairy Breakfasts – Start your mornings on the farm with fresh pancakes, squeaky cheese curds, and a side of sunshine. Find a dairy breakfast online!
✅ 4 County Fairs or Festivals – From Ferris wheels to funnel cakes, Wisconsin knows how to throw a celebration.
✅ 8 Agricultural Tourism Destinations – Think strawberry picking, lavender fields, goat yoga, creamery tours, wineries, sunflower walks, corn mazes, and more!
How to Participate
? Get out there! Explore Wisconsin’s rich agricultural landscape.
? Post to Win Prizes: Snap photos of your adventures. Whether you’re sipping cider or petting a goat, we want to see it! Use the hashtag #448WATASummer on Facebook or Instagram to be entered into weekly prize drawings.
? When: The challenge runs now through Labor Day (Monday, September 1st), so there’s plenty of time to roam.
Why It Matters
This challenge isn’t just about having fun (though there’s plenty of that). It’s about supporting local farms, rural communities, and the small businesses that keep Wisconsin’s agricultural heritage alive. Plus, it’s a great excuse to skip the airport lines and enjoy an epic staycation right in your own backyard.
So grab your sunscreen, hit the road, and let the adventures begin. Your next prize-winning photo (and favorite family memory) is waiting.
