Activities for You and Your Dog!🐾

One of the best parts of having a dog is the constant adventures you get to have with them. Walks around the neighborhood, car rides around town, or maybe trips to visit a friend… a dog just has a way of pushing you off the couch and out of the house.  If you’re looking to push beyond the neighborhood for your next adventure, you’re in luck! Wonderful Wisconsin has loads of great dog-friendly adventure spots just calling to you and your four-legged best friend. Because we love dogs, and Wisconsin, we thought we’d round up some of our favorite dog-friendly spots around the Badger State.

It happens to the best of us: we plan the perfect fishing trip with friends, load up our tackle, poles, life jackets, live bait from The Store, change of socks… all the good stuff.

Show Support for Local Animal Shelters and Humane Societies!🐾

We LOVE animals and we LOVE the communities we call home. This month, we’re excited to support both through our annual Buy A Bone promotion! April 16th through May 21st, you can help raise much-needed funding for all of our furry friends at local animal shelter or humane societies in your area when you visit The Store and buy paper bones for $1, $5, and $10. Buy one (or more!) and sign your bone to show your support. Psst – You can even get creative and write the name of a pet! 😉 The purchased bones will be displayed inside The Store to celebrate the generosity and kindness of our Guests. ALL funds raised from paper bone sales go directly to the local shelter or humane societies in your area, and we’re not kitten! What could be more purrfect? 🐾

Wisconsin’s Official State Fruit

As the nation’s leading producer of cranberries, we harvest more than 60% of the country’s crop right here in our home state. Growing across 20 counties in Wisconsin, the 21,000 acres of sand and peat marshes in both Central and Northern Wisconsin create the perfect growing conditions for those little red berries.
