Hosting a Summer Party for Graduations, Memorial Day Picnics, and Family Reunions

Memorial Day's almost here and it's time to plan summer parties. Grab the grill, grab the brats, and head for the park. Cooking for a crowd can be as fun as it is easy with the right food. Making the party food easy means nixing the sauces, gravies, and hot casseroles. Instead pack up the fresh fruit salads, and colorful veggie and pasta salads. Serve chips and dips beside the brats, dogs, and buns. Pass out the sodas and beer and everybody has fun!
Sounds too easy? Worried that simplicity means compromising quality? Well in some places that may be so. Some places are burdened with mediocre food, but not here in Wisconsin. America's dairy land is known for its farm-fresh food. Wisconsinites know where to get high-quality meats and how to grill them. Wisconsin micro-breweries keep the beer fresh and flowing. And no dessert is easier to serve a summer party crowd than sweet and colorful, Wisconsin-bakery cookies.
Wisconsinites have been enjoying their gourmet food at outdoor parties long before either it or they started showing up in chic, 5-star restaurants. Wisconsin brats, wieners, burgers, and chicken breasts are perfect grilling food. Rounds of prize-winning, Wisconsin cheese, fruit, wine, sliced summer sausage on crackers, and a homemade fruit pie define the classic summer picnic. Our Wisconsin food may not look fancy, but neither do we. Spend a little time with both of us and you'll recognize the fine-qualities shining through our unassuming appearance. Enjoy the best of Wisconsin and relax in the summer fun.
