It exists because the farms joining us NOW are doing more than buying advertisingā€”theyā€™re helping us build and test something we hope will benefit local farms AND local families for years. \n\n\n\nAnd hereā€™s the part Iā€™m especially excited aboutā€¦ \n\n\n\nThis isnā€™t going to be a random directory sitting by itself on the website. \n\n\n\nImagine youā€™re checking RuralNEWfamilies.com because the kids want something to do Saturday. \n\n\n\nYou find a festival\, fair\, park or other adventureā€¦ \n\n\n\nThen you discover thereā€™s a sunflower field nearby. \n\n\n\nAnd thereā€™s a farm stand five minutes down the road where you can grab sweet corn\, eggs and fresh baked goods ā€“ Roadside Stands make the BEST Road Snacks for the way home. (Whatā€™s your favorite ā€œweirdā€ road snack? \n\n\n\nTHAT is what weā€™re building. \n\n\n\n Local Family FUN \n\n\n\n Local Farm EXPERIENCES \n\n\n\n Local FOOD \n\n\n\nOne website helping families turn an ordinary Saturday into an entire rural adventureā€”while putting more visitors and dollars into the farms and small businesses that make our communities special. \n\n\n\nWeā€™re not done yet. \n\n\n\nBut weā€™re close enough now that we need MORE farms\, stands and experiences to help us finish this right. \n\n\n\n Have a farm stand OR farm experience? NOW is the time to get in while weā€™re still offering the introductory rate. \n\n\n\n Donā€™t have one? You can still help tremendously: tag a farm\, farmer\, roadside stand\, orchard\, pumpkin patch\, U-Pick or farm experience we should know about! \n\n\n\nEspecially one that fills one of the gaps above. \n\n\n\nLetā€™s build something that makes it easier to keep Northeast Wisconsin families happy\, exploringā€¦and FED. \n\n\n\nFind Your Local Farm Stand Guide Here (sign up here too) URL:https://ruralnewfamilies.com/event/%f0%9f%a7%91%f0%9f%8c%be-farm-stand-guide-introductory-rate-sign-up/2026-09-02/ ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://ruralnewfamilies.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/08/Farm-Guide-Social-Post.png ORGANIZER;CN="Rural Northeast Wisconsin Families":MAILTO:mariev@ruralnewfamilies.com END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Chicago:20260901T190000 DTEND;TZID=America/Chicago:20260901T210000 DTSTAMP:20260622T025124Z CREATED:20260622T003150Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260622T025124Z UID:10016345-1788289200-1788296400@ruralnewfamilies.com SUMMARY:šŸ›©ļøšŸ§° Learn\, Build\, Fly Build Night DESCRIPTION:This event allows students of all ages to learn about airplanes\, build them and even gives opportunities to fly in small aircraft.

Because male cats only need one copy to be orange while females generally need it on both X chromosomes\, ginger boys are much more common than ginger girls. \n\n\n\nšŸÆ And look closely at your orange kittyā€¦ \n\n\n\nOrange cats are tabbies\, meaning youā€™ll find some type of tabby pattern in that coat ā€” stripes\, swirls or spots. \n\n\n\nAnd many have the classic little ā€œMā€ marking on their forehead. \n\n\n\nWhich brings us to the folkloreā€¦ \n\n\n\nāœØ THE LEGEND OF THE TABBYā€™S ā€œMā€ \n\n\n\nThere are several old stories explaining that mysterious marking. \n\n\n\nOne Christian legend says that when baby Jesus wouldnā€™t stop crying\, a tabby cat climbed into the manger\, curled beside him and began to purr. Mary gratefully stroked the catā€™s forehead\, leaving an ā€œMā€ behind. \n\n\n\nAnother legend from Islamic tradition associates the marking with Muezza\, a beloved cat traditionally connected with the Prophet Muhammad. \n\n\n\nAre those the scientific explanation? \n\n\n\nAbsolutely not. šŸ˜‚ \n\n\n\nBut humans have apparently been making up stories about their cats for a VERY long time. \n\n\n\nšŸ§” And then thereā€™s the modern orange-cat legendā€¦ \n\n\n\nIf youā€™ve spent any time on the internet\, youā€™ve probably heard the theory that all orange cats share one brain cell. \n\n\n\nWe cannot confirm this scientifically. \n\n\n\nOrange-cat families are welcome to submit their evidence. šŸ˜‚ \n\n\n\nšŸ“ø AND THAT BRINGS US TO TODAYā€™S ASSIGNMENT! \n\n\n\nWe want to see your GINGER CATS! \n\n\n\nšŸ‘‡ Drop a picture in the comments and introduce us! \n\n\n\nšŸ¾ NamešŸ¾ Boy or girlšŸ¾ Sweet angel or tiny orange menace?šŸ¾ And does your ginger cat currently possess the brain cell? \n\n\n\nNo orange kitty at your house? \n\n\n\nThatā€™s okay ā€” tag someone who has one so we can properly appreciate theirs. šŸ§” \n\n\n\nšŸˆ Happy Ginger Cat Appreciation Day! \n\n\n\nToday\, the orange fur on your clothes is officially festive. šŸ˜‚ URL:https://ruralnewfamilies.com/event/every-day-is-a-holiday-ginger-cat-appreciation-day/ END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Chicago:20260901T000000 DTEND;TZID=America/Chicago:20260901T235959 DTSTAMP:20260331T190057Z CREATED:20260331T190056Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260331T190057Z UID:10013127-1788220800-1788307199@ruralnewfamilies.com SUMMARY:šŸŽ³ Kids Bowl Free DESCRIPTION:Itā€™s that time when families start planning on what theyā€™re going to do for the summer! \n\n\n\nLet Kids Bowl Free help! Each registered child (check each center for age requirements) gets to bowl 2 games free every single day! (Check individual bowling alleys for shoe rental details) all summer long at NO Cost to Parents! (But plan for the concessionsā€¦. my kids LOVE bowling alley food\, just sayinā€™) \n\n\n\nParents\, do you want to bowl with your kids? Then youā€™ll want to check out the Family Pass! This allows parents\, older siblings and babysitters to bowl alongside the registered kids. This is a one-time payment that allows up to 4 adults to bowl 2 games free all summer long\, with your Kids Bowl Free registered children. (You can add the family pass on at any time during the season.) \n\n\n\nHow it works: \n\n\n\n\nLocate a Kids Bowl Free participating location near you (this is the only one covered all summer)\n\n\n\nRegister ā€“ Create your Kids Bowl Free account and register your kids. Decide if the Family Pass is right for your family.\n\n\n\nHave Fun ā€“ Make Memories ā€“ Go Screen-Free ā€” Make New Friendsā€“ Bowl 2 games free every day\, all summer long! \n\n\n\n\nThings to Note: \n\n\n\n\nEach bowling alley determines the times the program is active. Program begins April 30th! You can find the details here when you choose a location near you. Dates and Times will vary! (Iā€™ve seen some start as early as April 30th and as late as June 1st and end between August 30-Sept 2) Iā€™ve seen only 1 with hours available 7 days a week.\n\n\n\nCheck each location for age requirements. Iā€™ve seen them range from 2-18 with some ending as early as 15.\n\n\n\nI found at least 8 participating centers within 60 minutes of Clintonville.\n\n\n\nThe Registration is not transferable between the different bowling centers.

The person in back stands up\, then the next person\, then the next ā€” creating a ā€œSlinky waveā€ through the family. \n\n\n\nšŸ“¹ And if THAT turns into complete chaosā€¦ \n\n\n\nWeā€™d like to remind everyone that video evidence is strongly encouraged. šŸ˜‚ \n\n\n\nšŸ‘‡ NOSTALGIA CHECK! \n\n\n\nDid YOU have a Slinky growing up? \n\n\n\nAnd be honestā€¦ \n\n\n\nšŸ…°ļø It actually walked down the stairsšŸ…±ļø It immediately became hopelessly tangledšŸ…²ļø Both.

Each registered child (check each center for age requirements) gets to bowl 2 games free every single day! (Check individual bowling alleys for shoe rental details) all summer long at NO Cost to Parents! (But plan for the concessionsā€¦. my kids LOVE bowling alley food\, just sayinā€™) \n\n\n\nParents\, do you want to bowl with your kids? Then youā€™ll want to check out the Family Pass! This allows parents\, older siblings and babysitters to bowl alongside the registered kids. This is a one-time payment that allows up to 4 adults to bowl 2 games free all summer long\, with your Kids Bowl Free registered children. (You can add the family pass on at any time during the season.) \n\n\n\nHow it works: \n\n\n\n\nLocate a Kids Bowl Free participating location near you (this is the only one covered all summer)\n\n\n\nRegister ā€“ Create your Kids Bowl Free account and register your kids.

Program begins April 30th! You can find the details here when you choose a location near you. Dates and Times will vary! (Iā€™ve seen some start as early as April 30th and as late as June 1st and end between August 30-Sept 2) Iā€™ve seen only 1 with hours available 7 days a week.\n\n\n\nCheck each location for age requirements. Iā€™ve seen them range from 2-18 with some ending as early as 15.\n\n\n\nI found at least 8 participating centers within 60 minutes of Clintonville.\n\n\n\nThe Registration is not transferable between the different bowling centers.
