-An amazing theater experience
Wednesday: 12:00 PM - 10:00 PM Theaters
Third Avenue PlayWorks inspires community connections and sparks dialogue through wide-ranging professional theatre. We envision a Wisconsin where everyone, regardless of background, social, and economic status, has access to cutting-edge theatre. We see a future where TAP is a center for cultural production and community connection, where everyone, no matter their background (cultural, ethnic, socio-economic status, gender expression, etc.), is welcome and affirmed. We hold fast to the “Wisconsin Idea” and will not rest until we have a meaningful impact on everyone in our state. TAP strives to be recognized among the leading arts organizations in the Upper Midwest. We are a home for Wisconsin artists, audiences, and for everyone who visits us. Welcome! See more..
- 5.0 Schartner's Farm Market (66 reviews)
-Great roadside stop
Flea & Street Markets
We stopped by Schartners at the recommendation of one of the owners of Valmy Happy Hour. Their pies came highly recommended. Get there early. Our first visit was later in the day and a number of the fresh items were already gone or picked over. We picked up some local items and made a mental note to come back. On our next trip, on our way out of town, the parking lot was full and so was the bakery case. They had several cherry pies and I appreciate they came in various sizes. We also picked up some bratwurst too and love that they have cooler bags to keep our stuff fresh. The pie we picked up was a housewarming gift for a friend on our way home. We dug into it and it was delicious. This comes from someone that isn't a huge fan of pie. If these were available on the regular, I'd be in trouble. See more..
