Uniquely Wisconsin | Adams County

Campfire Conversation:Michelle Gormican-Thompson from the Wisconsin Counties Association joins Eric, Susan, and Josh in TheCabin to share stories about Adams County. After some fast (and, in our opinion, interesting) facts aboutAdams County, we dive into a variety of things you can do, see, and experience there. From an Artsperspective we discuss the Sand County Players, which has provided a tradition of community theater inthe county since 1977. They have produced over 100 shows as they provide financial and resourcesupport for numerous youth and community arts activities. Under this umbrella, the Home Town RomePlayers also regularly perform for seniors in Rome itself, within the county. The conversation moves tothe natural beauty and landscape of Adams County. A major topic is golf, with the massive Sand Valleybecoming an international destination. Its history only dates back 15-20 years, and we cover how it wasdeveloped and what makes its three main courses – so far – so special. Meanwhile, nearby Northern Bayis the only replica course in the state, with echoes of Augusta National to beckon golfers. From a foodstandpoint, we dive into Heartland Farms, a multi-family business since 1873 that continues to churnout some of the best chipping and fresh market potatoes in the nation. Their farm sprawls across 27,000acres, including the original 80 acres from 150 years ago. Their embrace of sustainable practices, solartechnology, and the latest irrigation methods generate 120 semis’ worth of potatoes that can ship outper day! Adams County embraces its farms and small communities while offering plenty of outdoorrecreation for visitors, a topic discussed with Adams County Clark Liana Glavin.
