It is also famous for it National Mustard Festival. We started the party by dancing on main street to the sweet and tangy sounds of an accordian band.
The free hot-dogs gave energy to the exhausted dancers... although Asher is not sure if he chose the wrong mustard.
We met the famous Duchess of Mustard, who also plays a mean accordian.
A few high fives to a giant walking mustard bottle kept Becca entertained.
After much bribery, Mattias finally let Becca teach him to do a box-step. They waltzed along, and at the end of the dance, Mattias bought his reward in the wonderful chocolate shop on Main St.
We took a tour of the Mustard Museum itself. It hurts your eyes initially with all the yellow in the shop.
One fun activity was mustard painting. For $1, you got a piece of paper, and could use several different coloured bottles of mustard to make a masterpiece. I didn't know some mustard was lime green.
We let them dry on our car before we took them home. The problem was that we forgot to take them out before church the next day... so the car was pretty stinky when we opened the doors. - I was worried we'd all go into church smelling like fermented mustard.
Sylvia finally admitted she was tired, and we had to peel her off a lawn on main street in order to drive back to Stoughton.
It was a party day like none other. I think we'll definately make it a yearly tradition. The combination of the best chocolate malts in Wisconsin, plus the groovy accoridan bands made it a popular show for all ages.
