A beautiful tribute from Thomas Mac. 🤍

Sometimes the best way to honor a songwriter is with a song.

Long live the Queen. Thank you for the music, Dolly.

Wisconsin taverns and live music just go together. 🍻🎶
WAMI friends — tag your favorite Wisconsin music spot and let’s make sure some of these legendary places are represented in the Wisconsin Historical Society’s Tavern Token Project!
Tokens are due August 31. 👇

Have you heard? We are working to source tavern tokens from every county in Wisconsin, all 72 of them, as part of a future exhibition display that explores the state’s famed tavern culture. We are off to a great start but still need more!

Want to make sure your hometown bar or tavern is represented? Send us their tavern token or drink chip and help put your favorite watering hole on the map at the future Wisconsin History Center.

📬 Send your tokens by August 31 to:

Wisconsin Historical Society
Tavern Token Project
816 State Street
Madison, WI 53706

Please note: Tavern tokens submitted to this crowdsourcing effort will become property of the Wisconsin Historical Society. Depending upon the final number of submissions we receive, we may not be able to include all tokens in the exhibition display.

Want to get this opportunity in front of your favorite establishments? Tag and mention them in the comments!

🎡 It's Friday... and that's a BIG DEAL! 😎

Sure, the Wisconsin State Fair has plenty of new things to check out... but some traditions are a BIG DEAL because they're timeless.

🌽 The iconic New Berlin Lions Club roasted corn.
🎡 The biggest Ferris wheel Wisconsin has ever seen.
🎶 Live music around every corner.

Today, D-O-R-E-N-E (yes, she wants you to spell it right! 😄) Dorene Michaels from 96.5 WKLH's "Dorene Discovers" is hanging out at the famous roasted corn stand. We'd say that's one of the best assignments at the Fair! 🌽🎙️

And don't forget our BIG DEAL contest!

📸 Stop by the giant Ferris wheel, snap a photo, and post it in the comments for your chance to win a FREE one-year WAMI membership plus some WAMI swag!

Sometimes the biggest deal isn't chasing what's new... it's celebrating the Wisconsin traditions we love year after year.

Happy Friday, everyone! 🌽🎶🎡
