Ole & Lena at the State Fair Heyde Center for the Arts-Chippewa Falls Wisconsin Our trip will weave us through the beautiful scenery of rural Wiscon-

sin. On our way to Chippewa Falls, we will make a stop at the quaint

Eau Galle Cheese Factory Shop. Time to browse, enjoy some tasty

samples and take a stretch break. Once we arrive in Chippewa Falls,

you will be delighted by the hilarious production of Ole and Lena at

the State Fair. The lunch buffet is scrumptious at the historic Heyde

Center. The calendar has finally turned over to Ole’s favorite event of

the year - State Fair time. Unfortunately, Lena doesn’t share Ole’s

excitement. For years Lena has been in countless competitions with

her arch rival Elaine Danielson, always battling, only to end up with a

tie for the coveted blue ribbons. But this year Lena has a new trick up

her sleeve that she’s sure will tip the balance in her favor. Ole, on the

other hand, has his own fair surprise this year. Ole heard on CCO that

Sweet Martha makes a truckload of money at the fair so Ole and

Sven have decided they're going to turn the Fair into a money making

operation with a food stand of their own. Their goal is to come up with

something they can stuff on a stick and get them on TV with Frank

and Amelia. But when it comes time for the leave for the Fair, Lena is

nowhere to be found. Can Ole find Lena in time to spring her surprise

on arch nemesis Elaine?

On our way home, we will stop in at Kwik Trip in Durand, Wisconsin

for a pit stop and snack break.
