Kickapoo Country Fair & Organic Valley Giveaway
(In honor of the return of Futurama to the airwaves) Good news, everyone!
Coming up on the 24th-25th of July is the 7th annual Kickapoo Country Fair. The KCF is an organic food festival in LaFagre, WI . We’ve not been before, but they have music, food, farm tours, Michael Perry, and more.
The festival is put together by Organic Valley, a dairy cooperative that started way back in 1988 (when you’re talking organic agriculture, that’s practically paleolithic). I’m a fan of Organic Valley, they are a perfect example of how you can be big and sustainable. And big they are; Organic Valley is the largest organic coop in the country.
Our favorite Organic Valley product (2% milk), Kickapoo Country Fair tickets, & our favorite companion to Organic Valley milk (strawberry-rhubarb pie)
I don’t need to give you all the details here. You can head on over to the event’s website or check out another Wisconsin blogger, Burp, who has already written a very informative post on the festival.
Because we are such a powerful and influential blog (ha ha). the nice folks at Organic Valley have sent us a few gifts for our readers. We’ll be giving away 2 prizes, 1) four passes for the Kickapoo Country Fair and 2) 5 coupons for free Organic Valley products + a nifty reusable bag.
In order to enter, you’ll need to comment on this post (be sure to leave your email) and tell us the name of your favorite valley in Wisconsin. Make sure to let us know whether you are interested in the passes (we obviously want these to go to someone who will be able to attend). There will be two drawings. First for the passes from everyone that indicates an interest, then for the coupons among everyone except the winner of the passes (so if you are interested in the passes but don’t win them, you’re still in the running for the other prize).
The drawings will be made at midnight on the 9th of July (this Friday). By the way, Burp (mentioned above) has another giveaway going as well, so you should enter over there as well.
My family’s favorite valley in Wisconsin is the Wyoming Valley. This valley represents for us the entrance to Peck’s landing on the WI-23 bridge going to Spring Green, WI, a favorite swim spot for us.
We would for sure be interested in “four passes for the Kickapoo Country Fair” as we always try to make it to this most excellent event.
I don’t think your Futurama link is working
But I am certainly glad it’s back!
The Chippewa Valley is by far the best valley in Wisconsin!
How can it be beat?! It’s got the cities of Eau Claire, Chippewa Falls, and Menomonie; the Eau Claire and Chippewa rivers; the miles and miles of hiking, biking, running, and snowmobile trails; and handfuls of fantastic Farmer’s Markets, summer concert series, and family and community events happening weekly!
I am hoping to make it to the festival, but not sure as my husband is returning from active military duty that Friday and I’m sure the only thing he’ll want to do is stay at home!
I really enjoy following your blog though!
Our favorite valley is Marietta Valley on old highway 61, a few miles north of Boscobel. My parents have lived there for over 30 years, and unfortunately, the house is for sale now. It is a beautiful place, much like most of SW wisconsin. Would love tickets to the KCF- this will be our 4th year attending and we always look forward to it!
Kickapoo Valley! Although all the valley’s in the driftless region are like stepping into another world. It’s so captivating that we just had to move here and haven’t regretted it once.
btw: that’s a big “you betcha” on the four KCF tickets.
Do hollows count? We are partial to Haugrud Hollow (LaFarge) and the cool little creek that runs through it.
With four passes, we could bring the whole family to the Kickapoo Country Fair!
Favorite valley in WI? I’d have to say the Kickapoo Valley, why? Well, because of the beautiful rolling hills and wide variety of recreational activities you can participate in. Including biking, swimming, canoeing, hunting, sledding, cross-country skiing, and many more. The Kickapoo Valley is also home to the Kickapoo Valley Reserve, a place I love to spend time at.
I’m definetly going to the Kickapoo Country Fair. I know this for a fact because I plan to participate in the Butter Churn bike tour then spend the rest of the day/night enjoying the festivities.
If the Kickapoo valley wasn’t my favorite valley in Wisconsin, i wouldn’t be a Kickapoogian!!!!! Very interested in the tickets!!!!!
The Kickapoo Valley is the best valley in Wisconsin! The heart of Wisconsin’s Driftless Area…it is so beautiful. And don’t forget the Kickapoo River meandering through with its beautiful rock outcroppings! How could you pass up hours of canoe and kayak adventures in this beautiful region. Add a challenging bike ride through the rolling hills and you’ll be one happy camper sitting around the fire at Wild Cat Mountain State Park!
Can’t wait to return to the Valley for the Kickapoo Country fair. We’ve already got our campsite reserved and would love the passes to the fair.
It’s gotta be the Kickapoo Valley. We’re so in love with the area that we have been planning to move there since the first time we visited in 2008 for the Kickapoo Country Fair. We’d love a chance to take our 2 children to the fair this year. Maybe it will work some magic so we can finally move there!
Hollows definately count!

Thanks for pointing out the broken link. It’s fixed now. Good Luck everyone!
I am loathe to inform I don’t really know the many Valleys of Wisconsin {yet}. I do, however, FIRMLY believe that Kickapoo Valley is so dizzyingly beautiful it is trippy. So, for now, that is my favorite Valley. The Kickapoo Country Fair is PHENOMENAL. We went for a day last year and I was nearly crying when it was time to go home. This year, we will camp out for both days, to see so much more!
