One of the things I love most about Wisconsin is that we do a lot of things the same way our grandparents did. We love tradition. There are several traditions that are uniquely Wisconsin. These are eight of them:

1. Ice Fishing. We love doing everything when it's freezing outside. Hey--don't knock it till you try it.

2. Paczkis. Those lines are particularly insane during Fat Tuesday. We love them!

3. Fish boil. You have not experienced Wisconsin cuisine until you've been to a fish boil.

4. Staring. I don't know man, it just seems like we love to stare at people we don't know.
