Be My Valentine

Chocolate and Valentine's Day are a perfect pairing. Treat your sweetheart at a couple of local events this weekend!

River Valley Trading Company in Blanchardville is having their 2nd annual Chocolate Tasting and Auction on Saturday afternoon. From 2 until 4, sample delicious and unusual chocolates from TerraSource Gourmet Chocolates along with various wines. For only $2, you can sample all of the chocolates. Then, bid for your favorites in the silent auction. Stick around to show the selection of interesting and varied local gifts available at River Valley Trading Company, and save 10% on any of them.

After chocolate appetizers, head across the street to the new Pecatonica Grapevine. There, owner Christine Pieper will have another tasting, this time pairing wines with delectable morsels from one of our favorites, Stef over at Goosechaser Farm. Chef Stef will be bringing quiche with roasted duck on apple and fennel slaw with raspberry walnut vinaigrette; pumpkin gnocchi with sesame walnut butter; and red wine braised pastured pork with spaetzle and winter vegetables. If the samples are too enticing, pick up a full size dinner to take home. There will be more TerraSource chocolates here too! The event goes from 4 until 6, $7 per person.

Chocolate Temptation had a very popular chocolate fondue event last year, and they are repeating it this year. Now, both Saturday and Sunday are currently full, but I just spoke with Scott, and they are taking names to see if they have enough people to add another seating. I highly recommend it, so call them at 328-2462. If fondue isn't your thing, they will also be open for a while on the afternoon of Valentine's Day too, so take your sweetheart in to share a dessert and coffee drink.

Finally, take your little sweetheart to the Candyland Ball at the Masonic Temple in Freeport. From 6:30 until 8, little girls ages 10 and under can come with an adult in their lives (dad, mom, or whomever is special) to dance and enjoy the evening. $25 per couple, $28 for non-residents, each additional child is $7.

Most of the local restaurants will be doing reservations or special menus for this coming weekend, so treat your sweetheart. If you prefer to do the cooking yourself, consider a local foods menu! There are many places available to get local meat, including the previously mentioned Goosechaser Farm, and if you need some winter veggies, call Barb at Mainstreet to connect with the farmer's market coordinator. Many vendors do still have root crops like onions, potatoes and carrot available. Round out your table with wines from Famous Fossil or Primrose, or beer from New Glarus Brewing Company or Minhas.

Discover Turner Hall in Monroe Wi. "One reason I love this area."

Scott Larson SRES: Real Estate Agent in Monroe, WI

Perhaps it's been awhile since you've visited Monroe's Turner Hall. Maybe you've never visited Monroe's Turner Hall. We encouraged you to discover again, or perhaps for the first time, this wonderful historic, landmark facility featuring the upper level Grand Hall; lower level Ratskeller Restaurant; and a small, family-oriented bowling center.

.Established in 1868 by Swiss and German immigrants - a few short years after the Civil War - the Turner Hall of Monroe is believed to be the only Turner (gymnast) Hall of Swiss origin left in the United States. The original structure, located on the same site as the current building, burned to the ground in 1936. The current building, a Swiss Emmenthal chalet designed by German architect, Max Hamisch, opened in 1938 and is listed on the National and State Registers of Historic Places. A 501(c)(3) non-profit corporation, the mission and government of the Turner Hall of Monroe is much the same today as it was in 1868.

Located at 1217 17th Avenue, Monroe, WI, 2 blocks south of the downtown square near the Monroe Middle School, the facility is smoke-free and handicapped-accessible. Parking is available in a lot across the street and within a half block. More information is available at www.TurnerHallofMonroe.org or by calling 608-325-3461.
