The breakfast gathering. None of us knew how legendary this day would become. Two words: meat raffle.
More pool.
So we drove to Dallas, Wisconsin, to take a tour of the Viking Brewing Company. But after the drive into town, the brewery wasn't open. What are the other options in a town with only four businesses?
Confusion sets in.
An new opportunity presents itself in downtown Dallas. The Longhorn Bar.
Just our luck! It's meat raffle day!
Vegetarians can enjoy the irony of the situation.
Before this, I had never heard of such a thing. For the uninitiated, let me explain the Wisconsin meat raffle phenomenon. First, you buy a paint stick with a number written on it for $1. Then, a wheel is spun featuring all the number options. If the wheel lands on your number, you choose an envelope. Inside the envelope, a description of a type of meat is written down. The bartender goes to the back fridge, and in a matter of seconds, the winner has a huge slab of meat.
The Patriot Guard of Chetek, Wisconsin put on this fantastic meat raffle.
Here's what the Longhorn looks like.
Longhorn. Self-explanatory.
Sassy signs, and of course, a gun.
More sass.
My cousin won some meat. Boy, was I jealous.
Paint stick with a number, as earlier explained.
I got to spin the wheel!
The meat raffle crew. Not something we'll soon forget.
We had to have lunch at the restaurant down the street. At this table, we attempted to comprehend what we had just experienced.
This is the antique store of Dallas. This concludes the tour of Dallas, Wisconsin.
When we got back to The Lodge, we had a pool tournament.
Yours truly won!
Best way to celebrate victory.
