The town of Downsville
is located in Northwest Wisconsin (about 4 miles
north of where we live). It is tucked along the banks of the Red Cedar
River. With a population of 180, it is
an all year long destination for people who are biking, skiing, showmobiling or hiking the Red Cedar Trail.
The 13th
Annual Discover Downsville Days
is always held on the 4th
Saturday in August. And sharing this fun
day with us was 2 of our grand kids (Joseph 10 yrs & Julia 11 mos.) and our
daughter, Jill. So sit back and enjoy this small town’s celebration! Here comes the parade.

I had a 3 speed '72 lime green duster with tan interior. It was my first car as a 2nd LT. It was a chick magnet!
ReplyDeleteHi Jeff and Kay! We just rolled through Buffalo, WY and remembered meeting you here and having breakfast at the Hoot and Howl. So checked your Blog to see where you are. Looks like you are enjoying your travels! Where will you keep warm this winter? We are headed to Seattle now and hope to stop in AZ sometime this winter. We then plan to go on to Texas and Louisiana and circle back to Chicagoland for a H.S. graduation next May. Let us know if we're in your 'flight plan' somewhere. Sending hugs from I90 in Wyoming, Jan & Chuck
