Several communities in Green County help with Depot Days and celebrate their unique individual railroad history through historical displays, photos, music, train rides, model railroads and more. But Covered Bridge Days is Brodhead's baby. Sutherland said it takes an entire community to spread word of the celebration and advertise its events. Covered Bridge Days has variety shows, singers and musicians. Especially with Covered Bridge Days, Chamber members plan the event and send out a plea for everyone to help out.
People then become involved and spread the word about the event in the surrounding area.
Stores in town appreciate the exposure, too, and people really help out. Blanchardville Blanchardville has an annual father's day chicken barbecue, a car, truck and cycle show, and a Valentine's Day Dance, all of which require hundreds of volunteers and often include baseball games or tractor rides. But the community's most prominent event is the Heritage Days festival. Much like New Glarus, Blanchardville takes the time to celebrate its ethnic and historical beginnings. But if they aren't enough to keep tourists coming back, Blanchardville's scenery can be.
