Ladies and Gentlemen! Children, of all ages. There's something for everyone in the Baraboo/Dells area of Wisconsin. Culture, history, geology and just plain fun. Bring the whole family and enjoy!

The Dells of the Wisconsin River were carved during the last Ice Age and present a beautiful collection of bluffs, pillars, canyons and other rock formations. The city of Wisconsin Dells also holds the claim of the "Water Park Capital of the World" with several themed water and adventure parks along with all kinds of other attractions. After a day of sun, water and fun, there's the mesmerizing Rick Wilcox Magic Show.

In nearby Baraboo, on the historic winter grounds of the Ringling Brothers Circus, is Circus World Museum. Several of the original animal and wagon barns there have been converted into display areas for circus memorabilia. The museum also restores and houses "the largest collection of authentic circus wagons on earth". In addition to the displays and demonstrations, there are big top performances twice a day.

Between the two cities is the International Crane Foundation, home to representatives of each of the species of cranes in the world. The Foundation is dedicated to the research and preservation of the cranes and their habitat.

This rally will take you to many of these venues. We will be staying a short distance from them in the Sauk County Fairgrounds in Baraboo, just down the road from Circus World Museum.

No trip to Wisconsin would be complete without sampling some of our haute cuisine. This rally will offer you two of our specialties: beer (or something more age-appropriate) and bratwurst, and Friday Night Fish Fry (held on a Wednesday night just for you). There may even be a local cheese (or two thousand) for you to sample.

If you have the time and inclination, the city of Baraboo, in conjunction with the Circus World Museum, hosts a Big Top Parade every year. The parade features traditional circus parade units and circus-themed entries created by community groups and businesses. Young and old will be enthralled by the historic circus wagons, marching bands, community floats, horses and of course, a cavalcade of clowns! The 2025 parade will be held on Saturday, June 14. A circus parade is a spectacle not to be missed.
