AUTUMN IN WISCONSIN®
When Wisconsin weather turns from warm to crisp, it brings with it a changing landscape that’s nothing less than magical to those who live here. As the different shades of red, brown and orange descend upon our state, many Wisconsin natives fall in love all over again with their favorite season.
What makes it a resident favorite? More apple orchards than one can count, cozy supper clubs with Old Fashioneds practically by the barrel, and the genuine comfort of a warm sweater and crackling bonfire after a brisk hike through the forest. From pumpkin patches and corn mazes to scenic drives and the first signs of light snowfall, fall in Wisconsin is a favorite for many reasons that are waiting to be discovered.

“If this (game development with his current company) is going to happen – it needs to happen in Wisconsin. The state has a strong engineering background and strong education background, but also a strong artistic background. Wisconsin brings the best of these unique backgrounds together.”
“Wisconsin is the best state for us. The balance of network support, the economics and the opportunity for social and culture. Wisconsin is ideal for anyone’s success.”
“Living in Austin (Texas) was getting to be too expensive. There are a lot of opportunities in Wausau with major companies. We took promotions when we moved here. And the commute times are shorter so I get more time with my family.”
“Wisconsin is great for it. The cost of living is amazing, the people are amazing, you have access to so many things. You don’t need to live in a Chicago, San Francisco, New York … they are great cities, but if you can get all those amenities here, at a much lower cost, why wouldn’t you?”
“There is a sense of belonging that I feel in Eau Claire that I don’t think I would feel if I was living in a different city.”
“Choosing Wisconsin was a perfect fit for our company and part of it was the people that live in the great state of Wisconsin.”
