Every year, right about this time, here in Wisconsin, we start seeing big round balls of yellow against the sky. No, it's not the elusive sun we seek all winter (although we are delighted to see that too!); it's the sunflowers making their annual showing.
Kelly Country Creamery opened its sunflower fields this past Monday. Although smaller than other sunflower fields, this one is unique in that all proceeds support the Northeast Wisconsin "Old Glory Honor Flights" organization. The fields are open from 11 am - 8 pm every day. There is a suggested donation of $3 per person. Cut sunflowers are available for sale, and don't forget the ice cream before you leave! The fields are dog friendly.
