Tremblay’s Sweet Shop – Hayward
10569 S Main St Hayward, WI 54843
(715) 634-2785
Tremblay’s is one of my very favorite candy shops ever, with a great variety and super fun atmosphere. We love watching through the window as workers stir the fudge and make brittle and candy right before us. We love the center island of candy jars where employees weigh your wishes by the pound. And we absolutely adore the pecan turtles, which we could eat every day of the year with no trouble! The only problem at Tremblay’s is deciding what you want!
Along with the turtles, I love the malted milk balls here—chocolatey and malty, way better than the brand name mass-produced version you can buy in stores. We totally love the wide assortment of gummy things. And then there are those dang turtles. Over the years, we’ve tried other things—the brittle is great, the fudge is good, the haystacks are delicious. But if I had a pound of malted milk balls and a box of turtles, life would be good for quite some time!
A pound of specialty fudge makes a great Christmas gift.

Chequamegon Fat Tire Festival – September 13–15, 2013
Each year in mid-September, thousands of fat tired fliers descend on the towns of Cable and Hayward in northwestern Wisconsin to take on the off-road bicycle tests of endurance and agility offered during the Chequamegon Fat Tire Festival weekend.
Since its inception in 1983, the Chequamegon Fat Tire Festival has built a popularity and reputation that is unmatched in the sport today. From the 27 hardy cyclists who lined up to challenge the unknown trails of the Chequamegon in the first year, to the sold out limited field of 2,500 who are chosen by a random lottery, the Festival has earned the title of the “Nation’s Most Popular Off Road Bicycle Adventure.” For more information call (715) 798-3594 or visit www.cheqfattire.com.
