Beef-A-Rama

Beef-A-Rama is an annual event (48 yrs) held the last weekend in September in Minocqua.  Follows the Wisconsin plan for community events...beer gardens open at 10 am, beef gets served starting at noon, parade at 2 :30, awards, more beef, more beer, music, etc.   Local merchants compete in a beef roast competition.  Main street is closed off, the cooking begins.  By the time of the "parade of beef" a good time is being had by all.  Macy, Jane, and I went this year, a good time was had by all.  Here's the pre-parade activities...parade post to follow.

Big time grilling, over 10,000 attendees this year

Judge's make the rounds along Main Street.  Jane was not a judge, just a critic.

Grilling roasts for the masses.

Since the beer gardens open before the beef is served guidance is needed.

Let the beef begin!

Main drag is closed off and the crowds are huge.



Wisconsin "artists" do their thing.



Yes, there were Packer fans there too.
