The board was 35 feet long and 7 feet wide and could fit 145 cheese varieties, totaling nearly 4,500 pounds. A huge, 2,000-pound cheddar wheel was the board’s centerpiece.

The Madison Mallards Neil is always looking for new ways to challenge his co-host, Caleb Jahr. This week, Caleb stepped up to the plate to take on the Madison Mallards baseball team! Coach Donnie said if Caleb got ahold of a pitch, he would buy him a steak dinner...After merciless heckling and no small amount of doubt, Caleb hit an 85 mph fast pitch! It was a foul ball, but it still counts, and Caleb had himself a steak dinner on coach Donnie! Thanks to the whole Mallards team and staff, you guys are amazing! Art fair on the square and the La Fête de Marquette When summer hits, the residents of Madison take full advantage of the chance to get out and explore music, art, and great food around the city! The Art Fair On The Square is one such inspiring event! With its mix of music, entertainment, and outdoor dining, as well as nearly 500 artists exhibiting paintings, prints, photographs, sculpture, jewelry, handmade clothing and accessories, and fine craft, the fair draws nearly 200,000 visitors to Madison's Capitol Square. A few years back, Neil stumbled onto the La Fête de Marquette (The Marquette Festival), a chill little music festival that takes place at Madison’s Central Park. La Fête de Marquette is four days of fabulous world-class music, unparalleled local cuisine, cute boutiques, cold craft beer, and wine for all tastes at Madison’s Central Park. We are building another swag bag for the Game of Magnets! If you still need a magnet, you can stop by Metcalfe’s market (two locations) to pick yours up! Neil and Caleb are assembling another great swag bag that they will give away, but you have to be playing to the game!

Last year, the Crossfit Games brought $12 Million in revenue to the greater Madison area, so the fact that they are extending their stay means even more awesomeness in the Madison area! It also means Caleb will be running around the city doing pushups, in an effort to get jacked! Stay tuned, more video updates to follow... Where can you find Madison’s best fish fry? For this segment of the Madison Food Tournament, the team is on the search for the best fish fry in the city! Everyone knows where to get their favorite cheese curds (after all, that’s a Madison staple), but Neil and Caleb pointed out that they don’t even know how many places around the city serve fish fry, so it’s hard to know where to start! If you are a fish fry fanatic, they are taking recommendations for this round of the Madison Food Tournament! You can share on all their social channels, they would be glad to hear from you! Concerts on the square Madison has an amazing fine arts community to explore and enjoy, including Concerts on the Square, a highly popular free summer series Concerts on the Square in Madison’s Capitol Square that reaches more than 245,000 people across Dane, Columbia, Jefferson, Waukesha, and Sauk counties.

Madison always has an event going on, but it can be hard to know where to go or what events you should choose! Not to worry, the hosts of the I Love Madison Show will be your guides to all of the fun, funny and delicious things to things to find in Madison. On this episode, the hosts Neil Mathweg and Caleb Jahr highlight a few of the events in Madison for you to enjoy, like the Madison Food Tournament, The Game of Magnets, and the 2018 USA National Yoga Championship! What’s happening around Madison? There is always something to do around Madison, especially in the summer! From the farmer’s market to the Crossfit games, there is something for everyone. The MIL hosts will be out and about all summer to explore local events (and probably find new challenges for Caleb). Make sure to check out Concerts on the Square, as well as the Flavors of Wisconsin. The Game of Magnets is also in full swing, and Caleb Jahr may be milking a cow in the very near future! We need suggestions for the next food tournament So far, the residents of Madison have voted on the best burgers in town, as well as the best cheese curds. For the third installment of the Madison Food Tournament, we need your suggestions for what food to vote on next! There is a poll on our Facebook page with a few suggestions, so please head over there and vote, then get out and help us determine the next champion of delicious eats!

This year, the GMCVB is hosting the USA 2018 National Yoga Championships right here! Come celebrate yoga in beautiful Madison, WI with athletes from around the United States, yoga classes, yoga demonstrations, and a wide array of merchandise! LinkedIn Local I was recently asked to be on a panel for a LinkedIn Local event, which is hilarious because just over a year ago, I declared that LinkedIn was not a social platform. This event was an amazing opportunity to connect to other business professionals from Madison! The fact that we were all present made it easier to follow other people’s profiles and connect!

If you haven’t listened to the I Love Madison Show lately, you haven’t listened to the I Love Madison Show! Episode 28 may go down as the historic episode “where it all started…” Caleb Jahr joins the show as a regular host, alongside Neil Mathweg, and the show has a whole new format for you to enjoy! Laugh along as Caleb recounts his experience of taking on a bunch of professional hockey players at the Capitol Ice Arena in the Caleb vs. Madison segment, find out where you can get your magnet for the Game of Magnets show, weigh in on whether Madison residents should learn to embrace winter (yeah, we said it), and hear from Kate Dale from the Madison Sports Commission to learn more about Bucky on Parade! This episode is packed, so grab some cheese curds, or ice cream...or whatever dairy product you prefer (Sassy Cow), and enjoy the I Love Madison Show! The Game of Magnets The Metcalf market is sponsoring a swag bag for the first Game of Magnets giveaway! If you are not already playing, you should be! There are tons of Madison residents who have already joined and are on the search for more magnets around the city! After you receive your magnet, you can register it on social media, then keep an eye out for other magnets around the city. If your magnet or a magnet you have registered gets selected, you win some great prizes to local places around the city! Caleb Vs. Madison If you know Caleb Jahr, you know he is a tenacious guy, even when he is attempting to block shots from a bunch of professional hockey players. This week, he donned some goalie gear (it was waaayy too big for him) at the Capitol Ice Arena and did his level best to defend the goal. In the future, Caleb will be volunteering for other “Caleb vs. Madison” challenges, so if you have ideas, please submit them! Neil is thinking he needs to milk a cow...if you have a cow (a literal cow, not just a melt-down), and are willing to volunteer said cow, reach out! Trailing spouses...and everyone else in Madison should embrace winter This week, Neil spoke at an event called Disrupt Madison about trailing spouses in Madison. He recaps some of that talk on this episode, in case you missed it! One idea that came up was the fact that everyone connects in the summertime, but in the winter, everyone becomes a hermit (understandably). It was suggested to Neil that Madison residents should embrace winter, and find ways to connect and build community, despite the cold. If you are outdoorsy, you might consider exploring some of the winter activities, like snowshoeing, snowmobiling, ice fishing, etc. If staying indoors is more your speed, consider hosting friends for game nights, cozy fires and a beverage of your choice! What ideas do you have for winter activities in Madison? The hosts would love to hear them! Bucky On Parade Kate Dale works with the Madison Area Sports Commission, an organization that supports local sports through grants to local youth programs and services. They are responsible for some of the most successful events in the Midwest - USA Cycling National Championships, Ironman Wisconsin, and WIAA High School State Championships, just to name a few. They are also behind the Bucky On Parade, a free public art event featuring 85 life-size Bucky Badger statues throughout Madison and Dane County. Local and regional artists have transformed these Bucky statues into unique works of art, which will later be auctioned off to support Garding Against Cancer, Madison Area Sports Commission and other community charities. Bucky on Parade provides many opportunities for the community to get involved and be a part of the fun, including a Kid’s Activity Book, Finale Party, Talks and Tours and more! Check out their website for more information! Outline of This Episode [1:15] Caleb Jahr is the new co-host of the I Love Madison Show!
