Are there any kind of, um, farm tours coming up that people might be aware of?
19:07
So, um, Wisconsin Agricultural Tourism Association, um, is using a digital passport, uh, program to help our guests find these farm tours and to find places to plan their destination visits.
19:24
So, um, if you go to wiatourism.com, we currently have five active digital passports, but our most recent ones that we're very proud of is called the Folk and Field Experiences.
19:39
That's where you can take some classes on a farm.
19:42
Um, the next one is called the Hill and Valley Exploration Tour, and we partnered with them because they're in their 10th year and they offer, uh, tours across Sauk and Richland and Juneau Counties that are the last two weekends in September, the 19th and 20th, and the 26th and 27th.
20:04
So that is, uh, the Hill and Valley Exploration Tour passport.
20:08
And then we have a brand-new one that we just launched for fall, and it's called the Fall Bingo Passport, and this is where you're-- the technology gives you a random bingo card with about 20 different categories, including apple cider, apple cider donuts, caramel apples, um, you know, mums, petting farms, pumpkin patches, vineyards, haunts if you're into haunts, um, and farm stays and festivals.
