The perfect day for you and your guests is already planned out: Spend a morning at the Eau Claire Downtown Farmers Market (Phoenix Park, Eau Claire), buying produce from the farmers who grow it, watching local musicians perform, and enjoying a cup of coffee in the open-air pavilion. The Leinie Lodge and Brewery Tour (124 E. Elm St., Chippewa Falls) will keep you busy for the afternoon.  After the tour, stop in the lodge for a tasting and do some souvenir shopping. Head across the street to the Irvine Park Zoo and Nature Area for a picnic supper; explore the park and observe some of the animals that call it home. – Diana Peterson
