Think.Love.Play.
Manitowoc County
|
Meet Kelly Wilfert and her family farm, Wilfert Farms!
Favorite thing about Manitowoc County:
Kramer and I enjoy exploring the horse trail at Point Beach State Park, but my favorite part of Manitowoc County is the strong community feel. In high school, a friend once said to me, "It must be awful living here! Everywhere we go - someone knows you." Today, that's one of my favorite things. From Mishicot to Meeme, it kept my younger self on my toes and continues to make me feel welcome countywide. It takes a village to raise a child, but those of us in Manitowoc are lucky enough to have a whole county.
