Matthew and I have just started the process of making a decision. We are pondering the idea of buying land and building a home, putting up some out-buildings and having a little hobby farm. We are in the very early thinking stages. There are quite a few things that have to "line-up" correctly first. This will all take a while but I'm starting to get excited about the possibilities.
I've lived in Hudson all my life minus a few years here and there, basically I'm a Hudsonite. Matthew is from the very southern part of SW Wisconsin and has about as much background info. as I do. Not much. We are considering a couple of spots Glenwood City or Osceola. I like them both for different reasons and am starting to have a preference between the two. One is in St.Croix county and one is in Polk county. I'd like to think about the two county fairs as Isaiah (and Mama & Papa) is getting pretty excited about starting 4H this year. I've only been to St. Croix's fair but the Polk co. fairgrounds looked awfully impressive. I know nothing about the school districts either. I'll probably have to do some detective work in that area as well. Do any of you "out there" know about either community? Do you have any feelings about either school district or county fair? It would be so cool if anyone has an opinion. If you do have personal experience with either place let me know what you think of it. Thanks a bunch!

Mama Noser has the Fair Info. She does them both I believe. I on the other hand would like you to stay here in Hudson. My three cents.
I do believe we'd make a weekly trip into Hudson for church we'd get to hang out at my parent's house for the day, too. I'd still see you. :) Plus, ya'll could come out to the Rolli "farm" and feed the critters, etc. It's less than 45min. to Osceola and only 30 to Glenwood City. Not too far.
I think Osceola has MUCH more to offer than Glenwood City. The St. Croix river is a stone's throw away, it still has the small-town atmosphere without being too far from a larger town (St. Croix Falls), and it's really beautiful.
AND Believe me, there is no comparison between the St. Croix Co. fair (lame) and the POLK COUNTY STATE FAIR (rockin').
Heck, if we were thinking about moving, I'd look there first.
We're leaning towards Osceola. I wish I knew more about the different school districts. It'll be hard for me to send my kiddos to a different district because I feel I know the Hudson district pretty well. I attended schools here, I student-taught here, subbed here and Isaiah has a year under his belt. Thanks for your input.
