Describe your event.

It always varies. I have four meetings every year, both state board meetings and conferences. We have had it at the Dells every year for the past five years. The Wintergreen Resort and Conference Center is a wonderful place to go. I have nothing but admiration for the people there.

Why did you decide to host the meeting in Wisconsin Dells?
The central location, because I’m pulling people from all over the state.

What surprised you the most about Wisconsin Dells?
The Dells has certainly grown. It’s one of the most famous resorts, I would say—it is the finest in the Midwest. The water features there are awesome. It’s an outstanding place to have a conference because everything is at your fingertips. The food is marvelous. People want to keep going back because the food is so good.

What did your attendees seem to enjoy the most about Wisconsin Dells?
The fun atmosphere. You can gamble, you can swim, you can sightsee. This is what I’m finding on my evaluations.

Was anybody particularly helpful?
The people at Wintergreen Resort and Conference Center are so congenial and helpful, and the person who’s in charge of the catering service is just wonderful. Did you incorporate any interesting excursions or activities into the agenda? We left them on their own to do the water tours.

How does Wisconsin Dells compare to other places where you have hosted meetings?
I feel much more welcome here. They really put themselves out for you. The friendly atmosphere at the Dells is marvelous.

Would you return?
Yes, we already have the date set in September.
