County & TWSP of that there WESconsin tavern, s'il vous plaît.

The Gotch
Oconto County in a little town called Klondike. The place burned down in 2014. My grandfather died in 1984 and we tapped Miller & Bud Lite starting in the early 2000s, I think. Maybe sooner. I really don’t remember, having hit the road in the 90s. There are better jobs in life than bartending, especially for bookworms.

Been to-n-thru Klondike many a time, back in the day. Had clients there, and in Pound, Coleman, Lena, Suring, Gillett, Oconto, Oconto Falls, and many, many others.

There were some GREAT Cheese Factories in those there parts, but just about all have closed.

Wow! Almost no one has ever even heard of it, except the locals. I haven't been up there in years myself; my parents (and pretty much everyone else I knew) have passed and old friends have moved as well. There's really not much up there anymore. Since the cheese factories have closed that leaves only a few places to find good work. It's all farms and lake cottages now.
