While zipping through the Medford, WI area on an empty stomach, you could find yourself thinking about nothing but tasty sandwiches on fresh artisan bread piled high with delicious fillings and toppings and condiments … oh, my. So, we thought we might suggest a few sandwich places in and around Medford where you might find such hot or cold delights.

1. Medford Cafe

Serving breakfast and lunch with diner-style faves, sandwiches here run to the classic including burgers, melts, and hearty hot subs like the Philly steak, gyro, Reuben, fried or grilled chicken, fried fish, and BLT options.

Downtown Medford, Wisconsin

Spring is now in full swing in Medford, WI! Maple sugaring season has been well underway since late February. This year on April 30th, the town is holding their 9th annual Maple Festival at their own Taylor County Fairgrounds, to celebrate the renowned sugar maple tree at the conclusion of its harvesting season. Deemed Wisconsin’s state tree in 1949, the sugar maple attracts thousands each year with its flashy display of red and golden leaves that never cease to amaze those who witness them. But most visitors end up staying to satisfy their sweet tooth, indulging in the seemingly endless ways to use maple syrup and sugar. Taylor County’s Maple Fest welcomes locals and visitors alike to experience how the sugar maple’s versatility connects the community, from maple-sweetened cuisine to wood crafting to rich tourism. Just be sure to wear layers to fully enjoy the northern spring season!

There are many trucks on the market, and one of the first decisions you have to make is what size pickup you need. If you are looking for a light-duty truck ready to take the family fishing, head out to enjoy the national parks, or run errands around town, you will love the 2022 Ford F-150.

1. Bed Durability

It is incredibly important to have a durable truck bed. The cargo box needs to be able to haul kennels, bricks, camping gear, and even recreational vehicles. This means that it can’t fall apart the third time you use it. The ’22 Ford F-150’s body is built with high-strength, military-grade aluminum. This means your truck and truck bed can withstand nearly anything you throw at it.
