Market Snapshot
With the nickname "The Groundhog Capital of the World," Sun Prairie, Wisconsin is far from ordinary. As you can imagine, there's a good story behind the nickname. This little town on the prairie noticed the abundance of rodents around town, and decided to turn it into a tourist attraction. Nowadays an appointed groundhog, known as Jimmy, rivals Punxsutawney Phil as the nation's most-watched groundhog every year on the second day of February.
That's not even the end to the interesting factoids you'll soon learn about your new hometown. This town is also the home of the Sweet Corn Festival, the National Midget Auto Racing Hall of Fame, and some of the friendliest people you'll find this side of the Mississippi.
However, Sun Prairie is more than just a quirky Midwestern small town. This is a city with a large and varied legacy: did you know that renowned artist Georgia O'Keefe is a Sun Prairie native? It's true. The local Historical Museum will clue you in to the long and proud history of Sun Prairie. Mostly, however, this is a forward-thinking city. A suburb of state capital Madison, it is the home of Angell Park Speedway, a huge Family Aquatic Center, and a host of other state-of-the-art amenities that put it squarely beyond "small town." The Angell Speedway in particular is a huge draw for the area, hosting races almost every week in the summertime. The Speedway is also the home of the aforementioned National Midget Auto Racing Hall of Fame. What is midget auto racing anyway? You'll just have to visit and see for yourself.
Sun Prairie's name suggests a naturally beautiful place, and it doesn't mislead you. New residents are sometimes surprised by how pretty their green, sun-washed new hometown is. But if you've done your research beforehand, you won't be surprised. You'll know about Patrick Marsh, for instance, 60 acres of one of Wisconsin's only wetlands. On the marsh you can go for a walk along the waters or bring a canoe for a truly peaceful experience.
The residents of Sun Prairie also benefit from a system of 38 parks with more than walking trails. Here there are facilities for every sport under the sun. Anyone with kids will probably find the Family Aquatic Center to be one of the area's best parks. This crowd-pleaser is beloved by all of Sun Prairie's kids for its tall slides and way-cool zero-depth pool.
