***Traffic Alert - ATV/UTV Route - Grant County Dairy Breakfast***

The Grant County Dairy Breakfast will be held on June 14, from 7:00am – 11:00am, at Majestic View Dairy, located at 5368 Commercial Road, Lancaster, WI.

In coordination with The Grant County Dairy Breakfast, Majestic View Dairy, the Grant County Highway Department, the Lancaster Police Department, and the Grant County Sheriff’s Office a map has been prepared to inform the public of the preferred entrance and exit points for motor vehicles and to identify the only approved route for ATVs and UTVs.

Please note: ATVs and UTVs are NOT ALLOWED on Highway 61 or Highway 129. The only approved ATV/UTV route for entering and exiting the Dairy Breakfast is highlighted in green on the map. Access to this route is City Limits Road to Bemis Road, from the City of Lancaster.

Thank you to three local businesses; Lancaster Pharmacy, Bryhan’s Autobody and Paint, and Eastman Cartwright Home and Lumber, who have generously authorized ATV and UTV traffic through their parking lots, during the event, so riders may cross Highway 61 directly onto Commercial Road to access the event.

Reminder, there will be increased traffic due to the event, and traffic on Highway 61, at that location, travels at 45 mph.
