Well, you'll be a wee bit up Nort there, hey? (sorry, couldn't help myself) It will be more conservative than a bigger metro location. The Wolf River area is beautiful. Appleton is a nice town.
I'm down in the Milwaukee metro area...I imagine much closer to what you are used to. People are pretty nice here on the whole. Just get to know the local customs before you try to introduce anything crazy new.

It could be I'm used to it. I grew up in a small hick town, Wisconsin. I turned out ok.
If you want more specific info, let me know. I'll try to help you.
