Ken Gempeler, Co-Owner and "Sausage Meister" at Gempeler's Supermarket, Monticello, holds a tray of freshly made Kalberwurst (veal sausage), which received the Reserve Grand Champion award in its category at the meat judging competition held during the Wisconsin Association of Meat Processors (WAMP) annual convention in Middleton, WI, in late August. Behind Ken is Gempeler's ProSmoker smokehouse, used to make all of their smoked sausage products.
