This issue of NEWisco Weekend takes a look at some of our favorite segments on Thanksgiving, music, and Red Cross Heroes.

Teri Barr brings us a feast for our ears. Commentator Amanda Nimmer rhapsodizes on Thanksgiving Food. We have stories from Connie Fellman on how much work goes into a Marching band performance. Jo Ann Krulatz tells us about a deer donation program…and later looks at the state’s Christmas tree.

Is it the turkey making you sleepy, or are you still feeling the effects of the time change? Maddie Schaffer answers that question. Savanna Tomei Olson shares info on a sale in Madison worth Billions. Pete Schwaba takes us on a journey for the Classic Movie Pick of the Week. And the cover story recounts five local heroes honored by the Red Cross.
