It's that time of year! The Salvation Army of Greater Green Bay's Nicole Hanley and Renee Main help get us in the holiday spirit by talking about the Coats for Kids campaign that is about to wrap up and their bell-ringing campaign for the holidays. Renee threw down a gauntlet and challenged Jim and John to compete to see who could raise the most money this season. They also invited Jim's dog, Milton, to join. Then, the Appleton Public Library Director joins to update us on the new library! Colleen Rortvedt says that due to patience and persistence, the new facility will open in early 2025!
