An annual autumn pub crawl in Oshkosh is scheduled for this coming weekend, but Oshkosh police are strongly discouraging attendance.
The pub crawl is an informal event where people, mainly students and young adults, go from party to party at various houses near the UW Oshkosh campus.

There were weapons-related incidents at the last two pub crawls.

As we get ready for the upcoming heating season, there are those who are going to need help paying the heating bill this year.
The Wisconsin Department of Administration has officially opened applications for the Wisconsin Home Energy Assistance Program.
State officials estimate that approximately 170,000 households will receive financial aid through the program this season.
Program benefits are paid directly to energy, utilities, and fuel suppliers to help offset home heating and power expenses.
Qualification for the program is determined by household size, total income, and overall energy costs, with eligibility cap that households earning 60% or less of the state median income level.

In addition to regular bill relief, the program offers U-Round crisis assistance, emergency furnace and water heater repairs, and home weatherization services based on an individual household needs.
