Let’s Go On Vacation
This week’s issue focuses on spring vacations and travel!!
Are virtual vacations really a thing? What about the importance of taking those vacation days? Take a break in NEWisco with a really cool Star Wars Memorabilia exhibit. This is the season to tap maple trees. And Musician Sam Ness gets help in songwriting from his travels.
We also have more serious stories on Diabetes Alert Day and the League of Women Voters expressing concern about what they see as an attack on democracy. Plus Pete Schwaba’s Classic Cinema pick of the week.

Manufacturing & The Mulva Center
Our partners with the Fox Cities Chamber of Commerce helped connect us with Ann Franz, Executive Director of N.E.W. Manufacturing Alliance. Ann comes armed with details on their recent Economic Vitality Study. In basic terms, the study shows us the strength of manufacturing in Northeast Wisconsin and the recruitment need for this industry. She also worked in the U.P., so obviously, she and Maino can connect on that! Then Katy Compton with the Mulva Cultural Center swings by to promote a new exhibit called "Unofficial Galaxies", one of the largest private single collections of Star Wars memorabilia in the world! Then Bryan with Heights Pub & Parlor joins to celebrate their 1 Year Anniversary.
