The hour begins with Sheri Omernik & John Calewarts from Kayak Wisconsin.

Through the discussion, they reveal the hidden gems of local waterways and how their self-serve rentals work. The episode paddles over to art with Greg Vadney from Manitowoc’s Rahr-West Art Museum, celebrating its 75th anniversary and showcasing a rare Georgia O'Keeffe piece.
