Capitol 100th Anniversary
Gala |
This year marks the 100th anniversary of our
beautiful State Capitol building. In honor of this anniversary,
the Wisconsin Historical Foundation put on a once in a lifetime
gala to benefit the Capitol Restoration Fund. Here are some
photos from the event:

Thompson.

Assembly to us.

Veterans Day |
Although one
day is never enough to recognize their service, Monday marks
Veterans Day this year. I recently had the opportunity to meet
one veteran who left quite an impact on me.
Kris "Tanto" Paronto is a former Army Ranger and survivor of the
2012 Benghazi Siege that was the subject of the book and movie
13 Hours spoke in Neenah this week.
This Monday, don't forget to thank all those who
have served our country so courageously.
Check out other upcoming events near us by
visiting the
Wisconsin
Tourism website, and if you run into me while you’re out and
about be sure to stop and say hi! |
