Ellie here. It looks like this heat wave will continue through the Fourth of July weekend.

I hope everyone is staying safe!

Earlier this week, I asked about your plans for celebrating America’s 250th. Here’s what you said:

“Our tiny village celebrated on 6/27, so this weekend we will celebrate with family in Tigerton. Parade, block party, good food, music and fireworks.” — Ellen S.

“Spending the weekend with friends at their camp ground. Eating, watching fire works, playing games and putting together puzzles. Maybe a craft project or 2.” — Arlan B.

What fun activities! I’ll be spending it on the lake with family and friends.

Got anything exciting planned? Let me know! Or, if you’re looking for a place to celebrate, we’ve got you covered with this list of ways Wisconsin is going all out for America’s 250th.

Camping is one of my favorite summer activities, and there’s no shortage of places to go in Wisconsin.

My favorite spot is Newport State Park in Door County. It’s an amazing spot to see the stars.
