Ellie here. We’ve rebranded! I hope you all like it as much as we do.
While the winter weather has returned, we can at least reminisce on the few warm days we had earlier this month.
Earlier this week I asked how you’re preparing for spring. This is what I heard:
|
“Started cleaning up the garden and yard. Nice to be outside all day—without the winter layers.” — Brenda W.
“What I’m doing in preparation for spring? Hoping that all the plants around my house don’t start coming up too soon – I’m not prepared to begin gardening on my extensive flower and perennial gardens, yet!!” — Nancy K.
|
Thank you all for sharing! Gardening is a great spring activity. Have any gardening tips to share as spring approaches? Let me know!
Today, we’re taking a look at a record-breaking fundraiser in Green Bay, the ultimate guide to touring Lambeau field, and other Wisconsin news!
A quick reminder: For tomorrow’s Locals Love, I want to hear about your favorite sandwich spots! I don’t know about you, but there’s nothing better than a delicious sandwich for lunch. Send me your favorites—and tell me why—to be featured!

When the leaves in the trees start to change colors, and there is a cool chill in the air, that can only mean one thing: football season is approaching. In Wisconsin, only one National Football League (NFL) team is worth rooting for: the Green Bay Packers. One of the oldest franchises in the NFL, the Packers play at Lambeau Field, a storied stadium that has seen the team through seven decades.
You don’t have to wait until football season to see inside Lambeau Field, though. For true Cheeseheads, the best way to see the stadium is by catching a game there, but there are other ways, too: stadium tours. The Green Bay Packers offer several different tours of the stadium, including one led by former players.
