The fan experience at Lambeau Field promises to be very different this upcoming season.  The Green Bay Packers sent a message to season ticket holders today saying the team is preparing to have fans in the stands but it will come with new policies and health safety measures.  Seating capacity will be reduced in order to accommodate social distancing protocols and face masks will be required.  In the coming weeks season ticket holders will be sent a questionnaire about different

 If we can’t have the full fair experience, we can have full bellies. That’s the idea, anyway. The Northern Wisconsin State Fair announced their 2020 Fair Food Shindig will take place July 10-12 in Chippewa Falls! “We know things certainly have not been the same nor have they been easy, but we would like to do our part in bringing you a little joy in 2020 with a Fair Food Shindig July 10-12 at the Northern Wisconsin State Fairgrounds,” stated Rusty Volk, Executive Director

Wisconsin’s coronavirus outbreak is largely in the same place it was a week ago. More people are testing positive for the virus, but the number of people in the hospital continues to fall. The state’s Department of Health Services yesterday reported 539 positive tests and over 12 thousand negative tests. That’s largely where the state was on Wednesday. DHS says 236 people are in the hospital, and 74 are in the ICU. Those numbers are down from Wednesday. Wisconsin’s daily positive-test-rate

The Wisconsin Department of Justice is looking into a deadly officer-involved shooting in Sheboygan. Authorities say an officer responded to a call of a man with two knives early yesterday morning. The 911 call said the man was going after a woman. When the officer arrived, he ordered the man to drop the knives, the man didn’t, charged the officer, and was shot. Family members are identifying the dead man as 32-year-old Kevan Ruffin. They say he had a mental illness, and

The man at the center of last summer’s standoff at a Chippewa Falls motel is not heading to prison. A judge yesterday instead sentenced him to a state mental hospital for four-and-a-half years. The man called 911 from the Indianhead Motel back in August of last year and said he had a gun. A SWAT Team shot him as they tried to arrest him. It’s not clear if he really did have a gun. The judge found the man not

Traffic is moving along I-94 in Dunn County after yesterday’s heat-related pavement buckle. WIS-DOT crews said the heat cracked the interstate just past the exit for Highway 25. Cars and trucks headed west had to get off the interstate and drive through Menomonie to get around the problems. It took crews about two hours to repair the pavement.

Just because there won’t be a Wisconsin State Fair doesn’t mean you have to miss-out on the food. Managers at State Fair Park yesterday said there will be a State Fair Necessities drive-thru starting later this month. The idea is to let people pick-up their fair food favorites and enjoy them at home. The drive-through will be open Thursdays through Sundays for four weeks. There will also be an online State Fair store where people can grab swag for the 2020 State

One of Chippewa Falls’ most well-known business groups is pleading with people to wear masks. The folks at Chippewa Falls Main Street yesterday said everyone should wear a face mask to try to halt the spread of the coronavirus. Main Street Executive Director Teri Ouimette says more people are testing positive for the coronavirus, and those not wearing a mask could be next. Ouimette says they are recommending that people wear masks, they are not requiring it.

Governor Tony Evers says public health is everyone’s issue in overcoming COVID-19.  The governor today said celebrating July 4th can put families, friends and neighbors at risk.  Evers reminds Wisconsinites that COVID-19 has not gone away and it is spreading across communities. Meanwhile, the message is similar from health professionals. The Wisconsin Department of Health is urging people to stay home this holiday weekend.  Wisconsin has seen a spike in COVID-19 infections and many are caused by the spread of the virus at parties, barbecues,
