Tuesday, October 28 at 6:30pm.

Gary Berg has only been carving wood since 2001, but today we will get a chance to see how far he has progressed with his whimsical and creative designs.

Kim Miller from the Worth County Development Authority will be joining us to talk about how their organization has made a significant difference for area organizations.

And finally, stay tuned for a behind the scenes look at Oswald Fisheries. The giant muskie you’ve been angling for may just have been raised at this area fish farm.
