We’re talking about the Draft, and the hour starts with Maino’s conversation with former Green Bay quarterback Randy Wright. He was drafted to the pack in 1984, and things were VERY different back then. It was very laid back and a non-event. Obviously, things are very different today. Then Pam Seidl, Executive Director of the Fox Cities Convention and Visitors Bureau, visits to talk about the Fox Cities’ contribution to the big event. The CVB is stepping up with shuttle services and events like a mini Mile of Music, which includes 10 venues with live music on Wednesday night.
