We discuss all the new happenings downtown, fun things to do throughout the county, Bigfoot (because we always love Bigfoot) and how Becca looks identical to a current "Survivor 46" contestant.

Sorry for the late upload, we had technical difficulties but we will be back on schedule for future episodes. The wait was worth it as Chancellor Frank returns to the podcast after being one of our very first guests. The first time Frank was on the show, we spoke all about COVID as she had only started her new job 7 days prior to the shut down. Now unmasked and ready to go, Frank shares her thoughts on the growing physical expansions on campus, the largest donation the college has ever received, the success of their sports program and so much more.

Do you farm? Do you live in town? Do you manage residential, commercial, or public property? Do you enjoy fishing, swimming, boating, hiking, or canoeing? Do you think the economic and environmental health of this beautiful region is important? If the answer is "yes" to these questions, you should attend the Red Cedar Watershed Conference on Thursday, March 14, 2024.

We love new businesses downtown, especially ones started by well established owners. Jennifer Rentmeester has been providing floral arrangements and gorgeous decor to those in the Chippewa Valley for many years. Rentmeester is onto a new adventure, the opening of The Gilded Faun Floral & Gift Boutique. We learn about what led her to opening a brick and morter business, her passions in life and what goods she sells that others in Menomonie do not. Jennifer is a sweet and caring person with a true passion to make Menomonie a better place.

Talented people are spread throughout the community and Erik Evensen is one of the premiere artistic talents we have the pleasure to know. Evensen's artwork can be seen on shirts, books, board games and more throughout Dunn County. He is a man of many talents who goes into great detail of his love for giving his art to the community, teaching the younger generations and participating in many Menomonie Theater Guild productions. Evensen is a delight of a person on our delightful podcast.
