Two more shows this weekend, go see what the news is all about!!

These NEWSIES have been out spreading the word, and took a moment to drop in on our ZGYPT Series Sponsor Culver's--we are incredibly grateful for their continued support of youth programming in our community!

We are also thankful for additional support from Positively Portage, Crawford Oil and Propane, the Jon and Char Bernander Charitable Fund at the Community Foundation of South Central Wisconsin and all of our program advertisers.
