📰 News we're reading

• Heavy rain, snow this past year means more road work (gazettextra.com) — Spooner drivers can expect a rougher, busier roadwork season after this winter’s heavy snow and rain left Washburn County with more potholes and failing chip seals, especially on Highways 63 and D. Highway crews will be spray patching most of the year and managing salt supplies carefully to keep up with repairs and future winters.
   

• This Wisconsin Train Ride Is One Of The State's Most Magical Little Adventures (takingthekids.com) — A scenic heritage train just outside Spooner offers family pizza rides, elegant dinner excursions, and even an overnight bed-and-breakfast experience along historic tracks by the Namekagon River. Because trips are about two hours, locals can easily pair a ride with other Spooner-area plans, from photographing restored locomotives to exploring nearby Northwoods scenery in any season.
