What's in a shirt: "Wicked Good Vibes" screen printing processSubmitted: 04/24/2018
WAUSAU - A t-shirt's unique design starts somewhere.

For one Wausau woman, it is right in her basement home studio.

It's all handwork and a green machine press for self-taught screen printer Britnie Remer and her business, Wicked Good Vibes.

Intrigue got Britnie started back in 2015.

It was a trial and error process at first.

"It gave me time to grow into what I wanted to be and figure out what it was that I wanted to do specifically," says Remer.

Things started to pick up when she sold at her first market in Iowa a couple of years ago.

"It kind of opened doors to all these new potential customers I didn't know about."

She sometimes spends 15 or 16 hours screen printing in her home studio.

Wicked Good Vibes has pretty much shipped to every single state, and even a couple of places in Europe.

"Every single order that I get, even here in Wausau... I am so thankful and so surprised every day."

RHINELANDER - Lined with shotguns and rifles while deer mounts dot the wall above, the north wall of Mel's Trading Post in Rhinelander shows how important deer hunting is to owner Mitch Mode, part of his business that could take a hit after last week.

"It pretty much puts it right in your face and you've gotta deal with it," Mode said.

April 20, the DNR reported the first positive test of Chronic Wasting Disease in a wild deer in Oneida County, specifically in the town of Crescent, within ten miles of a positive CWD test in a wild deer in Lincoln County from January.  Mode hunts on land not far from the positive test.

MOSINEE - From here on out, Mosinee's Kevin Osterbrink will plow snow with a Stormy Kromer hat on his head--and a Stormy Kromer pattern on his plow.

Osterbrink entered his wife, Kayla Cisler-Osterbrink, in a prize drawing from Stormy Kromer and BOSS Snowplow. Her entry won, and BOSS delivered the red plaid patterned snowplow on Friday in Mosinee.

"I was tapping maple trees, and my wife showed up and said I had some homework to do because she won the plow," Osterbrink said, remembering how he found out they won.

"The first thing I told her was, 'That's the last thing I need, more work to do.' She said, 'Well, I think you want to do this, because you just won the Stormy Kromer plow," Osterbrink said.

"We got by for 25 years doing what we were doing," said Hanson's Garden Village Co-owner Brent Hanson.

Last weekend's spring snow storm set back Hanson's.

"We thought we were ahead of schedule having that greenhouse nice and filled," said Hanson's Manager Beth Hanson. 

"One bad storm and there you go. Things happen," said Brent.

"For years we've gotten by with these lighter cheaper green houses," said Brent.
