CRANDON - We normally go to concerts to enjoy music or see our favorite bands live.
But last night’s concert had a little something extra.
This concert was meant to raise awareness on Lyme disease at Crandon High Scool.
Sue Reeder was recently diagnosed with the disease, 15 years after being diagnosed with multiple sclerosis.
"I always felt like there was something not quite right with that diagnosis," Reeder said.

WI Not Likely to Go the Way of Other States on Gay Marriage
|
Submitted: 05/18/2013 |
|
MADISON - Wisconsin's neighbor Minnesota may have become the 12th state in the country to legalize same-sex unions on Tuesday.
But gay marriage is not on the legislative agenda in Wisconsin, and that's not expected to change in the near future.
University of Wisconsin-La Crosse political scientist Joe Heim tells Post-Crescent Media national public opinion seems to lean toward gay marriage but he doesn't see Wisconsin joining that group soon.
Wisconsin's constitution, unlike Minnesota's, bans same-sex marriage.
In November 2006, nearly 60 percent of Wisconsin voters supported an amendment banning gay marriage.
Before Wisconsin lawmakers could consider a bill to allow gay marriage, voters would have to pass an amendment undoing the 2006 amendment language. But before that the Legislature would have to pass the amendment in two consecutive sessions.
