RHINELANDER - At Hodag Country Fest, tradition keeps people coming back. And there's one not to be missed - at least if you want a good seat.
It's officially called the Chair Line-Up, unofficially the Chair Run. Music fans line up for hours before they're allowed to place their chairs in front of the stage.
Once claim is staked, the chair stays in that spot for the week. Sections are chosen by lottery. The holy grail: front row.
Newswatch 12's Lex Gray talked with fans in line and in that coveted front row space.
MINOCQUA - “This disease is called the great imitator for a good reason,” says Jeff Waite.
Lyme disease can be good at hiding.
“Lyme disease is a bacterial type infection spread by a spiral keet, which is also considered a parasite. And it can be carried in the spit glands and intestinal track of ticks in this area. Particularly the deer tick," said Dr. Kurt Landauer.
STATEWIDE - Camping in the Northwoods just got a little more high-tech, thanks to a new website and iPhone app. You can download the Northern Highland American Legion State Forest app on your iPhone.
The app lets you see what campsites are available, and reserve your spot online. It also gives information about trails and other activities in the area.
In the “old days” travelers could always call ahead about site availability, but by the time out of town visitors arrive, they might be full.
