RHINELANDER - Plan on seeing a bigger St. Patrick's parade in Rhinelander. But be ready to bundle up too. Highs Saturday afternoon could be in the lower 20s at the 2 p.m. start time.
But snow or shine, parade organizer Jack Winkler told Newswatch 12 Saturday's parade will happen no matter what.
There will be more floats too. Winlker estimates around 45. That's 15 more than last year.
The route is the same as last year. Floats will start at Brown and Frederick and drive south down Brown.
EAGLE RIVER - The initiative will help to rebound what's thought of as a suffering walleye population by adding hundreds of thousands of the fish to Wisconsin lakes.
The project could improve fishing for the state's most popular game fish and tourism in the state. George Langely, a local fishing guide at Eagle Sports bait shop in Eagle River, says walleye fishing isn't what it used to be.
"The walleye population has pretty much suffered in the last twenty years and it's really nice to see Madison recognizing that and taking some steps to do something about it. It will take a while but it's a great start."
