Infinity Wood Floors supplies the flooring for the Milwaukee Art Museum addition

We have all been anxious for snow, but I doubt that the men in this picture thought very highly of the white stuff. This certainly wasn't as much fun as snowmobiling or cross- country skiing. This old photo comes from the Wabeno Logging Museum collection. The year was 1921, and was on the C&NW. A caption on a different picture of this mess says there was no train to Wabeno for eight days. This could cause store shelves to get empty, as everything came to the Northwoods in those days by rail. Laona Lions 4th Annual Predator Hunt and Fundraiser January 9th The Laona Lions will be holding their 4th Annual Predator Hunt and Fundraiser on Saturday, January 9, 2016 at Mudslinger, in Cavour.

104 years ago, men in Wabeno got up in the morning and went to work at Jone's Lumber Co. Some of them worked on the hot pond that cleaned the logs and allowed the workers to push them to the sawmill, where they were turned into lumber that was shipped by rail to customers around the nation. I'm sure the men who toiled in the mill didn't look at there job as a service to the nation, but never-the-less, it was. It will never be known how many people who have restored a beautiful, old, vintage home somewhere without thinking about how that beautiful hardwood trim had its beginnings in this pond!

This year marked the sixth consecutive year team members at Potawatomi Carter Casino Hotel donated toys for local area children. The team members once again showed an outpouring of generosity, donating 743 toys. As in years past, the Management team at Potawatomi Carter Casino matched the average value of the toys and used that money to fill the local food pantry and to purchase winter jackets and snow pants for area youth. After emptying a trailer full of toys at Associated Bank in Crandon, managers and team members went to Schaefer’s and filled that trailer back up with food and other items for the local food pantry. Along with the toy drive, shopping for the food pantry and winter clothing purchase, Potawatomi Carter Casino Hotel also ran a food drive with their loyal patrons during the month of November. Through that, over 3,500 nonperishable food items and additional turkeys helped fill three additional food pantries in the area. “I am so proud of our Team Members and thankful for our guests who participated in our efforts this year. It’s very overwhelming that after six years of doing this for the community; we still have so much support. It is wonderful to be able to give back during the holiday season,” Frank Shepard, General Manager.
