YOU Make The Difference Initiative Underway And Fairs Find Insurance Essential

County fair season begins this week in Wisconsin.  One theme you'll hear is "You Make The Difference".  Jayme Butke, executive secretary of the WI Fair Association joins Pam Jahnke to talk about a national directive that all fairs are being encouraged to adopt.  It's about finding the next generation of volunteers and evaluating where your fair is going and what value it brings to the community, county, state.

Hot and sticky to start the week.  That's the summary from Stu Muck for Wisconsin weather.

Tina Peterson with Dairy Farmers of Wisconsin joins Charitee Seebecker to talk more about why these stories and connections matter.  Paid for by Dairy Farmers of Wisconsin.

In Wisconsin, fairs happen once a year.  There's a lot riding on a few days of good weather and community interaction.   What about those buildings that fairs use, and the uncertainty of the weather.  Can fairs protect themselves from these elements? Stephanie Hoff talks to Robert Holmes, the president of Spectrum Weather and Specialty Insurance. His clients are nationwide, but his roots are in the Upper Midwest. Robert grew up in Minnesota and then came to college in Wisconsin. He worked as a weather researcher at UW-Madison for eight years before starting his business. His job today is to help fairs protect their bottom line in case of a severe weather event or the countless other things that could go wrong.
