The Northwoods United Way is close to it's annual giving goal and they're hoping a few more contributors come forward to help. Director Nancy Sattler...

"....we just completed our drive for 2016 and we came very close to meeting our goal. We're at 95 percent of what we had hoped to raise. There's still opportunity to give to the campaign. This year we are supporting 28 different agencies throughout Forest, Oneida and Vilas counties. We can always use your help in meeting our goal.."

"....this is our 12th annual tournament, held on Stacks Bay in Minocqua. Each year we continue to have a growing number of participants. Last year we had about 150 people that came out and helped support the United Wa and also a family fun day of fishing, food, door prizes and raffles...."
