AUGUST | 2012
Dear :
Summer in Wisconsin is at its best right now, with fabulous weather beckoning us to get out and enjoy some sun and fun! But before August slips away and thoughts of back-to-school or cool fall days begin to form, take the time to make the most of a great Wisconsin getaway along our Great Lakes! From outdoor and waterfront festivals to thrilling recreational opportunities and one-of-a-kind attractions, there is plenty to fill these final days of summer in Wisconsin's Harbor Towns!
Sincerely,
The Wisconsin Harbor Towns Association |
