We explore the burning question, "Where exactly is up north Wisconsin? How would you know if you’ve been there?" Along with all of your wonderful stories, poems, successes, encouragement, and a message from Vice President Laurie Scheer, Thomas Dunne has sent some great pictures too, and Kim Suhr of Red Oak Writing offers sage advice. Enjoy the June 2024 edition of Creative Wisconsin.
