Hayward Shines on Final Day of Todd and Jane’s Road Trip

It’s the grand finale of Todd and Jane’s Civic Media summer road trip! And this day finds Jane Matenaer, Greg Bach, and Todd Allbaugh in Hayward, Wisconsin. Friendliness shines bright in this area. And both Matenaer on Air and The Todd Allbaugh Show are live from a new spot known as The Lot. It’s a former parking lot recently turned into a local gathering place in the heart of the city.

Radio veteran Mark Lundeen of local Civic Media radio stations 96.9 WBZH and Musky 101 in Hayward joins the shows. He shares stories from around the area, including how his Hawaiian shirts have become his signature style.

Chris Ruckdaschel of the Hayward Area Chamber of Commerce joins to spotlight why the Lumberjack World Championships are always a must-see event. And UW–Superior student Isaac Hansen shares insight on The Lot’s transformation into a beloved community space.

Hayward is a gem of the Northwoods. It’s a special place where friendly faces, vibrant downtown energy, and breathtaking natural beauty come together to create an unforgettable experience.
