Hello Bob,
Any news on which PBS stations will carry the parade this year? BizTimes has a story about it being in Hi-def, but no listing of pbs stations.
Can't believe that no one has come forward to help with money for next year. Somebody doesn't understand the economic impact that all this brings to Milwaukee.
P.J.,
I can only hope that it will air locally. It serves no purpose to just air in the Milwaukee area.
The Converstaions that were held last year at the CHS convention has the parade on a potential once evry 5 years schedule. Here's hoping!
Bob
