AGP Executive Report

Last update: 8 hours ago

SS Badger Season Kickoff: Wisconsin’s iconic Lake Michigan ferry, the National Historic Landmark SS Badger, opened its 2026 run Friday—departing Ludington at 9 a.m., reaching Manitowoc by noon, then heading back at 2 p.m. for a 7 p.m. return. Weekend Plans: Opening-weekend festivities in Manitowoc included food vendors, and Saturday brings documentary screenings in Ludington plus a Q&A with the director and Badger historians. Road Updates: DOT construction is set for Pierce County (WIS 65/US 10 culvert work with detours and closures) and St. Croix County (spot lane repairs and overlays on WIS 35/64 and WIS 64). Travel Caution: Buc-ee’s Benton (Arkansas) is inching toward a late-summer opening, and local rules are already raising questions about overnight RV parking—worth noting for anyone planning a road trip. Health Watch: Tick bites are spiking again, with ER visits for tick bites at their highest for this time of year since 2017.
