Things to do in Madison, WI: March 28-April 3
Hi there,
There are two things that I would like to share with you.
- Easter egg hunt list. Shoutout to Madison Mom for creating the definitive guide to local easter egg hunts.
- This super cool video of winter in Wisconsin. You might recognize Sam Li's name if you've been on the Madison Minutes email list for a while. He just released a video with some beautiful shots of winter in Wisconsin. Many of the clips are from the Madison area. It kinda feels like a hype video for the whole state?
I hope you have a great week!
- Sam
