Good morning, Wausau.

Ron Hay, a local ceramic artist, has crafted nearly 2,000 bowls for the Empty Bowls fundraiser to support food security—his work reflects decades of dedication.

The bowls will be on display at Granite Peak's Sundance Chalet on Sunday, Oct. 11 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.

Leigh Yawkey Woodson Art Museum is hosting a free community weaving event today from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. in its Glass Box Studio, where visitors learn about Mexican weaving traditions and create mini-weaves with instructions provided in English (and Spanish) to celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month.

Farmers report warm mid-October temperatures as harvest work continues while drought remains in parts of northern and western regions, according to UW Extension.

Rainfall is expected soon in the northwest, and producers adjust plans for soybean and corn progress.

Wausau East rallied from an early deficit on Friday to defeat the Hodags 25–21 in Rhinelander; the team improved to 6–2 (their playoff hopes remain strong) as they gear up for next week's game against Merrill.
