This morning, on the CBS affiliate television station in Minneapolis & Saint Paul (WCCO Channel 4), I noticed a thirty-second commercial for "Wisconsin Epic Vacations" that opened with video footage of the Michigan Island lighthouse, located just off the northern tip of Madeline Island!
[Michigan Island Lighthouse in the Apostle Islands, Ashland County, Wisconsin]
It turns out that the commercial was intended to promote tourism on behalf of Lambeau Field, home of the Green Bay Packers football team.
In addition to all the photos of Lambeau Field and the Packer Hall of Fame Museum, plus photos of "keeper-size" fish jumping next to a boat, the Apostle islands photo leads off the 30-second spot. It was a curious tie-in, but certainly a welcome one.
The Wisconsin Department of Tourism folks seem to be paying more attention to the Apostle Islands these days!
A second home is an affordable luxury.
Discover why a vacation retreat on Lake Superior is the ultimate indulgence!
