• Standing tall in the rotunda: The 2025 Wisconsin State Capitol holiday tree (madisoncommons.org) — Green Bay gets a subtle spotlight in this year’s Wisconsin State Capitol Holiday Tree, grown just 40 miles north in Gillett and celebrated by Green Bay West High School teacher Eleanor Hinz-Radue at the lighting ceremony. The 2025 “Learning Tree” honors school staff statewide, with thousands of student-made ornaments and a theme tied to Gov. Tony Evers’ Year of the Kid initiative.
