We're going to Sheboygan

I should ask to go on this trip. I could go by where the radio station I used to work and Lotzo's, the bar to which our six person staff used to go.

But, it isn't a radio station and it's not Lotzo's anymore.

Anyway, this isn't about me.

Mead Public Library is offering children in kindergarten through fifth grade the opportunity to join a reading program sponsored by the Wisconsin Timber Rattlers minor league baseball team based in Appleton.

"Fang," the team mascot, will appear at Mead at 4 p.m., Wednesday, Feb. 4 in the Story Garden to meet fans.

Children who can read independently may sign up for the program at any time before the program ends March 21. Goals are set and children receive incentives from the Timber Rattlers. If a participant reaches all the bases and hits a "home run," he or she will receive a ticket to attend a Timber Rattlers game in April or May and a hot dog and soda voucher.

It's about the kids.
