Returning guest Toni Mantei — also known as The Shed Queen of WI Backyard Sheds — joins the show along with Wautoma Police Chief Mott for a conversation centered around community, collaboration, and youth involvement.
The discussion focuses on the recent Kids Ice Fisheree, a community-driven event that brought together families, volunteers, local organizations, and businesses for a day on the ice. Toni and Chief Mott share their perspectives on how the event came together, what made it successful, and the impact it had on those who attended.
They also talk about what went really well, areas for improvement heading into next year, and how donations from the event are helping support the High School Hardwater Hornets Ice Fishing Team.
Throughout the conversation, they explore future opportunities for similar events and the potential for continued collaboration within the community — including ideas for hosting more events at the shed lot.
