A rainy morning didn’t slow Santa and his reindeer from flying in from the North Pole to celebrate the season with kids and families at the annual Children’s Museum of Green Bay Breakfast with Santa
The fifth annual Breakfast with Santa took place at Mackinaws Grill and Spirts Saturday, December 9, 2023. The event featured standard breakfast fare as well as live reindeer, cookie decorating, letters to Santa, toy testing stations, hot chocolate, bird feeder building, face Painting and more!
Heather R. Heil is one of the organizers of the event and she says the idea for this unique celebration was started 5 years ago when the pandemic helped to refocus on how we serve our families; we hosted a drive-up breakfast and Santa hosted a drive-up breakfast at Mackinaws.
“There’s a lot of different Christmas events around town, and it’s hard to get to all of them. With the help of our partners, we try to bring all the fun to one spot!” says Heil.
2023 partners included: Mackinaws Grill and Spirts, Fox Communities Credit Union, Festival Foods, Green Bay Innovation Group, Alliance Construction and Design.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE December 5, 2023
(Green Bay, Wis.) The holidays are here and Green Bay Austin Straubel International Airport (GRB) is excited to unveil three uniquely designed trees to travelers and community members for the first annual Tree Lighting Ceremony on Wednesday, December 6 at 4:30 p.m.
Over the past two weeks, Green Bay West High School, 4th graders from King Elementary School and the Handmade Papermakers of Green Bay, Students of Aldo Leopold Community School (ALCS) have crafted exquisite holiday tree themes which will be displayed for holiday travelers.
“Watching the students and faculty of each of these schools come together to bring their designs to life has been truly amazing,” said Marty Piette, A.A.E., Airport Director. “Their stories and visions will bring smiles to our travelers, and they’ll learn something along the way.”
Green Bay West High School’s design includes fused glass snowflakes, uniquely crafted by students and staff to represent the individuality of each person that makes up our community. The snowflakes will adorn a 20-foot artificial evergreen stationed in the pre-security Grand Lobby of the airport.
4th Graders from King Elementary School brought the stories, history and culture of the Onedia Nation to their 10-foot artificial evergreen. Beadwork, language, custom ornaments and more will tell the story of what it means to Oneida Nation members. This tree will be seen by travelers going through Concourse A, post-security. Photos of the tree will be available for viewing during the ceremony.
Handmade Papermakers of Green Bay, Students of Aldo Leopold Community School (ALCS) used the history of our area’s papermaking to create handcrafted snowflakes for their 10-foot artificial evergreen. Their tree will be positioned post-security at Concourse B. Photos of this tree will also be made available during the ceremony for viewing.
“Sharing our area’s culture, history and creativity to all those that travel this season is a real treat,” said Troy Streckenbach, Brown County Executive. “It’s an honor to have these students take the initiative to come together to learn and create such beautiful pieces.”
The Tree Lighting Ceremony will take place in the Grand Lobby of the airport and will include a viewing and lighting of the Green Bay West High School’s “Crystalized” tree. For security reasons, Concourse trees will be unavailable to non-ticketed guests. Photos will be available for viewing of these trees at the ceremony.

Donations support the employment and recovery program at Apricity Contract Packaging (ACP). ACP partners with companies to provide contract packaging and assembly services for manufacturers who need additional resources, capabilities, or workforce. Apricity provides those impacted by substance use disorders a full spectrum of care including treatment, employment and support services in a safe, progressive recovery community.
“Before coming to Apricity’s Casa Clare residential treatment I was in inpatient treatment two times, prison treatment and outpatient treatments. Nothing seemed to stick, and I’ve had countless negative experiences with counselors.
Despite all this, I decided to give Apricity a try. I’m glad I did! The counselors were amazing. I could relate to them. They didn’t come off as thinking they were better than the patients they treated, like it was other places I tried getting help. I loved that some of the counselors had first-hand experience in addiction. They talk with and treat all clients like we are human beings, and the entire Apricity program gave me hope.
I am really grateful for the opportunity to have had treatment, then move through and work at Apricity’s Contract Packaging (ACP) job-training program. It is through ACP that I built my self-confidence and redeveloped a work ethic. I stayed working there for one year while living in Apricity’s Sober Living program, where I still live now and recently became the house manager for the new Ola sober living women’s house. It is through these recovery supportive programs that I not only received treatment but strengthened my recovery. It is here that I have been supported in reconnecting with family and repairing relationships I thought were lost. It is here that I learned coping and communication skills that really helps with life in the long run.
Apricity has taught me and showed me that recovery means a second chance at a life worth living. I am grateful for these many second chances to get where I’m today, because I feel like I have found a purpose in life. Apricity encouraged me to pursue my dreams, including someday going back to school, which I did! This fall I enrolled at Fox Valley Technical College to become a substance use counselor so that I can pay it forward. While going to school, I am now working part-time as a House Manager at Apricity’s Mooring House and Casa Clare residential treatment facilities, gaining hand-on experience working with clients and counselors. My hope in pursuit of this dream and my future was that I could come back to Apricity, so I could give back what I got. And, I am!”

MIKE GALLAGHER AND GUESTS: Strategies for protecting and enforcing intellectual property regarding
China: What Green Bay and Wisconsin business need to know.
We want to thank Mike Gallagher and his staff for moderating the CHINA IP ROAD SHOW in Green Bay.
Mike Gallagher serves as the 118th Congress as Chairman of the Select Committee on Strategic Competition Between the United States and the Chine Communist Party, as Chairman of the House Armed Services Subcommittees.
Subject: Green Bay and Wisconsin enterprises doing business in or with China overview and discussions of concerns with US Business and our Citizens by an outstanding panel of speakers.
Unfortunately, we are very intertwined with China and the need to de-coupe poses a major challenge to the United States. Our belief that bringing China into the world community would benefit ALL parties and the experiment has failed! In the 1990’s and 2000’s, the CCP Beijing was lobbing to join the World Trade Organization and did. The world embraced the China economy to support the Chinese people and secure lasting peace for the world. Unfortunately, the passage of the entry of China into the World Trade Organization has backfired at the expense of the Wisconsin and USA Manufacturing Industries. The rise of Xi Jinping and his brand of nationalism and dictatorship have blown apart the relationship with the United States.
We need to start bringing manufacturing back to the USA or countries that serve our best interest on a global scale. The BIGGEST area is the Paper, Pulp and Converting Industries across the United States. We must limit our adversaries from buying up our companies, water, and natural resources by the CCP and China State Supported Companies. We have seen major China and Asia based companies purchase Paper, Pulp and Forests at an unprecedented pace in the USA and world-wide while US Companies are struggling. It is time to BUILD BACK Wisconsin Paper and Pulp Industries and invest in Wisconsin’s future!
In our upcoming GBIG NEWS, we will provide an overview of the status of the Paper and Pulp Industries with the industry declining at an alarming rate. Wisconsin will have to decide the importance and impact of the Paper and Pulp Industry to the Wisconsin economy.
