Maino and the Mayor

Nate Olson, a friend of the show and a leader in the community with Olson Legal Group, LLC in Oshkosh and Berlin, is back in the studio with the guys. He reminds us of his military service and talks a bit about the law he practices and some things his group can help clients with. He also shares great advice for end-of-life planning. We thank him for his involvement in the community and for his service to our country. Then we welcome the creative mind and community-minded Tavia Hopfensperger. She and her husband purchased the old fire station in Dale, and created Old Station 31 Spirits. Rob and Tavia explain what they do this way: from selecting premium ingredients and purest water to the meticulous milling, mash, fermentation, and distillation process, each step is a nod to tradition with a touch of modern artistry. With a family history in service to the community, their story AND their products, we're very thankful they joined us with the Maino & The Mayor Top Craft Pick Promotion. Make sure to vote for them!
