Weekly Breakdown
Good morning ☕
The Driftless Tribe is 5,000 strong! That’s enough people to pack The Sylvee in Madison twice over standing-room only. What started as a simple idea to connect our Driftless communities has grown into something bigger & faster than we imagined. Thanks for being part of it.
And we are just getting started! We really appreciate everyone that has subscribed, commented, or replied to us. Anyways, lets get on with this weeks newsletter..

Platteville Trivia 🙌
Platteville is home to the world’s largest hillside letter, a giant “M” — what did the “M” originally stand for?📍 Hint: It’s tied to UW-Platteville’s earliest roots. |
