Good morning, La Crosse.

The La Crosse County Salvation Army is ending Angel Giving Tree registration on Friday, giving families a final chance to sign up for donating toys or clothing to local children.

The names of the recipients will be placed on tags attached to Christmas trees at area businesses so that someone can pick up a gift and deliver it in December — a program that typically sees hundreds of families participate.

Yesterday, the new BGC Lyche club held a ribbon cutting ceremony at Onalaska Middle School—its opening created a new space for youth programs and community activities that local families could explore.

Allegiant Airlines will add nonstop flights from La Crosse Regional Airport to airports near Phoenix and Orlando in 2026—offering new travel options for local residents.

La Crosse Regional Airport will soon welcome a new airline—details on routes and schedules are still pending.

The service is expected to broaden travel options for local residents.

An interview on GLADC’s 15th Annual Diversity Conference was published November 18, featuring organizers discussing diversity topics—details from the conversation highlighted the event’s focus on inclusion.
