WAUSAU — Are you ready for some football (history)?
Join the Marathon County Historical Society for “Capturing the Packers: 75 Years of Biever Family Photography,” another topic in its History Speaks series, at 2 p.m. Oct. 6 at the Woodson History Center, 410 McIndoe St., Wausau. Speaker Matt Foss will highlight the work of Vernon Biever and his two sons, John and Jim, covering 75 years of Packers history.
