The all-new season of Wisconsin Life on PBS Wisconsin takes viewers on a trip around the state to visit their neighbors and uncover their unique stories.
Twig’s Beverage in Shawano is featured in the season premiere of Wisconsin Life on PBS Wisconsin 7 p.m. Oct. 9 and will also be available to stream online at that time from anywhere at www.pbswisconsin.org/wilife and on the free PBS app on all streaming devices and smart TVs.
Host Angela Fitzgerald connects the audience with people whose passions, experiences and expertise celebrate the best of Wisconsin. New episodes will continue to air into January.
Twig’s Beverage has been a staple in Shawano for more than 75 years, bottling Sun Drop and other craft sodas since the early 1950s. Today the Hartwig family is preserving Twig’s history one bottle, one case and one memory at a time.
This season, Fitzgerald crosses the state to explore Interstate Park in Polk County, Frank Lloyd Wright’s Taliesin in Spring Green, Bookworm Gardens in Sheboygan, Jelli’s Market in Helenville and more. The Wisconsin Life team also discovers and introduces creative and innovative people from all parts of the state and all walks of life.
