Major clean-up begins following 2015 Hodag Country Festival

RHINELANDER - All good things come to an end eventually. Monday, the 39th annual Hodag Country Festival wrapped up.

Motor homes started leaving the grounds well before dawn Monday morning. Cleaning crews were right behind them starting to pick up the pieces. The Rhinelander Boy Scout Troop had members out helping with the cleanup.

"We're responsible for picking up all of the main field here where all the people are," said Patrick Baker, one of the many people helping with the clean-up. "Then we have to, when all the campers leave, we pick up the campsites too, whatever's left. This year is looking pretty clean in the campsites actually compared to previous years from what I've heard. It entails a lot of hard work, and a lot of energy."
