The commission's education project to revise the downtown walking tour is stalled waiting for a meeting with Downtown De Pere, but a prospective funder may support printed brochures, audio storytelling, plaques, and an annual event. The De Pere Historical Society is also installing roughly two dozen new researched signs that could tie into the tour.

The fire truck history education piece (program #1) is finalized and will be sent to the city's communications specialist for social media. The walking tour launch (program #2) starts in July, and Ald. Hansen will reconnect with Downtown De Pere's director to coordinate.
