SPOONER, WI -- Spooner, Wisconsin, is not only up north — it’s up near the top of co-hosts John McGivern and Emmy Fink’s “love it here” list! It could be Spooner’s fascinating railroad past or the terrific outdoor recreation here now. It could be because McGivern experienced his first rodeo in Spooner. But, it’s probably top of the list because of all the Mayana Chocolate they ate!
Watch the broadcast premiere of the Spooner episode of John McGivern’s Main Streets at 7 p.m. Thursday, April 3, on PBS Wisconsin and streaming on the free PBS app.
Produced by Plum Media, this episode is part of the fourth season of John McGivern’s Main Streets, in which actor, comedian and television host McGivern and co-host Fink travel the Upper Midwest to celebrate the people who live there and the unique attractions, history and businesses of each community.
