Lake Geneva Canopy Tour Provides Team Building Experience for Real Milwaukee TV Personalities and Crew
Show Airs Thursday, June 9 on Milwaukee’s Fox 6

LAKE GENEVA, Wis. — (June 7, 2011) — When the Walworth County Visitors Bureau extended an offer to the hosts and crew of Fox TV’s Real Milwaukee to make Lake Geneva Canopy Tours the site of their team-building activities, they jumped at the chance. Real Milwaukee, which airs week-day mornings from 9 a.m.-10 a.m. on Channel 6 in Milwaukee, will feature their canopy tour team-building experience on their June 9th segment.

The Real Milwaukee team participated in a guided zipline canopy tour lasting approximately 2 hours. They experienced nature from a bird’s eye view as they zipped from tree to tree. Stops at observation platforms strategically located along the course provided the team with a chance to catch their breaths and enjoy the spectacular views of the forest, Lake Como and the surrounding countryside.

Participants from the show included hosts Katrina Cravy, Cassandra McShephard, Rob Hasswell, Nicole Koglin, Tony Clark, photographer Miles Cooksy, and web producer Amy Kant.

"We had a blast," Katrina Cravy sums up.
