As we gather with family and friends this Thanksgiving, all of us at DrydenWire want to extend our heartfelt gratitude to the readers who continue to make us Northwest Wisconsin’s most read online news outlet. This season reminds us to pause, reflect, and appreciate the people and moments that give our lives meaning. We are truly thankful for your trust, your engagement, and your continued support throughout the year.

Thanksgiving is a time built on gratitude, both for the blessings we can see and the ones that quietly sustain us behind the scenes. In a world that moves fast and demands much, taking time to acknowledge the good around us feels more important than ever. Whether you are celebrating around a crowded table, spending the day in the deer stand, traveling to see loved ones, or simply enjoying a quiet moment at home, we hope you find reasons to give thanks today and every day.

From our team to you and your families, we wish you a Thanksgiving filled with warmth, joy, and peace. May this season remind us of the importance of community, kindness, and the many gifts, big and small, that we are blessed with. May God’s grace be with you this holiday and into the coming year.

Happy Thanksgiving from all of us at DrydenWire.

Gratitude, community, and blessings from our family to yours across Northwest Wisconsin.
