Rhinelander’s own Hodag statue at the chamber of commerce building is featured on the cover of the Fall 2012 edition of Wisconsin Journeys magazine.

Wisconsin Journeys is a Wisconsin travel guide published three times annually and includes a forward by Wisconsin Dept. of Tourism Secretary, Stephanie Klett. Its 35,000 free copies are distributed in locations spanning much of the state.

“We always strive to use a photo emblematic of an iconic Wisconsin location or event on the cover of each edition, and the Hodag certainly fits that criteria,” said the magazine’s editor, Timi Eckes.

“I’ve always considered the Hodag one of the great family photo opportunities in the state,” added publisher Pete Daniels.

The magazine is available at dozens of locations in Rhinelander including the Rhinelander Area Chamber of Commerce (450 West Kemp Street, Rhinelander) and the Star Journal office (24 West Rives Street, Rhinelander).
