Listen "w/Frank Carmichael"
Episode Synopsis
Behind all the great things Kenosha has to offer, there are many people behind the scenes who bring these things for life. And for over 50 years, Frank Carmichael has been one of those people. From his early days as a popular Tremper student, to becoming a movie theater owner by age 20 and a magazine publisher not long after, Frank has always asked the question, “What is there to do in this town?” and responded with options. Currently, Happenings Magazine is approaching its 49th year providing the area with free weekly print entertainment; the Kenosha Comedy Club continues to bring top notch entertainment to Downtown Kenosha, and music festivals like Peanut Butter & Jam, Tribute Island, and Cheese-A-Palooza rock our town. And we forgot to mention he is also the operator of the Lakeside Deck at Wyndham Garden. And, he hosts a radio show with his wife, Kim along with Reanna weekdays from 9am - 11am on AM1050 WLIP (streaming at wlip.com) What doesn’t Frank do? Not much, you will learn as we connect with Kenosha icon Frank Carmichael. To find out all about the upcoming events, flip through this week’s copy of Happenings Magazine.
