STEVENS POINT, Wis. -- (WAOW) The Lincoln Center at the ADRC of Portage County aims to help the elderly and disabled in a variety of ways, one of them is the Holly Shoppe, a non-profit store that sells crafts made by seniors, to help the ones who made the crafts earn some money, and to make sure the center has a rainy day fund. One service they wanted to highlight was their day care center, which allows caretakers to drop off their elderly loved one for a few hours, or all day.

WAUSAU, Wis. -- (WAOW) With Election Day just weeks away, both parties are working endlessly to bring as many voters as they can to their side.
