Good morning, Oshkosh.

After VenuWorks took over last August, the Oshkosh Arena expanded its events with a concert, an upcoming boxing match on Saturday, and plans to upgrade the Wisconsin Herd season with new food offerings and ticket packages.

The arena is under a five-year contract with Bayland Buildings and is set to host fall shows—like concerts by Kansas and Blue Öyster Cult—to offer more variety.

Northeast Wisconsin Technical College joined the Aspen Institute College Excellence Program’s expanded Unlocking Opportunity network on Tuesday — the initiative will bring together 55 colleges over three years to reform programs that help students earn credentials leading to good jobs.

County executive Gordon Hintz said the board will hear a presentation Tuesday night on a half-percent sales tax designed to help cover rising expenses — county board vice chairman Chuck Farey noted that a structural budget deficit makes the issue more urgent.
