Waupaca tourism is proving to be a major economic engine. New data from the Wisconsin Department of Tourism shows visitors to the Waupaca Chain O’ Lakes area generated $180 million in economic impact during 2025. Tourism supported more than 1,180 jobs and produced over $11 million in state and local tax revenue. Waupaca Area Chamber and Visitor Bureau President Jeff Anderson says continued investment by local businesses, from downtown Main Street to the Chain O’ Lakes, is creating new attractions and experiences that draw visitors year after year. Officials say tourism growth continues to benefit local businesses, residents, and the regional economy. City officials in Waupaca are reminding residents that a feral cat trapping campaign near the Oman Street area will continue through the end of June. Live traps are being used to help address a growing feral cat population. Pet owners are reminded that cats and dogs must be leashed or kept on their property when outside. If a pet cat goes missing, contact the Humane Society of Waupaca County. Officials also warn that tampering with city-owned traps could result in fines. For questions, contact Code Enforcement Officer Dan Hansen at Waupaca City Hall. Looking for something fun to do today? The Waupaca Area Public Library is hosting an Instrument Petting Zoo from 1 to 3 p.m. today, giving people of all ages a chance to hold, explore, and try a variety of musical instruments. The no-cost, hands-on event is designed for anyone curious about music or interested in finding out which instrument might be right for them. The Instrument Petting Zoo takes place this afternoon at the Waupaca Area Public Library in the exhibit room.

The Waupaca Area Public Library is inviting the community to get up close with some of Wisconsin’s most fascinating birds of prey. Tomorrow at 1:30 p.m., the library will host a Raptor Education Show featuring wildlife educators and live avian ambassadors from Raptor Education Group Incorporated, or REGI. The interactive program will take place in the library’s downstairs meeting rooms and will focus on common, but rarely seen, raptors found across Wisconsin. The City of Waupaca is preparing to open its new Waupaca Business Center, a community hub designed to support entrepreneurs, remote workers, and small businesses. Located as part of the Recreation Center expansion, the facility will feature business suites, conference rooms, telehealth spaces, and high-speed internet access. City officials say the center is expected to open later this summer, helping foster economic growth and career development throughout the community.  More details and a survey are available on the city’s website, cityofwaupaca.org. Finally, Friends of Waupaca Parks is now seeking vendors for this year’s Fall-O-Rama fundraiser. The event is scheduled for Saturday, September 19th from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. at South Park, with the Waupaca Recreation Center serving as the backup location in case of bad weather. Organizers are inviting crafters and direct sales vendors with family-friendly products. Early registration pricing is available through August 17th, with vendor registration closing September 4th.
