Rate This Perfect Day in Madison… and Chicago
Do you have family or friends visiting for Labor Day weekend? Where do you take them to show off Madison? Or maybe you’re hoping to squeeze in a quick getaway this weekend and you’re looking for some ideas? We got you.
We thought we’d wager a friendly bet with our friends at City Cast Chicago. We asked our friend, host Jacoby Cochran, to plan a perfect day in our fair city. And then, OF COURSE, we had to offer our ideas for an ideal day trip to Chicago.
What do you think? Leave us a voicemail at 608-318-3367 or email madison@citycast.fm. We’re also on Instagram.
