Monday, Oct. 7, at the Sawyer County Economic Development & UW Extension Committee meeting, Cheryl Treland, the former president of the Hayward Lakes Visitor & Convention Bureau (HLVCB) and, a member of the Treland family that has owned Treeland Resorts for decades, offered the committee a history lesson of tourism for the county, and then responded to questions on where the industry is heading.
