2 • Milwaukee County Post • November 24, 2017 Post Staff MILWAUKEE — AAA projects 50.9 million Americans and more than 1 million Wisconsinites will journey 50 miles or more away from home over the long Thanksgiving week- end, the most in 12 years, according to a news release. Based off of economic forecasting and research by IHS Markit, the projections suggest 1,056,000 Wisconsinites will travel 50 miles or more, an increase of nearly 35,000 people. The majority of the Badger State's travelers, more than 945,000, will get around using the road. Another 82,000 Wisconsinites are expected to take to the air. Nationally, AAA said the traffic over the holiday will increase 3.3 percent from 2016 — 1.6 million more will take to the roads, skies, rails, and waterways. "Thanksgiving kicks off the start of what will likely become the busiest holiday season in more than a decade," said Vicky Evans, assistant vice president of Travel Sales Development at AAA. "A strong economy and labor market are gener- ating rising incomes and higher consumer confi- dence." These factors should help fuel consumer spend- ing, she said. ST. FRANCIS — The St. Francis Christmas Parade will take place at 4 p.m. Dec. 2, featuring a nonperishable food collection for St. Fran- cis/Cudahy Project Concern.
