## Description

Lumber once defined Eau Claire; today the freight that matters here is retail. Menards, the Midwestern home-improvement chain, runs its empire from this city at the confluence of the Eau Claire and Chippewa rivers, but its pallets move by road and rail, not by air. Chippewa Valley Regional Airport offers scheduled passenger flights without a dedicated cargo carrier. Regional air freight routes through Minneapolis–St. Paul (MSP), about 150 km west, or Milwaukee (MKE), with Interstate 94 providing the fast road link. The valley also gained fame through musician Justin Vernon's Bon Iver and the Eaux Claires festival.
