Herlitzka named Mrs. Oktoberfest

Mrs. O was busy last month with Steppin’ Out In Pink

The first woman to become a partner in one La Crosse law firm is the latest Mrs. Oktoberfest. 

Peggy Herlitzka was introduced as the 2015 Mrs. O during a dinner Tuesday night at the Cargill Room downtown. 

Herlitzka says a couple of previous Mrs. O’s sprang the news months ago by making her think she was going to take part in a mentoring project. 

Herlitzka has been in La Crosse since the late 1980s, practicing law at the Hale Skemp firm. She was busy earlier this month in organizing the Steppin’ Out in Pink fund-raiser.
