WAUSAU, WI (WSAU) -  Take a good look at the picture, because one of Wausau's premier event facilities is about to become history.

The Rose Garden in Wausau is making a big change to their business. Owners have decided to close the banquet hall but continue the catering operation.

They say the decision to close the banquet hall was a hard decision after 19 years, but it was the right decision to help meet their customers' needs.

The Rose Garden ballroom will close by the end of January. They will open a new catering facility on Wausau’s Sherman St.
