It is hard to believe it's been one whole year since I started my journey as the 2015-2016 Monticello Dairy Queen. The crowning has led me to meet so many amazing people along the way whom I will never forget. Being the Monticello Dairy Queen has given me the opportunity to impact the public by promoting Monticello, Green County and Wisconsin - its products, agricultural history and traditions.

Public Safety Awards Presented

Submitted by admin on Tue, 05/31/2016 - 12:06pm

The Stuessy-Kuenzi New Glarus Post #141 American Legion recognizes two public safety members of our community. Each year, local posts are encouraged to recognize public safety personnel for their service to the community. While the program is also a competition that recognizes Law Enforcement Officers, Firefighters, Emergency Medical Technicians and Enlisted Guardsman/Reservists at County, District, State and National levels, it is primarily a program which honors those folks for doing their jobs 24.7, and protecting the citizens of our community.
