The New Glarus Brewing Company wanted to let pet owners know that on Saturday, August 26th, there will be fireworks near the brewery’s Hilltop facility. Some pets can become frightened or disoriented by the sound. The brewery will be closed for an employee party but the fireworks will be easily viewed from the village of New Glarus.

At the American Legion Department Convention in Appleton, WI, New Glarus was awarded the National American Legion Post Excellent Award. Stuessy-Kuenzi New Glarus Post #141 received the National American Legion Post Excellence Award for their activities in the four pillars of service. These pillars of service include Veteran Assistance and Rehabilitation, National Defense, Children and Youth, and Community Service. This is the seventh consecutive year that the post has won this award. The award was presented by State Commander Dan Seehafer to Post Commander Steven Hodgson.
