Annual Boundary Waters Trip - A Great Learning Experience, and Fun!

Submitted by admin on Wed, 09/06/2017 - 6:56am

Mrs. Smith's annual Boundary Waters trip included a lot of rain and more thunderstorms than the group preferred.
They didn't get to travel as far as they had hoped, but they still had a great time, stayed dry in their tents, and saw some beautiful views. 
They busied ourselves with numerous types of games, magic tricks, photo sessions, sketching, journaling, reading, uncontrollable laughing fits, and great conversations.

New Glarus Family Festival Celebrates 10th Year

Submitted by admin on Wed, 09/06/2017 - 6:50am

Ten years ago the members of Grace Church of New Glarus determined that they wanted to do something special for the people of New Glarus and the area communities. The outcome was a festival planned especially to provide an afternoon of enjoyment for every age and each family member. The most unusual factor about the New Glarus Family Festival would be that EVERYTHING WOULD BE FREE and no offerings received at the festival! The cost for the festival has risen in recent years to about $40,000, which the members of Grace Church have enthusiastically donated to make it possible.
