Gift shopping is a gamble. Despite all of your best efforts, your “perfect gift” may end up back on the store shelf hours after the package is unwrapped.
Given that even the best presents sometimes get returned or exchanged (think issues with size, color, style, etc.), planning ahead can be a great help to a gift recipient.

Sugar River Euchre

Submitted by admin on Wed, 12/20/2017 - 8:45am

Thirty-two players congregated at Norsk Golf Club in Mount Horeb for the Sugar River Euchre League Mid-Winter Tournament last Thursday night. With the outside temperature dipping to 9 degrees, it was still warmer outside than the cards held by Leo Humphrey and Harold Grabandt's first game because they received a skunk right out of the gate at the hands of Janice Magnuson and Barb Judd. However, their 88 points for the evening did not survive as the low score; with just 83 points, that honor went to Mary Humphrey and Larry Losenegger.
