Visitor Enjoys New Glarus Family Festival

Submitted by admin on Wed, 10/03/2018 - 4:07pm

Dear Editor,
It was a nice evening camping in the state park, except for the mosquitos, and the badger, who stole all of my food. I should have known better. It is customary to hang your food in a bag from a tree in bear country, but what about in southern Wisconsin? I didn’t give the question a second thought. And so, in the middle of the night, a badger stole all my food, which, ordinarily, wouldn’t be much more than a nuisance, except I’m traveling across the United States on a bicycle.

Dear Editor,
Time to end discrimination against Veterans and senior citizens and to make Monticello area whole again. In order to heal, we need the $160,000 that the Village of Monticello got for the sale of the Monticello Legion Home and Senior Center, and $40,000 from buyer, so we can buy a building for the Legion and Senior Center and the whole community of Monticello to use.
