No One Yells 'Fore' Anymore

What happened to Brodhead's Decatur Lakes Golf Course? The first six holes opened in 1926, and over the years expanded to a full eighteen and a club house which became a favorite of graduation parties and class reunions. Unfortunately, this local gem struggled and folded. A community group purchased nine holes to turn into a nature preserve and establish large prairie plots. A private couple purchased the other nine with the idea of allowing weddings and community activities.

New Glarus Chamber of Commerce Festival Tip Program

The New Glarus Chamber of Commerce has launched a new giveback initiative called Chamber Cheers, where non-profit organizations that commit to providing all bartenders and token sellers for a specific festival shift will receive all of the tips donated during that shift. This will give local groups extra facetime with the public, free publicity, and of course, a financial boost. In 2019, the Chamber of Commerce tested the program with three different local groups, and the groups earned a combined total of over $2,000 in just five shifts.
