When staging a play, there are always a multitude of things that could go wrong. The actors could forget their lines, the props could malfunction and the set could quite literally fall apart at the seams at any moment. Well, next weekend at the Denmark High School Performing Arts Center, all of the above, and much more, will happen and the best part is, it's all part of the show.

Last month, it was announced that Denmark native and renowned musician Danen Kane will be making a triumphant return to one of the largest Christian music festivals in the country this summer. In July, he will once again take the stage at Lifest in Oshkosh to share his talents and faith with a massive audience.

Last weekend, the world celebrated Easter Sunday with all its observances and traditions. Prior to the holiday itself, hundreds upon hundreds of youngsters from across the area got the chance to take part in many of their favorite parts of the season, the beloved Easter Egg Hunt. On Friday and Saturday, area families took advantage of a number of opportunities to enjoy the tradition thanks to the efforts of local volunteer organizations.

Last Tuesday, the audience in the Performing Arts Center at Denmark High School was transported back in time to the old west. That night, Denmark Elementary School 4th grade students presented “Go West!”, a musical celebration of America’s westward expansion, directed by DES music teacher Tammy Carley.

Last Weekend, Christians across the world commemorated Palm Sunday, celebrating Jesus's entering of Jerusalem and the beginning of Holy Week. In Denmark, Our Savior's Lutheran Church marked the occasion with a Fish Fry Fundraiser providing a delicious meal to-go for a great cause.

On Saturday, CZ's Bushville Lanes was teeming with action and filled with people supporting a great cause. That evening, the Denmark chapter of Wings Over Wisconsin held their annual Bowling Tournament and Meat Raffle at the acclaimed tavern featuring prizes for many and fun for all.

Last week, OneDenmark received some exciting news related to their efforts to obtain and renovate the current Early Childhood Center (ECC) into a community center when the district is finished using it later this year. On Wednesday night, the Brown County Board of Supervisors approved the community building organization, along with six other applicants, as recipients of a portion of $3.2 million set aside to help boost tourism in the county.

Last weekend, a fixture of the Denmark community celebrated a significant milestone of service. On Saturday, Lickety Splits opened its doors for the 20th year of providing top-notch sweet treats and more from their store in the heart of downtown Denmark.

Last Sunday, the Denmark Volunteer Fire Department hosted their annual spring booyah fundraiser at their station on North Wall Street. What sets this event apart is the fact that the delicious booyah is served “drive-up style” with customers lining up in the high school parking lot and proceeding to the fire station across the street when prompted by volunteers.

Last Friday, the Denmark High School FBLA hosted a unique fundraiser combining two unlikely partners --pancakes and basketball. That morning, the organization hosted "Dribble & Drizzle" in the school's atrium and gymnasium. 

Last Monday night, the Denmark School Board held their monthly meeting at 5 p.m. in the Denmark High School Media Center. The meeting differed from typical board proceedings in many ways and featured a number of special presentations including a demonstration from the school's robotics team and the announcement of this year's valedictorian and salutatorian.

Last Tuesday, the Town of Cooperstown held their monthly board meeting at their Town Hall in Rosecrans. Following the call to order, Pledge of Allegiance and the roll call that showed all members present, the board unanimously approved the night's agenda and the previous meeting's minutes before proceeding to the monthly reports.

The Maribel Community Center was host to a lengthy and, at times, chaotic assembly last Monday. That night, The Maribel Village Board held their monthly meeting with major topics including a proposed ATV/UTV ordinance and concerns over new houses being built in the municipality.

On Monday, March 11, the Village of Denmark held their monthly board meeting at Village Hall. Following the call to order, Pledge of Allegiance and the roll call showing all members present, the board moved on to comments from pre-registered citizens. This month, one resident who is running for Municipal Judge in the upcoming election presented the board with a number of requests to prepare for the transition following the election.

Last Wednesday, one and all were welcome to join together in the Parish Hall at Our Savior's Lutheran Church for an annual tradition built around bringing community members of all faiths together.
