Prior to their regular monthly meeting last Monday, the Village of Denmark Board of Trustees convened the municipal Sex Offender Registry Appeals Board to address a residency request within the Village. Due to the sensitive nature of this topic and out of concern for their family, we have elected to not include the name of the applicant or the address in question in this article.

During last week’s Village of Denmark Board of Trustees meeting, three local citizens were officially presented with Community Service Awards for their kindness and care during last month’s historic blizzard. The Denmark News has received a copy of the proclamation read at the meeting, and we would like to share it with our readers:

During last week’s Town of Cooperstown monthly board meeting, 2026 road projects were a major topic of discussion. Prior to the meeting, board members had taken part in this year’s Road Review to determine which stretches of municipal roadway were most deserving of attention. They presented their findings with a five-year projected timeline in a handout included in the meeting’s packet.

The Village of Mishicot experienced one of the greatest floods in years. With the rainstorm and thunderstorms in the early week of April 12-18, the East Twin River, along with Main Street and Washington, was flooded to the point where cars were not able to pass through. The Village of Mishicot was awarded a Public Safety Notice by Police Chief Granger to ensure the safety of individuals was well monitored. 

Last season was one for the record books for the Mishicot High School softball program. The Indians captured the Division 4 State Softball Championship, marking just the second state title in school history and cementing their place among the top teams in Wisconsin.

Students at Mishicot High School are putting math into action through the school’s innovative Geometry in Construction course. Now in its third year, the program continues to give students hands-on opportunities to connect classroom learning with real-world building projects. 

The Mishicot Lions Club was created in 1946 to help improve the lives of individuals in Mishicot and the surrounding communities. Club members have led and supported vision projects that attract the attention of the youth, hunger, the environment, diabetes, and more.

Last Tuesday, voters across the nation headed to the polls for spring elections. Locally, voters in the Denmark School District were asked to vote on an operational referendum and School Board member while those in the Village of Denmark cast ballots for Municipal Judge as well as three positions on the Municipal Board of Trustees. We have compiled the results to share with our readers.

For the last three months, a small and dedicated group at Denmark High School (DHS) have been working together to produce this year’s spring play. “Play On!” by Rick Abbot will take the DHS Performing Arts Center (PAC) stage on April 24, 25 and 26 with a cast of zany characters attempting to stage a doomed play-within-a-play.

Last weekend, multiple Village of Denmark residents reported incidents of attempted and successful vehicle break-ins throughout the municipality. The Denmark News looked through these reports and spoke with Denmark DEO Deputy Pigeon to learn more.

Last week, Denmark High School (DHS) Musical Theater received high praise and recognition on the state stage with a cast member’s nomination for a major award.

There is one word you are all but guaranteed to read in every issue of The Denmark News–volunteer. From community events, to school and church functions, to organizations and initiatives that serve others and everything in between, so much of what happens in our community happens because of dedicated and caring volunteers.

Our next stop on our trip through downtown Denmark of the past brings us to the large two-and-a-half story building that looms over Main Street from its perch straddling Green Bay and De Pere Roads. Today, the building hosts AOT Yoga in its lowest level and a number of apartments in the two floors above, but it has known a number of other uses through the decades.
