Say it ain’t snow. This year could be a doozy for a winter in the Midwest. A fairly strong La Niña weather pattern could mean that the coming winter will be colder and wetter and perhaps snowier across much of Wisconsin, according to forecasters.

The Maribel Caves Hotel was built in 1900 by Charles Steinbrecker, an Austrian immigrant, who modeled the hotel on resorts from his home country. The hotel was even built in a style reminiscent of his home country, a style not as familiar in the United States which gave it an old world appearance.

After last week's amazing Veterans appreciation program at Denmark Middle School, both Denmark Elementary School and Denmark High School had some rather large shoes to fill if they wanted to put together presentations that were just as  moving and heartfelt for Veterans Day.

On election day last Tuesday, voters in the Denmark School District were asked to decide on two very important referendum questions regarding the present and future of the district.  The first question was to renew the current operational referendum at $925,000 annually through the 2025-2026 school year.

In case you noticed the dozens of squad cars from jurisdictions spanning the state that all assembled at the former Lake to Lake Factory last Tuesday and were wondering what was occurring, have no fear. The Denmark News was on the case.

On Wednesday, November 9, the Denmark Senior Center hosted a fundraiser "haystack dinner" for the public at their center on Highridge Avenue. For those, like this reporter, who never heard of a "haystack dinner" before, let me give you a short explanation.

Think, a "walking taco" without the bag.

Every month, over 100 needy members of the Denmark community are provided with some necessary sustenance by the hard work and generosity of the Denmark Community Cupboard.

Soon after the village of Denmark was incorporated, the community began moving toward having electricity come to the village. At that time, electricity was in its infancy, and so the infrastructure had not yet been built.

Last Friday, the Denmark Middle School once again opened its doors to the community for an amazing and moving salute to all of those who have served our country.

In August, we told readers about a new kind of farm that has taken root just northeast of Denmark on Langes Corners Road. For more than three years now, Konopie Wellness has been providing customers with high-quality, organic hemp products at an honest price.

Next Tuesday, November 8, The Dillon Mueller Memorial Fund will be hosting two training sessions on how to properly administer Epi Pens to victims suffering from anaphylactic reactions. Anaphylactic reactions have been steadily rising for years. These reactions can be brought on by either food allergies or environmental allergies such as a bee sting.

Last Saturday from noon to two, the Denmark Middle School Parking lot was transformed into a Halloween wonderland with mountains of treats from a wide variety of “trunks” for hundreds of children from across the area and beyond.
