With spring now upon us, a group of local residents have their eyes set on beautifying our community with public art. During this month's Village of Denmark monthly board meeting, members from Denmark Connects presented their vision of some potential public art installations and their plans to make them a reality.

This past weekend, bargain hunters and deal seekers across our area rejoiced as the 2026 rummage sale season kicked off with the yearly sales in Maribel.

With the weather finally warming up, running season is upon us at last. This year, a group of dedicated students and their teachers are once again coming together after school to train for the area’s most prestigious run. Last week, we spoke with Denmark Elementary School (DES) teacher Connie Davister to learn more about this year’s Bellin Run Club in Denmark.

Earlier this month, five Denmark High School (DHS) students faced off with their peers from across the state in public speaking and acting at this year’s Wisconsin Forensics Coaches Association (WFCA) State Tournament.

Last Wednesday, ten Denmark students and three members of Denmark American Legion Post 363 ventured to Green Bay for this year’s Brown County American Legion Youth Government Day.

During Saturday’s Bellevue Rummage Sales, 9th Street Wellness Center hosted a Flood Relief Donation Drive. Organizers collected personal care items, non-perishable food, new and gently-used clothing and children’s necessities for victims of the historic flooding earlier this month. The center will host another drive on May 9 from 9 a.m. until 2 p.m. during their first Farmers Market of the Year.

For this year’s The Denmark News Spring Home & Garden section, we teamed up with a local lawn and garden and motorsports expert just to our south. For decades now, TA Motorsports has been serving the motorized recreation and landscaping needs of the greater area from their home base in Francis Creek. Last week, we spoke with TA’s Rich Rothmund to learn more about all they have to offer.

During last Monday’s Denmark School Board meeting, multiple district staff members utilized the proceeding’s Public Forum portion to raise concerns about the handling of the recent data breach that has reportedly resulted in numerous employees experiencing identity fraud.

Last week, much of Wisconsin, and the midwest as a whole, was inundated with excessive rainfall and stormy conditions that led to high water and flooding in numerous locations. 

This Friday, Saturday and Sunday, the Denmark High School (DHS) Performing Arts Center (PAC) will be the site of chaos and hilarity as this year’s spring play takes the stage for three performances. “Play On!” by Rick Abbot will leave audiences rolling in the aisles with laughter as they watch a dysfunctional fictional theater troupe attempt to stage a doomed production. 

Congratulations to the 2026 DHS Prom King Donald Ledden and Queen Lily Kapinos! The royal couple were crowned by 2025 Prom King Tynan Conway and Queen Ella Ovsak and ruled over Saturday night’s dance in the school atrium with their court.

On Saturday, Denmark Boy Scout Troop 1052 teamed up with fellow youth from the Girl Scouts, Cub Scouts and Leos for this year’s “Scouting for Food: Spring Edition”. Along with some adult volunteers, they collected non-perishable food items from across the Village and helped restock the Denmark Community Cupboard’s shelves for the season.

Last Tuesday, the Denmark Treble Makers took the stage for their annual concert to a packed house in the DHS PAC. Led by Director Tammy Carley and assisted by Donna McMonagle, the young singers performed a variety of fun songs including “Raining Tacos”, “Green Eggs and Ham” and “TONGO”. Pictured are this year’s Treble Makers members posing with Carley on the PAC stage. (Photo courtesy of Tammy Carley)
