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.

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.
