EDITORIAL - Four years and counting

This past week, I observed another milestone with The Denmark News as I marked four years working for the paper. The past 48 months have taught me so much about reporting, about my community and about myself, and I am forever grateful for the opportunity this job has turned out to be. For this week’s editorial, I would like to share some thoughts on this anniversary.

The Denmark News got a firsthand view of the mayhem to report back.

Keeping traditions alive

On Saturday morning, The Denmark News ventured out to Sugarbush to meet up with the members and supporters of the Titletown Threshing Club for this year’s local celebration of traditional farming. That day, the organization hosted their 15th Annual Thresheree on the Donald Jossart Farm where farmers of all ages came together to harvest “the old-fashioned way”.

"A great day for shooting"

On Sunday, clays and shots filled the air in the northeastern corner of town as local marksmen took part in a long-standing Denmark tradition. That day, the Denmark Rod & Gun Club presented this year’s 47th Annual Les Johnson Memorial Shoot with over 100 competitors facing off in top-notch trap shooting action. The Denmark News stopped by for the final rounds on Sunday afternoon to learn more.
