My idea of a good time is anywhere I can go with my son. Each weekend we pack in as much adventure as possible; from something as simple as a trip to Fleet Farm for a new inflatable (My six year old prefers to call them ‘up/downs’) to the creative-SpamTown USA in Austin, Minnesota. We visit family and friends and spend lots of quality time making memories.

Mid-March can bring just about anything weather wise. We find ourselves celebrating warmer spring-like temperatures, basking in the summer-like sun on Monday and then pulling out the snow boots the next day, as we brace ourselves for a bone-chilling blast of winter-like weather.

As another election day grows near, I once again find myself being irritated by the onslaught of advertisements for candidates begging for my vote. This is nothing new, every election brings with it campaigns advertising and although it annoys me in general, this year one race (and the attention paid to it) has particularly gotten under my skin.

  With all of the chaos happening in the world today, wouldn’t it be

something if it ended with an asteroid hitting the Earth this

century? There’s a chance it could happen; a small chance. The

Last week Wednesday, Wisconsin Governor Tony Evers unveiled his administration's proposed budget for the year. One major item included in the budget was $290 million in state money to be given to the Milwaukee Brewers for improvements to American Family Field (formerly Miller Park).

This weekend featured an annual charity event that is a yearly staple for many, and a personal favorite of mine. On Saturday and Sunday, WBAY hosted the 69th Annual CP Telethon, the longest running telethon in history that supports an amazing cause.

There’s just something about a hometown athlete. It brings people together. It’s fun to watch these phenoms create magic in a sport. To possess an ability and skill set to excite a crowd and bring pride to their town.

Despite what Puxatawney Phil saw (need I remind you of his shadow and the prediction of six more weeks of winter) and the imminent threat of snow storms through May...hope is on the horizon.

Over the past couple weeks, I have had the pleasure of helping assemble this year's FFA Special Section for the newspaper. In doing so, I have had the chance to see all the amazing things the Denmark FFA and FFA Alumni have been able to accomplish and provide over the last year through the awesome photos and articles that were submitted.

The Midwest. It’s known for its weather seasons, agriculture and friendly, hardworking, sports-loving people. We talk about the weather incessantly; tornadoes, heat and cold, winter storms, flooding, and so much more.

Many people have called our village home. They’ve gone beyond our Midwest neighborhoods and small town population to make a difference elsewhere.
