July 2018

Dear Editor,
In a four-square block section of downtown New Glarus there are, if my count is correct, sixteen flagrant violations of a state of Wisconsin statute enacted for the safety of pedestrians and motorists.
From 6th Avenue at Railroad Street, west up 6th Avenue to 2nd Street, then north on 2nd Street to 4th Avenue, hence to the east again to Railroad Street. Counting all the blocks and streets bounding and within this four-block area are to be found the above-mentioned violations.

Hello everyone, my name is Danielle Schneider. I am the 2018 Green County Fairest of the Fair. I am the daughter of Dan and DarLyne Schneider. I grew up on a small farmette south of Monroe. I have one more semester at Blackhawk Technical College. I will be graduating with an Associate's Degree in Agribusiness Science and Technologies. After I graduate I plan to find a job in international commodity grain sales. Being involved in 4-H and FFA, I had always looked forward to what the fair has to offer for the youth.
