On April 16th, Gov. Evers stated that at 8:00 a.m., on April 24, public libraries could begin offering curbside pickup of books and other library materials. The public libraries in New Glarus, Monticello, and Belleville will soon begin offering this service.

April 23 is National Lost Dog Awareness Day

Submitted by admin on Wed, 04/22/2020 - 8:19am

On April 23, the U.S. will celebrate National Lost Dog Awareness Day (NLDAD). This canine-focused awareness day was created by Lost Dogs of America in 2014 to bring attention to the many dogs who go missing from their homes every day. We are proud that some local rescues and shelters use NLDAD as an opportunity to schedule events focused on lost dogs, such as low cost microchipping. Shelters and rescues can download graphics to use at https://lostdogsofamerica.org/awareness-day/.

Arbor Day Tree Planting Cancelled in New Glarus

Submitted by admin on Wed, 04/22/2020 - 8:18am

The Arbor Day tree planting day this spring in New Glarus has been cancelled.
“Due to the risk involved, we did not want to put volunteers or homeowners at risk to plant the trees. We do still plan to plant 13 new trees in the downtown to replace the ones that were removed this winter, and we will plant a few new trees in Hoesly Park,” said Village Forester Paul Jennrich. “I will work with the Public Works department to plant the trees so we do not need to risk any volunteers’ health.”

Our community will be celebrating 175 years as a settlement this summer. Founded in 1845 by a group of Swiss Glarners, New Glarus has held strong to traditions. One of the most obvious and appreciated is the beautiful flowers adorning homes, businesses, parks, street corners and more. Visiting Switzerland or seeing photos and postcards one can’t help but notice the overflowing containers of blooms.
