Green County Fall Nationals September 24

The smell of fall in the air means one thing to Mark Hawthorn. It’s pulling time! Hawthorn, of Monticello, founded the Green County Fall Nationals Truck and Tractor Pull to combine his passion of tractor pulling with an opportunity to give back to Green County residents who suffered financial hardship through illness or tragedy. He is amazed that what was originally planned as a one-time event in conjunction with Farm Progress Days in 2006 would still be going strong 16 years later.

Lettman Completes Eagle Scout Project

Following the summer of 2021, after a year of creating a detailed Project Proposal and Fundraising Proposal that were approved through the Mohawk Council, I proceeded to raise about $5,000 needed for the project from area businesses and individuals. Then, after creating a detailed Project Plan that also needed Council Approval, came the hands on work in the fall of 2021 by personally showing my leadership of implementing the work. My project was to create a 506 foot long by 6 foot wide gravel and crushed granite path walking path north of the Belleville pool.

Turned Back at Turner as NGM Slips to 0-3

In keeping with the WIAA’s (apparent) theme of using distance and travel to discourage attendance at away games, and boundary-limited by only the “Cheddar Curtain”, NGM was compliant as they made the trek to Beloit for a game with the Trojans of Beloit Turner. The Trojans, having won their first two games by a margin of 90-8, are a team with a high octane offense. Apparently someone forgot to tell NGM, as they played their hearts out to a 0-0 draw at the close of the first half.
