November 2022

As the holidays approach, we want to extend our sincere appreciation to everyone who has generously supported Monticello’s Christmas Stocking Fund over the years! We are incredibly grateful for the organizations and families who are in a position to continue their financial support, especially during these emotionally and financially challenging times! The community’s support of the Christmas Stocking Fund has been truly remarkable, and it is just one more reason why Monticello is such a wonderful place to live!

On Thanksgiving morning, at approximately 10:30 a.m., Green County Deputies, along with New Glarus Fire Department, New Glarus Area EMS, and New Glarus Police Department, responded to the intersection of CTH J and CTH A, in the Town of York, for a two-vehicle crash with injuries. Investigation revealed that a vehicle operated by Kevin L. Hewitt, 67, Apple River, IL, was traveling eastbound on CTH A and turned northbound onto CTH J, when the vehicle was struck by another vehicle traveling southbound on CTH J.

The New Glarus Christkindli Market will return to downtown New Glarus December 2nd through 4th, 2022! This outdoor Christmas market will host 30 vendors offering a variety of high quality, locally made and sourced gifts, along with Christmas decorations and foods, all housed in wooden on-street chalets. Shop local and support small businesses, while enjoying holiday lights and music.

Throughout the month of December, residents and visitors to New Glarus will be able to view Adventsfensters throughout New Glarus. What is an Adventsfenster? In short, it is a life-size Advent calendar. Adventsfensters are common in the smaller towns and villages in Switzerland, and New Glarus resident Jacqueline Judd has brought the now yearly tradition to New Glarus. Up until Christmas (December 1-24), all over the village there will be 24 locations who will decorate one or more of their windows in a holiday/winter theme.
