Knights Ride Ponies to Easy Win

Submitted by admin on Wed, 12/21/2022 - 7:56am

Tues. Dec. 13: Rivalry games are usually hallmarked by that <i>“throw-the-book-out-the-window” </i>kind of electricity. In that regard, it’s safe to say this game was wanting, as New Glarus cruised/coasted to an easy 76-30 victory over the visiting Ponies. Such are the vicissitudes of small town athletics where the gleaning process of graduation can all but eviscerate a team.

New Glarus Blood Drive Exceeds Goal

Submitted by admin on Wed, 12/21/2022 - 7:45am

Dear New Glarus Community,
Thank you all once again for supporting the Community Blood Drive on that VERY cold and blustery winter day!
Nine Power Red donors with 18 units, as well as 52 whole units, giving us a total of 70 units which was 10 over the goal set for our drive! Six donors were deferred and two were insufficient. (That was the category where I was usually placed so I do not even try to donate anymore!) When it stops, it STOPS and there is nothing you can do about it!
