Abrams Spotlight Productions Inc. will present a new take on one of the greatest holiday stories ever told as “A Ghost Tale for Mr. Dickens Jr.,” directed by Bobby Buffington, features 42 youths from the area.

Thanksgiving, a day to be grateful to God for the good things in life, is just around the corner. Thanksgiving for my family means a huge meal for supper with my grandpa. We make all the staples, turkey (or sometimes chicken), mashed potatoes, veggies, gravy, cranberry sauce and sometimes we try new things, too.

As many know, our family was partially formed by adoption, which I truly feel is a beautiful expression of God’s far-reaching love.

Do you feel like a young bird dog squirming in anticipation with his first pheasant feather?

That’s the feeling I get right before opening day of the gun deer season, better known to hunters as the Most Important Day of the Year.

The Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources encourages hunters to donate Wisconsin-harvested deer through the DNR’s Deer Donation Program.

The program helps stock food pantries and supports residents in need throughout the state.
