'The Farm' in spotlight at brunch

Shawano County’s Brunch on the Farm, being held this Sunday at Nohr’s Cornerstone Dairy in Marion, is owned and operated by Terry and Dianne Nohr and family. I have a vested interest in this particular Brunch on the Farm as Terry and Dianne are my dear brother and sister-in-law, and they work and nurture the farm I grew up on. If you’re at the brunch and happen to see me, stop and say hello and introduce yourself! I’d love to meet you.

Summertime speeds by too quickly
Believe it or not, the calendar is about to turn to July, with the Fourth of July right around the corner. Where did June go? I have been wondering why May seemed to drag by for me, but June has flown past so fast that it is hard to believe. Sure, there is different work with the yard needing attention, and there has already been a family reunion. The weather has been wet, sometimes cool and wet, and other times humid and wet.

Event memorializes Guelzow's love of fishing and kids
“The two best times to fish is when it’s rainin’ and when it ain’t.” — Patrick F. McManus My article today is about how family and friends are remembering their loved one by sharing his passion for fishing and his love of children with the community. I guess you could say they are “paying it forward.” When Bill Guelzow was about 7 years old, his father bought him a fishing pole and took him fishing, just once. But once was enough!
