“I saw a few people doing it and thought it would be interesting,” the Town of Richmond man said in mid-March. “Like they say, once you start it, you’re hooked.”

He and his wife, Cindy, have been making maple syrup the past seven years. Last month, they tapped 54 trees.

Boho Belle Boutique hearkens as a small-town boutique with a big heart, featuring cozy, inspired, everyday pieces. In fact, owner Amber Beechy claims there’s something for everyone there.

With new owners Lauren and Jerred Laubscher in charge, there is little changed from the Amico’s Midwest Pizzeria in Bonduel that customers knew over the past 23 years.

The Laubschers took over the restaurant in Bonduel on July 1, 2025.
