Mayor’s Message
Summerfest and the 150th Anniversary Weekend was spectacular. I want to extend a hearty thank you to the many folks who had a hand in making it the success it was. Special thanks to Joann Schmidt and Christina Andres who, along with myself, chaired the committee. Christina, of course, had added responsibility as head of the Chamber of Commerce. There were so many people (too many to mention here) who contributed to the weekend’s success.
