Big changes are coming to WisCommunity. Soon. You may have noticed that there have been fewer articles lately, which is largely because I have been working on a new website. .We will leave this site that is full of features that are never used (due to years-old plans that never happened) and will be moving to a new site built on much newer technology that will be moe maintainable in the long term. For those of you who care, it will be a move from Drupal 7 to Drupal 10.

Last year, true to the car on ice tradition of Menomonie and the spirit of the Lions Club, a “klunker” car was placed out on Lake Menomin, symbolizing the turn from winter to spring within the community. As most community members noticed this year the long-running tradition came to a pause. There is no car on the ice. Without the sturdy support of the ice, there was no klunker this year.
