Letter from the Mayor

Veteran Banners on Main Street
This letter is in regard to the Veterans banners that are currently on Main Street. We will be taking these banners down after Veterans Day and replacing them with our Holiday banners. Then, in the Spring we will take the Holiday banners down and replace them with the Veterans banners.
We are asking any of the families that have sponsored their loved one’s banner to let us know if you would like them back or put back up in the Spring. If you would like yours back, please contact me via email so we can advise the crew when they take them down.
We will be continuing this program. Right now, we have approximately 9 – 12 new banners that will go up next Spring along with any other ones we receive over the next several months.
It was suggested that we add more hangers further down on Main Street. After checking with Superintendent of Public Works Jeremy Wusterbarth, the balance of the poles are owned by Wisconsin Public Service. It is doubtful they will allow the city to put hangers and banners on their poles. This means we only have room for banners on the current poles.
A special “thank you!” to Tina Bruckner for taking lead on the Veteran Banner project and making this all happen. Your hard work is appreciated!
Regards,
Cliff Martin
