Rest of the week weather wise!

Today is the last day of climatological Fall and it'll feel like a mid-November day. However, the rest of the week will feel more like mid to late Spring. So, we are just going to go ahead and skip Winter this year!

Vernon County loses a hero!

Sergeant Dan Miller will be missed by all. He had a passion for serving our schools and working with the children, not only to keep them safe, but to show them they had a friend and a mentor they could turn to.

It is with heavy hearts we say goodbye. He will always be remembered by the community he served. Rest In Peace Sergeant Miller.
