Good morning, La Crosse.

Yesterday at Riverside Park, residents gathered around Rotary Lights (a display that was down) to celebrate lifelong friendships and local spirit.

The story captures how even a dimmed display can spark enduring connections in the community.

Local artists are showcasing wood carvings at the Wood Carving Expo today in downtown La Crosse — a community event highlighting handmade regional talent.

The Boys & Girls Clubs of Greater La Crosse will open a new 16,000 sqft Workforce Readiness Center this spring on the north side, offering middle and high school students career training in trades, STEM, media, and life skills (featuring construction, innovation, and media labs).
