Good morning, La Crosse.

Habitat for Humanity volunteers in La Crosse are removing salvageable parts from the Hogan Administrative Center before it is torn down—aiming to give each piece a new life—so its history is kept alive.

Fountain City’s historic Corner Store, a Main Street landmark operating since 1965, reopened its doors after years of vacancy to offer restored beverages and a taste of its past life as a soda fountain and family-run general store—Owner Mike Adank said the opening weekend exceeded expectations as locals gathered to share memories.

The Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 2112 in Sparta held its annual Buck Fever Fundraiser on Sunday, raising funds for local youth and veteran programs—supporting hospital care, funeral honors, scholarships, and more.

The event, which has aided the community for over 30 years, depended on local business donations for prizes.

Family, friends and long-time patrons gathered yesterday at Elmaro Vineyard in Trempealeau—marking 14 years of the family-run winery that has long served the local community.

The celebration highlighted the vineyard’s tradition and its ongoing role in the region.
