We were just leaving the Coffee Bean Connection in Downtown Baraboo when the rain began to fall.   Sure, there were flash flood warnings in Sauk County, but we were still hoping to get in an afternoon of paddling at Devil's Lake State Park. Now we know why the lake has flooded so often in recent years. ...

Saturday's Faire on the Square event certainly seemed more organized than in years past. Almost quiet to some extent.  In fact I was a little surprised that it's been reported as one of the best attended in the history of the event.  Maybe.  But if I had to guess I'd have thought numbers were a ...

Join us in Baraboo this Saturday for the annual Faire on the Square festival.  The event begins at 9 am and runs until 4pm. This year's event has been set up by new organizers who are shall we say, steeped in Baraboo's circus traditions. What this means for the Faire on the Square is that ...

The long awaited opening of the gallery should help to infuse new life into the historic Al. Ringling theater which it seems has always struggled to find its place in our modern lifestyles. Incorporation of the gallery featuring amazing local artists, along with stage shows, concerts, plays, movies & more should go a long way toward making the “AL” the center of art and culture in our area.

Did you make it to last nights Holly Jolly Light Parade here in Baraboo?  As usual it was a great time.  In fact the warm weather made it especially enjoyable.  The school bands were on step and the floats were colorful as always.  We thought that one green tropical looking display was the “best of ...
