Weekly News Article
Hello All, Most of us learned about the American flag in history class in elementary school. But I think the month of July is a good time to remind ourselves about the meaning and importance of our flag. As most of us know the 50 stars represent the 50 states and the 13 stripes represent the original 13 colonies. The colors on the flag represent the building of our nation. Red stands for courage, hardiness, and bloodshed. Courage of separating from what we knew and starting over, and of fighting for our freedom. Hardiness because our founding fathers believed our country will be long standing. And finally, blood shed to honor all those who lost their life for our freedom and our country. White stands for purity and vigilance, purity because our country is independent and is not corrupted by any other country. Vigilance because our country needs to be alert and make careful choices. Blue stands for justice and perseverance, justice because our laws are just, and perseverance because although our nation is young, we will stand strong against all opposition.
If you have any local news or pictures of past Willow River Days or community or school events, etc. I would like to share them in this article. Summer months make it harder to write an article. I would like to share some stories about growing up in Willow River from former residents and ones who still live here. If you would like to reminisce about the old days just send photos and stories to kbennetthaus@gmail.com and I will share them in the article.

The WRFD will have fire trucks out, the PCSO will be there with a squad or two, DNR usually makes an appearance, and other wonderful first responders. It’s a potluck, so bring a dish to share and a big smile. The WRFD makes hotdogs and brats on the grill. There are usually fun activities for the kids and a drawing for a couple of bikes. This year Dr. Chris Ketchmark is donating a bike and Sheldon Johnson is donating a bike as well.
The City Wide Garage Sales are being planned for September 7, 2019. Stay tuned for more information. Shelly G. is the one in charge of that. We’ll have more information when it gets closer.
