RIGHT NOW: Area residents have dislodged the Lake Steet Bridge bogs in Horicon. More than a half dozen large bogs are now floating south down the Rock River.

Prior to opening a time capsule from 1964 in front of School District of Horicon faculty and the C.D. Smith construction crew, superintendent Rich Appel led the group in a moment of silence for the C.D. Smith construction worker who passed away after injuries sustained at the site last week.

The School District of Horicon just wrapped up its teacher and faculty parade at the future single-campus school building. A caravan of cars drove through Burnett, Iron Ridge and Horicon much to the enjoyment of students and parents.

The School District of Lomira parade rolled through Brownsville at 3:30 today. Students took to street corners to wave at teachers and faculty. The parade also wound through Lomira and is presently on its way to Theresa.
