The Whitewater cross country team is once again selling water softener salt as a program fundraiser!  If you are running low, would like to stock up, or don’t have a water softener system but would like to donate money toward the purchase of salt for a homeowner in need, please see this flyer. 

There is a two bag minimum purchase and delivery will take place on Saturday, September 8 between 9:00 am – Noon.  Orders are due to Coach Chad Carstens by Friday, August 24 and can be dropped off at WHS.

Purchase 2 or 200 and the runners will put them inside if you are home, or outside wherever you specify on the order form.  Let us do the heavy lifting!

Hikers on the Ice Age Trail crossing Scuppernong Prairie.  (Photo by Ellen Davis)

The Walworth/Jefferson County Chapter of the Ice Age Trail Alliance will sponsor a free Prairie Wildflower Hike at 9 AM on Saturday, September 1.   Participants will meet at the Highway 12 Ice Age Trail parking area between Sweno Road and County O, east of Whitewater.  From there we will carpool to the prairie with the best color and most variety at the time.

This event is an exploration and celebration of colorful early fall wildflowers, with knowledgeable guides on-hand to answer questions and point out plants of special interest.  The hike — with stops — will probably be between three and four miles, with many photographic opportunities. Wet ground is possible.  Long pants, a sun hat, bug spray, water, and a snack are strongly advised;  prairies can get very hot.  Questions?  Contact hike leader Ellen Davis at 262-740-1113.

To celebrate the Whitewater Arts Alliance mixed media show in August, there’s one remaining demonstration using different materials and techniques in mixed media. The demo will be held at the Cultural Arts Center (402 W Main Street) in Whitewater.

deconstruct/reconstruct– the new “POP ART” “From Pop Can to Pop Art” by Dawn Hunter, Thursday, August 23, 1-3 pm Dawn recycles aluminum cans into a mosaic/collage creations The images vary from realistic to abstract, with some of the pieces having a 3-D construction quality.
