Steven and Danny Sanicki from Menomonee Falls have built a strong online following with over 1 million fans as they compete in mini golf contests at Twin Tour Golf.

🎓 Education
Melissa Vernon and Krista Haugner Sieg are leading a community fundraiser to save the full-time band program at Lake Country School in Hartland after the booster club raised only $40,000 so far and needs an extra $15,000 to prevent cuts.
The school board will vote on the referendum on April 1st and if it fails, the band may shift to a part-time program.
