Fennimore Warm Holiday Welcome

Thanks to the efforts of everyone, the City of Fennimore is like a Norman Rockwell painting. The City of Fennimore is all decked out showing our pride and Christmas spirit this holiday season.   Many City residents and businesses have decorated their properties along with the lovely street light decorations on Main Street installed by the City Utility crew to the beautiful Unity Tree adorning the grounds of Dwight Parker Library.

The holiday season kicked off on November 24 with the Unity Tree ceremony where people gathered to light the Annual Unity Tree.  Following the tree lighting, entertainment and refreshments were provided at the Fennimore Memorial building.  We thank Cindy Arndt and her faithful crew for stepping forward to continue this community event.  All proceeds from the Unity Tree are targeted to benefit the Dwight Parker Library for items not covered in the City budget.

Give the Gift of Life This Holiday Season

Give a meaningful gift this holiday season.  Donate blood at the Fennimore Blood drive scheduled for Thursday, Dec 27 at the Fennimore Memorial building.  The blood drive opens at  11:30 and runs to 5:30 p.m.    Bring a friend and help save lives together.  For an appointment call 1-800-RED CROSS 800-733-2767 or visit redcrossblood.org  Walk-ins are welcome.
