Just in: new turtle crossing signs! Four signs will be installed along Rutland-Dunn Townline Road sometime in the next week to help keep our shell-backed friends safe.

June 8-12 is Wild Turtle Week, and female turtles are especially active this time of year as they head to their nesting sites. Unfortunately, that means turtles are more at risk from passing vehicles than usual.

Residents and property owners in the Waubesa Beach Neighborhood are invited to attend an information session TONIGHT, May 18, at 6:30 p.m. at the Dunn Town Hall regarding an impending large-scale refurbishing of the 50-year-old sewer mains in Sanitary District #1.

This project is expected to extend the life of the mains by another 50 years. The work is expected to cause partial road closures at times and residents will notice heavy equipment in the neighborhood. A financing plan includes borrowing for most of the cost of the project. Join us tonight to hear from the district engineer and get your project questions answered.

Last night, we brought together many of the wonderful and talented people who volunteer to serve on our committees and commissions, as poll workers, and on a variety of projects and initiatives that benefit our town. We could not do everything we do without their commitment and passion for serving this community. We greatly appreciate their efforts and we hope you will join us in thanking them, as well!
