Marshfield hosts Saengerfest crowds and city tones
The Central Wisconsin Saengerfest in Marshfield last Sunday drew ten to twelve thousand visitors. Locals supplied, yet seats and shade ran short and food was taxed, leaving some hungry. Grand Rapids residents joked about shade and pie curiosity, while Marshfield urged better refreshment planning for future county visits. A new Wisconsin law restricts gasoline can sales to red marked cans and imposes a $5.09 fine for misuse.

Naming Farms Law Encourages Town Votes on Names
A July 1 enactment allows towns to require farm names upon petition by ten percent of electors. If approved, by law the owner must select a suitable farm name, register it with the clerk, and post it on the premises with a board settled sign. A $10 penalty may be imposed for noncompliance. The provision aims to bring rural naming up to urban standards at light cost. Farmers are urged to raise the matter at next spring’s town meetings to gauge sentiment.
