Country CousinIssue Date: June 3, 2020 June is Dairy Month!
It's June Dairy Month in Wisconsin, but there will be no June Dairy Breakfast in Marinette County this year. None in Oconto County either. A few Wisconsin counties still plan to hold the traditional celebration of dairy products late in June, but not many.

From our readersIssue Date: May 27, 2020 Those Dear Old Wrinkled Hands
In a weather beaten cottage where the spreading maples stand, I was reared from early childhood till I grew to be a man. That old weather beaten cottage by the roadside there still stands, but what most in memory lingers is a pair of wrinkled hands.
How distinctly I remember when a little barefoot boy, I stood close beside my mother while she fixed a broken toy. On her lips she'd wet her fingers, brush the hair back from my brow, would to God those dear old fingers once again could do that now.<...
