Good morning, Fond du Lac.

SSM Health Ripon Community Hospital donated $10,000 to the Boys + Girls Club of the Tri-County Area to help youth programs reach their full potential and break the cycle of poverty.

Hospital leaders presented the donation as club programs saw increased after-school and summer participation in 2024.

Walleye Weekend will take place at Lakeside Park from June 6-8 with a slight chance of rain on Friday and Saturday and a 70% chance on Sunday afternoon; local weather reports show that air quality is expected to improve before the event & a slight risk of thunderstorms remains into early next week.

The Lakeside Park carousel will not run this summer—construction of a new building that will shelter the ride from weather damage is set to begin later this summer and continue into the fall so that it returns in 2026.

The change will also end the need to dismantle the ride each winter.
