Dry conditions stress area farmers as US Drought Monitor maps show most of east Central Wisconsin as abnormally dry — with parts of northeast Fond du Lac County in moderate drought — and forecast models predict only 1/10th to 1/2 inch rain next week.

Starting Monday, the Fond du Lac Department of Public Works will close the new Promen Drive Bridge for staining, stopping daytime through-traffic for five days if weather permits—park users can still reach Oven Island via Park Avenue and the Lakeside Park Pavilion via Main Street.

SSM Health awarded a $10,000 Community Health gift to Fond du Lac Literacy Services yesterday to support its Health Literacy and Telehealth Access Through Adult Education program that teaches adults digital skills.

The initiative helps underserved learners access healthcare and work with community partners + build their independence.
