PHOTOS: Muskego Historical Society Craft Fair
Cold and blustery weather kept crowds down but the crafters kept spirits up with seasonal gifts, food and decor
The 6th Annual Muskego Historical Society craft fair was held on Saturday, and most folks who were there - crafters and customers alike - were bundled up against unseasonably cool weather. However, dozens of crafters were on hand selling handmade decor, clothing, wood work and hot food and beverages made it worth the time spent outdoors. The event was held at the Old Settlement Centre, with proceeds helping to fund the Muskego Historical Society. Many of the historic buildings were also open to the public for the event.

The flagpole and bench are located in front of the Old Town Hall building on the Old Settlement Grounds, and parks director Craig Anderson said he was not aware of the incident until Wednesday. He also confirmed that it wasn't a …

VIDEO: Muskego Country Christmas Provided Sounds of the Season
Choral groups, a deejay, and bands rang in the holidays with song.

Good one, Laura...I try to catch "Meet me in St. Louis" every year... Gotta give Transiberian Orchestra my top award for their 'Christmas Canon'. As to what sounds should have never been recorded, that would be any Christmas songs from Neil Diamond. more ›
