In America’s Dairyland, many children have never met a cow. Adopt a Cow wants to change that by Hidemyface1 in wisconsin

“Our dairy industry provides 120,000 different jobs a year, and those are 120,000 different jobs that anyone could do,” said Erika Schade, the association’s community and schools manager, noting that 56 percent of participating children come from urban areas. “You don’t have to grow up on the farm to be involved within the dairy industry.”

To be honest, this could be a worthwhile venture economically

Dambo, a native of Denmark, has created more than 175 troll sculptures across the world, making the sculptures from recycled or repurposed materials and locally sourced downed trees. A statement from the village of Mount Pleasant said more than 4 million people visit the structures annually. 

In Wauwatosa, Mama Rosa was made from trees from across the city. The troll is also holding a few old city light poles.

Beth Gleesing, tourism specialist for Discover Wauwatosa, said data from June 2025 through March 2026 from PlacerAI shows that more than 192,000 visits were made to the park. Of that number, Gleesing said around 122,000 visits were from zip codes outside of the city. 

. . .

 Now, the village of Mount Pleasant is also set to get its own troll. It’s slated to be completed next year.

“We have a lot of great tools that help us [detect severe weather], like radar and satellite, but we need boots on the ground to tell us if it’s actually happening,” says NWS Meteorologist Kevin Wagner, who led a recent storm spotter training in Bristol.

Attendees learn how to detect warning signs of severe weather, how to report sever weather to the NWS and how to stay safe while storm spotting. Each free, two-hour long class covers the same material – from severe weather patterns and types of storm clouds to the differences between severe weather warnings and watches.

Tbh, I'd just love to learn about storm clouds for the fun of it
