The Sweet Success of Cedar Crest
One of the most popular stories in June was the sale of the beloved Wisconsin Cedar Crest ice cream brand. This iconic company, known for its giant cow statue 'Bernice' and delicious ice cream, was sold to an Illinois company. What makes this story particularly fascinating is the commitment of the new owners to preserve the Cedar Crest brand as is. They plan to keep the giant cow statue in front of the Manitowoc ice cream parlor, ensuring that the beloved landmark remains a staple in the community. This story is a testament to the power of local businesses and the importance of preserving cultural icons.
The Roaming Bear
Another intriguing story that captured the imagination of our readers was about a roaming bear. This bear, which had been spotted in various locations around the area, became an overnight sensation. What makes this story so captivating is the mystery surrounding the bear's identity and its motivations. It raises a deeper question about the relationship between humans and wildlife, and the importance of coexisting with nature. Personally, I think this story highlights the need for better education and awareness about wildlife conservation.
The $18.5 Million Property Transfer
The third most popular story in June was about a significant property transfer. A local business owner sold a property worth $18.5 million to a new owner. What makes this story interesting is the potential impact of this transfer on the local economy. It raises a deeper question about the role of real estate in the community and the importance of supporting local businesses. In my opinion, this story is a reminder of the importance of investing in local businesses and supporting the community.
