Bobby G. Rice is a country music legend. With nine albums to his credit and thirty songs that charted on the Billboard Hot Country Singles chart Rice is still going strong on the performance circuit.  On June 3 Rice will be performing at Good Ol’ Fashioned Barn Dance at Memories on Maple.

In July 31, 1971 was the first time that Rice appeared on the Grand Ole Opry. “It was a huge experience. What a feeling for a singer!” comments Rice. “I was on Roy Acoff segment. Then the following years I was on multiple times in the seventies and eighties. I think it was a dozen or fifteen times I was on the Opry.”  In his personal collection Rice has the audios of his first times on the Opry as well as the programs.

Prairie du Chien school board votes to end 3K programming

Submitted by admin1 on Tue, 05/16/2023 - 17:32

At special meeting on Thursday, May 11 the Prairie du Chien school board voted four to three to discontinue the 3K program. The public had been informed of the meeting via posting on Tuesday morning.
According to Prairie du Chien School Superintendant Andy Banasik there are two main reasons that the program will not continue: funding and staffing. “The program is not funded by the state of Wisconsin so we get no reimbursement from the state,” Banasik stated in a telephone interview.  
For the 2022-23 school there was no 3K program due to lack of staffing. “At the start of the year, we had one or two faculty members who had to leave,” notes Banasik. Even though there was staffing for the coming school year, there was a worry that the district would not be able to retain staff for the program.
