Beloit Historical Society Honors 2025 Hall of Fame Inductees

The Beloit Historical Society welcomed its 2025 Hall of Fame class during a heartfelt ceremony at the Lincoln Center Museum on Sunday, recognizing community members whose work has helped shape Beloit into the thriving city it is today.Each inductee—Joseph and Dawn Stadelman, Ann Sitrick Joyce, James Packard Sr., and Kevin Leavy—has left an unmistakable mark on the city through their leadership, service, and dedication to progress.The Hall of Fame, which began in 1936, celebrates those who have helped build the heart and spirit of Beloit. This year’s honorees represent a wide range of fields, from architecture and education to business and civic leadership, all united by a common thread—a deep love for their community.Joseph and Dawn Stadelman have both played key roles in Beloit’s growth since moving to the city in 1998. Joseph, president and principal architect at Angus-Young Associates, has contributed to some of the area’s most notable projects, including the Beloit College Powerhouse, local fire stations, and the Stateline Boys and Girls Club. Dawn has blended creativity and community through her work in museums, education, and fundraising efforts, including her current role at the Wright Museum of Art and involvement in developing new spaces for families and children at the Beloit Public Library.The late Ann Sitrick Joyce, remembered fondly by many, built a legacy of advocacy and care through her years in education and nonprofit leadership. From her work in the School District of Beloit to her time leading the Beloit Memorial Hospital Foundation, Joyce was known for bringing people together and improving access to local resources. Her leadership extended into numerous boards and organizations, including the Beloit International Film Festival and Rotary Club of Beloit, where she made history as its first woman president.James Packard Sr. is another name long associated with Beloit’s progress. A business leader and community advocate, Packard’s tenure at Regal-Beloit helped drive the company’s incredible growth and contributed to revitalizing the downtown area. Beyond business, his ongoing philanthropy and vision have strengthened local health initiatives and educational opportunities.Rounding out this year’s class is Kevin Leavy, a lifelong Beloit resident whose public service has broken barriers and inspired generations. As the first African American to serve as chairman of the Rock County Board and the Blackhawk Technical College Board, Leavy’s career is filled with historic firsts. His leadership on the Beloit City Council—where he now serves as president—reflects his long-standing commitment to creating opportunities for others and ensuring every voice in the community is heard.Together, these five individuals embody the resilience, creativity, and compassion that continue to define Beloit. Their recognition by the Historical Society serves not just as a look back on their many accomplishments but as a reminder of what is possible when people pour their energy into their hometown.

5BAR Celebrates Five Years in Beloit!

Downtown Beloit will raise a glass tomorrow, October 16th at 4 p.m., as the Greater Beloit Chamber of Commerce hosts a special ribbon cutting for 5BAR, celebrating five years of business. The event will take place right at the bar — 530 E Grand Ave — and marks an important milestone for a spot that has become one of Beloit’s most unique hangouts.5BAR is known for its relaxed, creative atmosphere and craft-driven approach to cocktails. What started as a fun typo — a text about opening a “dive bar” that autocorrected to “5BAR” — turned into a full concept built around the five senses, five elements, and five tastes. Each month the menu changes, featuring new, balanced cocktails made with house-made syrups, fresh citrus, and local ingredients whenever possible.The bar’s cozy layout, comfortable lighting, and friendly service make it a staple of the downtown scene. It’s not a loud, crowded place — it’s a spot where you can actually unwind, talk with friends, or catch a local musician performing in the back room.At the center of it all is Levi Andersen, the owner and creative force behind 5BAR. Levi is more than a mixologist — he’s a community builder. He also helped create The Castle, a restored historic venue that hosts events and adds to Beloit’s growing creative energy. Levi’s passion for art, music, and local culture shows through in everything he does.On a personal note, I’ve known Levi for a while now. He was one of the very first Beloit business owners to show me some love when I started Stateline Buzz. In fact, he took part in one of my first Buzz features — something I’ll always appreciate. My wife and I love going to 5BAR because it has such a different, relaxed vibe. It feels safe, comfortable, and genuine — the kind of place you can go to end a long week or catch up with friends without any pressure.Tomorrow’s ribbon-cutting, hosted by the Greater Beloit Chamber of Commerce, will be more than just a formal ceremony. It’s a chance for the community to come together and celebrate what small business success really looks like: consistency, creativity, and connection. 5BAR has become a go-to spot for both locals and visitors, and Levi has played a big role in keeping downtown Beloit vibrant.If you haven’t visited yet, tomorrow’s event is the perfect time to stop by, congratulate Levi and his team, and see what five years of passion and dedication look like. Grab a drink, meet some great people, and be part of a moment that celebrates not just a business — but a community built around good energy and good people.

Unlocking Stories of the Past – My Experience on the Beloit and Beyond Historical Walking Trail

If there is one thing I have learned exploring the Stateline, it is that Beloit is packed with history hiding in plain sight. You can walk past an old brick building downtown or a quiet corner in South Beloit and have no idea the stories those places hold until you try the Beloit and Beyond Historical Walking Trail from Visit Beloit.I have done the trail myself and honestly I loved it. It is free, self-guided, and one of those experiences that makes you slow down and really see your city. Whether you are a local or just visiting, it is the perfect way to connect with the area’s past and maybe even discover a few things you never knew.Here is how it works. You sign up for the Beloit and Beyond Historical Walking Trail right from your phone. Once you have the digital pass, it shows you more than 90 historical sites across Beloit, South Beloit, and Rockton. You pick where to go, no set route, no pressure. When you reach a location, you simply check in using GPS and earn points. Each stop tells a story, from Beloit’s early industry to community landmarks that shaped our region.The best part is that you can actually earn prizes just for exploring. After checking in at 20 locations or reaching 2000 points, you get a free Beloit prize, like a really cool Beloit Poster Map. Visit Beloit, or even ship it straight to your door. I thought that was such a fun touch; it feels like getting rewarded for being curious.If you are into challenges or just want more excuses to explore, there are other trails too, including the Beers and Cheers Trail, the Loved by Locals Trail, and the Outdoor Art Trail. Each one highlights a different side of the Stateline.And if you like making a day of it, Visit Beloit also runs a Couples Dining. Retreat Giveaway worth 600 dollars, which includes overnight accommodations and dining certificates at some of Beloit’s favorite restaurants. It is a great way to turn a simple walk through history into a weekend getaway.What I love most about the Historical Walking Trail is how it blends learning with adventure. You get to see the city from a new angle, support local spots along the way, and enjoy the outdoors while uncovering the stories that built this community.If you decide to check it out, tag @VisitBeloit and use #VisitBeloit when you post your photos. Trust me, once you start exploring, you will see Beloit differently.

Last Beloit Farmers Market of the Season Wraps Up with Halloween Fun

Downtown Beloit was packed this past Saturday for the final Beloit Farmers Market of 2025, and it couldn’t have ended in a better way. With Halloween just days away, families filled the streets, kids showed off their costumes, and vendors brought the energy with treats, music, and plenty of fall flavors.Every corner of the market had something festive to see. From little superheroes and princesses running between booths to vendors dressed up and handing out goodies, it was a fun, family-friendly way to close out another great season. I even grabbed a pumpkin they were giving out, one for each of my daughters, and it made for the perfect way to wrap up a chilly but cheerful fall morning.The atmosphere was lively, with local musicians keeping the crowd entertained and the familiar smell of fresh food floating through downtown. Many vendors shared how much they appreciate the community’s continued support all season long, and they’re already looking forward to being part of the indoor market that kicks off next.Just because the outdoor market season has come to an end doesn’t mean the fun stops there. The Winter Farmers Market begins this Saturday at 9 a.m. inside the Downtown Beloit Association building, located at 557 East Grand Avenue. It runs every Saturday through April from 9 a.m. to noon.The indoor market keeps the spirit of the summer season alive. You’ll still find many of the same local vendors offering fresh produce, baked goods, handmade crafts, and more. It’s a cozy way to keep supporting small businesses and staying connected through the winter months.As always, the Beloit Farmers Market continues to be one of the largest and longest-running in the state, drawing visitors from all over the Stateline area. Whether you’re there for the food, the music, or the community, it’s clear the market has become more than a place to shop; it’s a Saturday tradition.

AMD Tax & Accounting: Helping the Little Guys Win Big

Every small business owner knows the stress that comes when tax season rolls around. Between balancing books, managing expenses, and keeping up with ever-changing tax laws, it can feel like the system is built for the big corporations, not the people running family-owned shops, local services, and start-ups. That is exactly why Mark and his team at AMD Tax & Accounting do what they do.Mark’s story started at home. His mom was a real estate agent with a huge tax bill that seemed impossible to manage. Instead of accepting it, Mark rolled up his sleeves and went through her taxes line by line. By the time he was done, he had cut that bill by more than half. That moment opened his eyes to how much small business owners were leaving on the table and how much difference the right strategy could make. From that experience, his passion for helping others save money and keep more of what they earn was born.Today, AMD Tax & Accounting is powered by Mark, Holly, Justin, Yessica, and others. Together, they provide a wide range of services that go beyond traditional tax preparation. Their focus is on helping small business owners create generational wealth and make smart choices with their money. From setting up LLCs and structuring businesses for better tax benefits to ongoing accounting and financial advising, AMD takes a deeply personalized approach to every client.What sets them apart is their commitment to detail. Every expense, every dollar spent, and every business move is reviewed for potential savings. Their subscription-based service model also stands out — clients can call or email anytime without worrying about hidden costs or surprise fees. It is a system built on trust, transparency, and support.When I stopped by to learn more, I could immediately tell this team genuinely cares about the people they work with. There is no corporate attitude or one-size-fits-all approach. It feels like sitting down with a group of professionals who are just as invested in your success as you are. They know that for many local business owners, saving a few thousand dollars on taxes can make all the difference, allowing them to reinvest, expand, or simply breathe a little easier.In a world where the big guys always seem to find loopholes, AMD Tax & Accounting stands out for helping the little guys find their own kind of win. They are not just accountants, they are partners in building stronger, smarter, and more financially secure local businesses.If you are a small business owner looking for trusted tax professionals in the Stateline area, this is a team worth knowing.

From the grand opening to now, she’s seen how word of mouth and loyal customers have helped the boutique grow, and she’s looking forward to what’s next.I stopped in recently and was really impressed by how easy it was to shop. The store had a great mix of variety and quality, and Becky and Rhonda were both so welcoming. The jeans in particular stood out — structured, comfortable, and flattering. If you’re looking for a boutique that keeps things fresh and local, Daisy Jean is definitely worth checking out.You can visit Daisy Jean Clothing Boutique at 5454 Bridge Street, Roscoe, IL 61073.

Wicked Sweets by Kate: A Sweet New Chapter for Rockton

Downtown Rockton just got a little sweeter. Wicked Sweets by Kate recently opened its doors at 151 Hawick Street, taking over the former Mix Ice Cream location. The shop has quickly become a local favorite, offering everything from custom cakes and cupcakes to stuffed cookies, cold brew, and boba green tea. For owner and baker Kate Sauberlich, the journey to this moment has been years in the making — one filled with passion, patience, and plenty of frosting.Baking started as a happy escape for Kate while she was working as a police dispatcher. What began as a way to unwind and bring smiles to others turned into a creative outlet that she couldn’t ignore. She started by baking for friends and family, then began teaching cupcake decorating classes right from her home kitchen. As word spread, her hobby evolved into a growing business. Kate soon moved her operation into a rental kitchen, where she continued to take custom orders and host classes, all while managing pop-up sales and events throughout the Stateline area.After years of balancing dispatch work and baking, Kate finally made her long-time dream a reality — opening a full storefront in Rockton during the summer of 2025. Stepping inside Wicked Sweets feels like walking into a cheerful, pastel dream. The cases are filled with colorful cupcakes, decadent stuffed cookies, and seasonal treats. The air smells of vanilla and sugar, and there’s always something new to try.Wicked Sweets specializes in custom cakes for weddings, birthdays, and smash cake sessions. Kate’s creativity shows in every detail — from hand-piped florals to themed designs that make each order feel one-of-a-kind. For those looking for a midweek pick-me-up, the bakery offers walk-in treats Wednesday through Saturday. Alongside the baked goods, you’ll find cold brew coffee, refreshing lemonade, and boba green tea — perfect for pairing with something sweet.Kate also brings her love of teaching into the storefront, offering private decorating classes where anyone can learn to create their own edible art. Whether it’s a kids’ party, a group event, or just a fun night out, her classes are hands-on, relaxed, and full of laughter.Beyond the menu, Wicked Sweets represents something deeper — a story of persistence and community. Kate has built her business step by step, supported by loyal customers who followed her from pop-ups to her new Rockton home. She’s still a part-time dispatcher, showing that it’s possible to balance a career while chasing what you love. And now, she’s sharing that passion with every customer who walks through her door.For locals and visitors alike, Wicked Sweets is more than a bakery — it’s a place where joy is baked fresh, and where every cupcake tells a story of following your dream.
