Hononegah Pride is Running High This Week

Hononegah Pride is Running High This Week

There’s something special about this time of year. The school year is wrapping up, caps and gowns are getting zipped up, and our local athletes are giving us plenty to cheer about. Hononegah High School has had an incredible run this week, and I just wanted to take a moment to highlight all the amazing things happening in our community.Let’s start with Hononegah Athletics. The baseball team pulled off an unforgettable win over Harlem, scoring three runs in the bottom of the 7th. That clutch performance earned them a shot at the Regional Championship against Hampshire this Saturday. Big things are happening on the diamond.Meanwhile, junior tennis player Braden Monson made serious waves at the State Tennis Tournament, going 3-1 on the day and landing in the top 24 in the state. He’s back in action tomorrow morning, and we’ll all be rooting for him.Softball is right in the middle of a postseason run, too, getting ready to take on DeKalb for a Regional Championship at Stromquist Field. And boys' track is headed to the IHSA State Meet, where they’ll be looking to bring home some All-State honors. These athletes are putting in the work and making our whole community proud.Aand let’s not forget our boys volleyball team, who are Regional Champs and now gearing up for the Sectional Semi-Final at South Elgin. The teamwork, dedication, and energy these student-athletes bring are something that deserves to be celebrated.Speaking of celebrating, huge congratulations to the Hononegah Class of 2025! It’s no small thing to make it through four years of high school, especially with everything these past few years have thrown your way. You’ve shown grit, heart, and determination, and now it’s your time to shine.Whether you’re heading off to college, jumping into the workforce, taking a gap year, or still figuring it all out, you’ve earned this moment. Soak it in.To all the athletes, students, coaches, teachers, and families who make up the Hononegah community, thank you for showing what school pride really looks like. This week has been a reminder of how lucky we are to be part of something so strong and so connected.

Main Street Lettering: Custom Gear with Heart in Clinton, WI

When a local apparel shop in Clinton, Wisconsin, was preparing to close its doors, most people saw the end of an era. But for Brenda and Katie, it was the beginning of something new. They stepped up, purchased the equipment, and in January of 2017, opened Main Street Lettering, a shop dedicated to keeping custom apparel and design services available right in their hometown.Located in the heart of Clinton, Main Street Lettering offers screen printing, embroidery, and full-color decoration for just about anything. From t-shirts and hoodies to hats, bags, blankets, and more, they bring custom designs to life with quality craftsmanship and attention to detail. Whether you already have a logo or need help designing something from scratch, Brenda and Katie are ready to collaborate and make sure you walk away with something you love.Their shop does more than just fill orders. It supports the community in a big way. If you’ve seen Clinton High School Cougar gear around town, chances are it came from Main Street Lettering. They provide apparel for school teams, local fire departments, small businesses, construction crews, and events all across the region.What makes them stand out is their flexibility. While many printing companies require large orders, Main Street Lettering is happy to accommodate small runs with no minimums. Planning a family reunion, birthday party, or gender reveal? They can help you create custom gear even if you only need a few pieces. That kind of service is rare, and it shows how much they care about the people they serve.During my visit, I got the chance to meet Brenda and Katie in person. They’re not only talented but incredibly kind and welcoming. It’s clear this isn’t just a business, it’s a passion project rooted in community pride. They love what they do, and it shows in the work they produce and the relationships they’ve built.For anyone looking for custom gear with a personal touch, Main Street Lettering is a hidden gem in the Stateline area.

Cornellier Fireworks: A Blast of Tradition and Variety

Cornellier Fireworks: A Blast of Tradition and VarietyThere is something magical about walking into a fireworks store. The excitement. The colors. The anticipation of lighting up the sky. At Cornellier Fireworks, that feeling is alive and well.With summer in full swing and the Fourth of July right around the corner, I stopped by their Beloit location to see what they have going on this season. From the moment I walked in, it was clear that this place is ready to help anyone put on an unforgettable show.Cornellier Fireworks has a story that goes back to the early 1970s. It started with Larry Cornellier Sr., who spotted an opportunity to support his family by selling fireworks. With just two hundred dollars borrowed from a friend, he opened a small stand in Beloit, Wisconsin. That small stand quickly turned into something much bigger. With hard work, smart investments, and the support of those around him, the business expanded. Larry eventually bought out the wholesaler who gave him his start and opened permanent stores, growing into the successful multi-location operation it is today.Today, Cornellier Fireworks has four locations, including one right here in Beloit. Their team works hard to make sure there is something for everyone who walks through the doors. Whether you are planning a big neighborhood display or just picking up a few items for the backyard, they have options for all ages and experience levels.If you have little ones like I do, you will appreciate the selection of fountains, sparklers, and family-friendly items that light up the night without the loud booms. They even have snacks and small treats in the shop, which makes the whole experience feel more like a fun outing than just a shopping trip.For those looking to go big, there are rows and rows of high-impact fireworks that are sure to make your celebration unforgettable. The best part? Everything is buy one get one free all year long. That kind of value makes it easy to stock up and get the most out of your budget.Another thing I noticed during my visit was how friendly and knowledgeable the staff is. They are more than happy to walk you through different products, explain what each firework does, and help you create the perfect display. Whether you are a seasoned firework enthusiast or a first-time buyer, they will make sure you leave with exactly what you need.The showroom itself is impressive. Wide aisles, clearly labeled sections, and a clean, welcoming layout make it easy to browse and compare different products. From colorful fountains and Roman candles to artillery shells and grand finales, everything is laid out in a way that makes shopping simple and fun.Cornellier Fireworks is more than just a place to buy fireworks. It is a piece of local history. It is a story of taking a chance and building something meaningful. And most of all, it is a spot where you can walk in excited and walk out ready to light up the sky.Whether you are planning a big celebration or just want a few sparklers for the kids, stop by and see what Cornellier Fireworks has to offer. They have something for everyone and are ready to help you make this summer one to remember.

Creative Energy and Coffee at The Culture Lounge

There is a new kind of hangout in town, and it is all about creativity, connection, and comfort. The Culture Lounge, located at the corner of Central and White inside the old Johnson Drug Store, is more than just a coffee shop. It is a space built for expression.The idea behind The Culture Lounge is simple but powerful. The owner wanted a space for like-minded people. A place where you can be yourself, try something creative, and feel completely at ease. With years of barista experience and a deep love for art, she combined her two passions into one beautiful concept.One of the biggest draws here is the arts and crafts setup. You can drop in anytime and get creative with no need to sign up for a class or wait for a workshop to start. Whether you are painting, making pottery, crafting your candle, or doing a DIY project, it is all self-paced. You can go solo, bring a friend, or come with a group. The vibe is welcoming and self-guided, perfect for anyone who wants to unwind and do something hands-on.Paint and sip sessions, book clubs, and even small events like baby showers or birthdays are all welcome here. The open layout and flexible setup make it a great place to gather and celebrate or just hang out and do your own thing.Of course, it would not be complete without coffee. This place delivers. Their specialty lattes are already a local favorite, and they serve up pastries that pair perfectly with a morning meeting or a quiet afternoon craft session. Whether you are here to sip, snack, or sketch, you will feel right at home.The Culture Lounge is all about freedom to create, freedom to relax, and freedom to be yourself. If you are looking for a new spot that blends community and creativity, this one is worth a visit.

A Summer Night at the Rockton River Market

There is something special about summer nights in downtown Rockton. If you have never been to the Rockton River Market, you are missing out on one of the best weekly events in the Stateline area.Held every Wednesday, the River Market brings together everything that makes a community feel connected. Good food, live music, local makers, and a relaxed, welcoming vibe. Whether you are going with your family, meeting up with friends, or just stopping by after work, this event is worth checking out.During my visit, I made it a point to explore as much as I could. The brisket grilled cheese I had was absolutely amazing. It was rich, smoky, perfectly toasted, and honestly one of the best grilled cheese sandwiches I have had in a long time. I paired it with a cold, refreshing peach beer that hit just right on a warm evening.Beyond the food, the music playing in the background really sets the mood. You will usually find a local band or solo artist performing live, giving the whole space a chill and upbeat energy. It is the kind of place where you can grab a bite, sip on something cold, and just enjoy the moment.The vendors are definitely worth exploring. The variety is incredible with everything from handmade crafts and jewelry to custom home decor, soaps, candles, and more. There is always something new to see, and you can tell each vendor brings their own unique style to the market. It is a great way to support small local businesses and maybe find a gift or treat for yourself along the way.There were also several food trucks on site, each offering something a little different. Whether you are in the mood for something sweet, savory, or spicy, chances are you will find it there.The Rockton River Market is more than just a market. It is a weekly celebration of the community. It is where people come together to relax, enjoy the weather, and experience the best of what our local scene has to offer.If you have not been yet, consider this your sign.
