Good morning, Appleton.

Fox Valley Lions Club Medical Loan Locker got a $300,000 grant from Lions Club International to expand from a 3,000-square-foot building in Appleton to an 8,000-square-foot space in Fox Crossing, across from St. Joe’s Food Pantry on the United Way campus.

The group plans to move by winter 2028.

Outagamie County Highway Department was recognized by PETA for rescuing 12 cats and kittens from an abandoned van on I-41 in Little Chute in May; many of the animals have since been adopted and the department received a Compassionate Action award along with emergency hammers for future emergencies.

The 75th Appleton Flag Day Parade marched along College Avenue instead of its traditional route on Wisconsin Avenue for safety, organizers said after meetings with the mayor and police.

The event celebrated both the parade's 75th anniversary and America’s 250th anniversary with 20 musical groups, clowns and firetrucks.

Former Outagamie County Judge James Bayorgeon, known for enforcing punctuality & preparing his courtroom for every case, died Monday at 91, leaving local colleagues with enduring lessons from decades of service and memorable trial conduct.

On June 10, Rep. Scott Fitzgerald chaired a hearing on possible updates to the 1961 Sports Broadcasting Act, and the Packers warned that changing revenue sharing could harm small-market teams + local lawmakers remain divided on the law’s future.

Appleton residents and visitors may share input on police services through an online survey available in English, Hmong and Spanish — officers will be at the Public Library today from 4:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m., and the survey remains open until July 17.
