It’s an exciting time at Neuschafer Community Library  as plans for the future Fremont Library & Community Center  continue to unfold—with the help of some very enthusiastic young minds! On April 30th , the library welcomed Ashlee Prochnow , principal architect from McMahon Associates , who got an up-close look at the creativity brewing inside the library—especially the incredible cardboard building project , young patrons have been constructing together. Ashlee even received feedback straight from future leaders (and maybe even future architects!) as we fine-tuned ideas and materials for the upcoming library space. Design renderings from JLG Architects  have already wowed the community, capturing Fremont’s natural beauty, character, and spirit. Now, with McMahon  taking the reins to finalize the architecture and engineering, building plans are nearly complete . They are on track to go out for bid soon—and if all goes well, groundbreaking is set for July ! The Library is beyond grateful to their partners and to the entire Weyauwega-Fremont School District , especially Mrs. Peuse and her first-grade class , who visited the library and brought joy, questions, and curiosity with them. Their presence reminded what this project is truly about: building a future for the community—together. With expanded resources, meeting rooms, and flexible spaces planned, the new Neuschafer Library will serve as a vibrant hub for generations to come.

Your local letter carriers will collect them during their regular routes. “This is our first year participating, and we’re so excited to bring this to our communities,” said Jennifer Fritch . “All collected food will go directly to our local food pantry , helping families right here in the Weyauwega and Fremont areas.” Important guidelines: Please make sure all donated items are non-perishable  and not expired . Examples of great donation items include canned vegetables, peanut butter, pasta, rice, soup, cereal, and canned meats. Carriers will collect items Saturday only , so be sure to leave your donation out early on May 10 . Now in its 32nd year nationwide, Stamp Out Hunger has helped millions of Americans who face food insecurity. As this becomes an annual tradition for Weyauwega and Fremont , the community has a meaningful new way to give back—right from their mailbox.

Fremont residents have a reason to get excited for spring as Weyauwega-Fremont News & Events hosts a spring cleanup event on April 26th. The event will take place behind Fremont Village Hall and is designed to encourage everyone to clean up their yard and house both inside and out—for a cleaner, greener town while supporting a great cause. Extra-large dumpsters will be available on-site for local residents to dispose of bulk trash and for the first time in years, the Village compost and stick/branch collection site will be open 8am-3pm. Items such as branches under 4 inches in diameter and 4 feet in length, along with lawn clippings and leaves, are welcome. In addition, the compost and brush pile areas will be open for drop-offs. Volunteers will be on hand to monitor progress and will ask for a monetary contribution will help fund the Veterans Backyard Bash.. At the April 8th Village Board meeting, Taylor Berndt, founder of Weyauwega-Fremont News, emphasized the importance of taking action during the spring season. When asking for permission to hold it on village property, “I am looking for a way everyone can do some spring cleaning inside and out, without an added cost to the village,” he said. Local business support is also playing a key role in this initiative. Brad Lind of Lind Excavating is lending invaluable assistance by helping remove the compost and branches, ensuring that yard waste is hauled away efficiently! Residents are encouraged to join in and make a day out of this. The cleanup event not only promises a refreshed neighborhood but also helps raise funds for a worthy cause, we here at Weyauwega Fremont News are proud to support! For additional details on what can and cannot be disposed of in the provided dumpsters (prohibited items include aerosol cans, liquids, appliances, electronics, hazardous waste, tires, oil, paint, chemicals, and more), please refer to the event flyer or contact Taylor directly at Taylor@WeyauwegaFremontNews.com . Join us on April 26th for a day of community, cleanup, and caring for our environment and veterans. Together, we can make Fremont shine!
