As we wrap up Stage One of our project—the concrete work—we need to temporarily close the playground to provide our crews with a safe working space.

We kindly ask everyone to please stay out of the playground area while the work is being completed this week. We know it’s exciting to see everything coming together, and we appreciate your patience as we take this important step toward getting the new playground ready for our community!

Thank you for helping us keep our volunteers, workers, and families safe! 💚

This week’s Chronicle Spotlight features Haakon Peterson’s remarkable journey, which began when he asked his parents to let him join a wrestling club in kindergarten. No one could have known then that he would go on to become a decorated state and national wrestler, earning four WIAA state championships and three Pan American gold medals.

Special thanks to his parents, Bret and Jenni Peterson, for signing that first permission slip when Haakon was six and for capturing photos and videos throughout his journey. This documentary follows the hard work and dedication behind Haakon’s path as a world-class athlete and student. Later this month, he heads to the University of Michigan to pursue NCAA titles, with hopes of earning a spot on the Olympic team in 2028 or 2032, while also studying to become an orthopedic surgeon.

Pick up this week’s Chronicle for Haakon’s story and all your local news and take time to watch the documentary about his journey so far. It’s well worth watching, and we wish Haakon the very best as he chases his dreams.
