Good morning, Wausau.
🏘️ Community
A 100-year-old barn on a small family farm in Wausau was damaged by strong, tornado-like winds on July 19, leaving many belongings lost and spurring family-led restoration efforts.
Family members set up a GoFundMe that has raised over $5,000—nearly halfway to their $12,000 goal.
Both Dairy Queen locations in Wausau will join Miracle Treat Day today—supporting local children’s hospitals via Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals.
Every Blizzard treat sold will donate at least $1—helping fund life-saving treatments for kids.
At the Wisconsin Valley Fair in Wausau, organizers have added a new women’s rodeo event called Break-a-way Roping where a mounted rider must rope a loose calf in the fastest time possible.
The rodeo will take place on Friday and Saturday at 7:30 p.m. — it is free with admission and includes family-friendly activities.
💼 Business
Damon Reabe—formerly a corporate pilot—now runs Dairyland Aviation in Waupun with his uncle Bob Reabe and partner Andy Hopkins, using modern technology to safely apply crop products.
He returned to the family business to build a steadier home life and now flies aircraft equipped with advanced systems that control spray drift and improve safety.
🎭 Culture
The I.S. Horgen Farm Museum at Marathon Park is showcasing over 30,000 antiques, including an 1890s recliner chair—its oldest item— as part of the Wisconsin Valley Fair.
Curator Randy Block said the museum began in the late 1960s and features local farm artifacts that help visitors learn about our farming heritage.
