On Saturday, February 20, 2021, New Glarus Vision held a Fisheree at Hoesly Pond to raise money for the Books 4 Kids program, and to introduce kids to ice fishing. Organizers reported raising over $900 at the event. Books 4 Kids started four years ago with the mission of giving every elementary school student in the New Glarus School District a few books at the end of the school year. New Glarus Vision provides the books through fundraising, donations from our local residents and discounts from the book supplier, Books4School.
