| Splash pad plan sticks, moves to 2012 |
The Fitchburg Common Council narrowly agreed last month to plan on paying $235,000 toward a splash pad, which would resemble the feature in Middleton’s Lakeview Park.
The city would ask the Optimist Club to pick up the remaining estimated $225,000, mostly from donations. The council also moved the project to 2012 and stipulated that no construction could begin until all of the funds are accounted for.

| Sugar Maple music festival returns to Lake Farm Park this weekend |
Murdock, president of the board of directors of the Four Lakes Traditional Music Collective, the group that organizes the Sugar Maple Traditional Music Festival, said it was at Hiawatha that he and a group of friends began talking seriously about organizing a music festival in the Madison area.
They started having meetings and figured out what it took to become a nonprofit corporation. “We knew nothing about any of this stuff,” he said. “We were just people who liked to play and listen to music. And so it just went from there.”
