Wishing you all a blessed Easter weekend.

When you are downtown over the next couple days, you’ll be seeing the Easter bunny!

Jennifer Herbst, a resident of Monroe, is giving back to the community and will be downtown to share Easter well wishes and take photos with anyone who would like one!

P.s. the indoor farmers market is this Saturday morning from 9am-12pm and will feature the master gardeners, a honey demonstration, and a beef and lamb vendor!

We’re absolutely loving having 608 The Factory as part of the neighborhood! Did you catch that they relocated to Monroe the beginning of last month?!

They’ve done an amazing job with this space on the north side of the square! If you haven’t been in yet, you absolutely need to check it out!

608 The Factory will be participating in next week’s wine walk so this video is really a teaser until you can stop in in person.

Tickets for the wine walk can be purchased online at the link in our bio or by calling 608.328.4023.

Doing our part to reaffirm that it’s spring - the downtown benches are back out!

We want to give a special shout-out to this crew, Derek, Nick, Jeff, and Brad from the City’s streets department for making it happen!

Earlier this morning they returned all benches downtown. Special thanks to Dick Marti (with the county) for storing them and helping coordinate today.

All 22 benches are all owned and maintained by Main Street Monroe.

Did you catch that Baumgartner's took the money down from the ceiling last month?

Our pocket park project, which will bring public restrooms downtown and be maintained by the city of Monroe, has received half of the donations collected this last year! We want to give a special thanks to Chris (pictured) and his brother Tyler for choosing our project as one of this year's recipients. The other is the Green County YMCA. Prior to counting the money, they had made a guaranteed amount that would be donated to this community project.

And, of course, a huge thank you to all of the customers who donated! Your generosity keeps this tradition going and makes so many things possible!

Baumgartner's donation will be part of our “Families Who Love Monroe” campaign! We are close to hitting our goal, but not quite there yet...

Complete information on the project can be found on our website: https://www.mainstreetmonroe.org/restrooms or by contacting us directly at 608.328.4023.

A super cool article from The Monroe Evening Times that was shared with us recently!

It is from the September 5th, 1922 edition!

Over 100 years old, and the takeaways are as relevant!

Definitely read the whole article, but we love the reminder that Monroe is your home, when you shop local you keep more money local and create a stronger community, and Monroe merchants provide the quality goods you want at the best price! 🤍❤️

We’d love to have you tag your favorite businesses in the comments below!

And shoutout to our local, go to historian Matt Figi for sharing this!

Look where Monroe's pride made it!
Rapa Nui (Easter Island) in eastern Polynesia!!

Big thanks to Monroe resident Deb Thompson who submitted this photo. She’s wearing our “Hail Cheese” shirt from two summers ago. We love seeing Monroe being represented near and far and this is certainly one a perfect one!

There will be an Easter Island statue as part of this year’s summer theme that will be announcing soon! 🗿

Anyone with photos, downtown or other locations, who would like to share, should send us a DM.

The sun is out. The air is fresh and crisp. And flowers are blooming!

Spring is arriving even if it doesn’t quite feel like it!

Does anyone know this spot behind The Artfull Dressmaker in Spring Square Alley? It makes us smile about this time every year.

Did you catch our previous post from Wisconsin Main Street’s 34th Annual Awards in March?

As we reflect on our 20th anniversary, we want to highlight all of the past Monroe state award winners. From private/public partnerships to events and individual businesses, there’s been a lot of well-deserved recognition.

Our deepest respect to everyone continuously investing in their businesses, our downtown, and our community!

We're feeling blessed on this extra fine Friday and not just because of the sun and the warm temps!

There's been a lot of great progress made on the pocket park this week...Rock Solid Concrete, one of the local subcontractors on the project, poured the footings for the public restrooms which can be seen below!

The campaign for this project is still very much active! Any donation will help us reach our goal.

Please head to MainStreetMonroe.org/restrooms or contact us directly at 608.328.4023 for complete details on the project.

Soil samples have also been collected this week. This corner, the northeast of the square, was once home to Commercial Bank. We've been told that when the buildings were demolished, much of the brick was not fully removed from the site, but used as infill!

Happy first day of spring, everyone!

Even if mother nature is not quite there, House To Home Designs definitely is! In fact, we’re not sure anyone does the changing of the seasons quite like Robin and her crew!

You’ll find a variety of home good items, quality floral items, and items for Easter! We’re always loving the dip options, fun socks, and now they also have Amaryllis bulbs (which don’t need to be watered) and beautiful custom, wooden American flags in a few different sizes!

We are proud to say that Stephani King has been recognized by the state Main Street program as a Community Champion for 2024! She is photographed after accepting her awards at the ceremony in Menomonie.

Stephani has been a part of downtown for the past 12 years. Whenever a volunteer spot needs to be filled, she has stepped up more times than can be counted. You might have seen her assisting at the Cheese Drop, being a part of the cleanup crew after concerts, or discussed any of the summer themes with her. She has been a part of our Events & Promotions Committee longer than she might care to remember!

Next time you see Stephani, please, thank her for all of her time, hard work, and creativity. She strives to make our community better, no matter the task.

We know many of you have been as eager as we have been about updates on the Main Street Park with public restrooms which will be on the northeast corner of the square!

In the meantime, please head to MainStreetMonroe.org/restrooms or contact us directly at 608.328.4023 for complete details on the project.

We are thrilled to announce that for this year's St. Patrick's Day Parade, we will not have a Grand Marshal but Grand Marshals!

In honor of their father, Skip Brennan, who passed last March shortly after the 2024 parade, his children will be sharing the position!

Skip was one of the original founders of the parade. He and a group first walked around the square to celebrate Irish pride over 40 years ago! He would also personally escort St. Victor's students to the parade from the school in later years.

Pictured are his daughters and Monroe natives Annie Brennan, Erin Buhlmann, Chrissy Boyce, Kerry Ernster, and Dolly Schluesche. Not pictured is their brother Tim. They'll have the biggest Irish flag at the parade which starts at 5:17pm.

We often attribute the time because St. Patrick's Day is on the 17th, but Skip actually started that many years ago, as he did when he organized the Bock Run. Erin made the comment that nothing quite made sense, but as Skip would say, "it's Irish time."

We can't wait to all be on Irish time on Monday, March 17th! Anyone interested in participating in the parade - it's free - should send us a DM or contact us at 608.328.4023.
