Year in Review: Stories to Warm the Heart

It's been a year full of news, and not all of it was the hard-as-nails variety. In fact, there's been plenty to celebrate and smile over. Remember these?

A uniquely fun and entertaining way to spend a March evening, even if you just sat in the stands: If You Can Dodge A Wrench...

The Muskego Chamber of Commerce made 2012's Jammin' on Janesville an opportunity to remember local organizations: Jammin' 2012 Set to Rock to the Beat of a Heart.

There was a local business as well who stepped up to help Stacy Young, a woman who had helped out so many others with cancer: Area Business Helps Woman With Cancer

Muskego Patch also welcomed back Jenny Addis, a voice from the past with an inspiring message to share in the aftermath of personal tragedy: Muskego Native on a Roll to Battle Paralysis.

Likewise, we were touched to learn of a new event to raise money for breast cancer research, disguised as a 'mud run,' but with a poignant tribute to a young woman's mom who died from breast cancer.

A first-ever hosting of a motorcycle ride to remember those who perished in the line of duty was a sight to behold along Moorland Road and Janesville Road.

There were also great things accomplished by our area students, including Girl Scouts who cultivated an award-winning garden at Bay Lane, an eagle scout who held up a family tradition, another eagle scout who improved Old Town Hall, and yet another who enhanced an area at Moorland Park.
