ASHTON/CROSS PLAINS — Last fall, Kelsey (McCarthy) Townsend contracted COVID late in pregnancy.
Her baby Lucy was delivered prematurely at 39 weeks while Kelsey was in an induced coma and on a ventilator.
Kelsey remained in the hospital on a ventilator and under a prognosis that included lung transplant before she could return home to a normal life.
MADISON — No pork hock and sauerkraut dinner will be held this year in the St. James Church basement.
The annual event that started decades ago with sauerkraut made by former Dane County Sheriff John Haas is taking a year off.
Haas’ son John continued the tradition of making the sauerkraut and offering it to the parish for the dinner usually held in February or March.
