    My Goose Neighbors Are Back

    First, Gander came by to check.  He and Goose are beginning their 7th year nesting on the island in the pond.  It’s a good spot for a goose nest because the water surrounding the island protects it from the coyotes and egg-raiders while the tall grass of the island makes great aerial camouflage for the Read more

Trego’s Civic Center is due some expensive repairs- with insurance premiums already high, Read more

  • Trego School Ice Fishing Trip

    Trego School Ice Fishing Trip

    Last week, students and their families made their way to Murphy Lake for an Ice Fishing trip. It was a warm, pleasant day with chili dogs grilled beside the lake. A successful trip, since all but one student caught fish. Where are the kids now? Spring break runs throughout the rest of this week. Classes Read more
