The Waushara –Wautoma Senior Center in partnership with the Waushara Prevention Council/ subcommittee, Active Aging, will be hosting the annual Community Fair on October 2, 2021 from 10 a.m. – Noon. The fair will be used to highlight the many different social and community organizations we have to offer in Waushara County. The goal is to have as many age groups as possible represented and to be an all inclusive fair. Along with the organizations, we will also be offering flu/pneumonia shots and RX medication drop off. The flu shots are a big draw every year and we average over 100 people with just this. The tables for the organizations will be set up in the main bingo room with the flu shots in the card room and RX drop off in the rear of the building. With this set up, we feel the organizations that participate should have an excellent base for people to come by and visit their tables. We are asking that no sales be done at this fair. The organizations are encouraged to bring printed material and demonstrations are very welcome.
The Senior Center will provide the tables in the 58 x 48 ft. bingo hall. The Center has plenty of parking both in the front and rear. The space will be 4 ft x 3 ft (1/2 of a table)for a $10 cost or 8 ft. x 3ft. (full table) for a $20 cost. The space will be limited so please send in your application as soon as possible.
Waushara County has so many wonderful things to offer for those who live here and also for those who visit. The goal is to have all of Waushara County represented whether from Poy Sippi, Plainfield, Coloma, Redgranite, Pine River, Hancock, Wild Rose, or Wautoma. We hope you will join us in this showcase of these great organizations at one convenient location.
If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to call the Senior Center Mon-Fri 8:30 a.m. – 2:30 p.m. @ (920)787-2055.

News Release, October 2021; 507-460-6939 or 507-250-7905 for more info Horror Is Back at Nightmare in Fountain! The time is nearly ripe for the re-emergence of Nightmare on First Street: Field of Screams & Haunted Barn in Fountain, called by many “The Best Haunted Event Ever!” After last year’s Covid hiatus, this scary and spooky non-profit fundraiser is back and set to chill and thrill patrons for its tenth year. Funds raised this year will benefit the Fillmore County History Center in Fountain, MN, the best history center in a town of only 400 people, whose volunteers will be among those helping to run Nightmare. Each year Nightmare is different from the past, but this year it is being completely rebuilt! Routes are changed, walls are moved, and details abound. Hundreds of hours every year go into the metamorphosis of this scary delight. Attendees can expect creepy scenes, hand-carved pumpkins, labyrinthine routes, screams and moans, surprises and scares, live actors, and maybe even an appearance by DEATH. The theme this year is Haunted Mansion & Estate. You may discover a rabid butler, murderous nanny, cleaver-wielding cook, ghostly servants, stairway to oblivion, poisoned feast, overly-welcoming coffin, torturous dungeon, and so much more!! Expanding to nine nights this year, Nightmare is created and hosted by Paul & Regan Little of Fountain. Numerous others help with the presentation of the event.

Dogs have long been called man’s best friend, but now there’s scientific research behind it. Julia Meyers-Manor, Ripon College assistant professor of psychology, will give a free educational talk here at Town Square on Thursday, October 28 at 6:30 p.m. on her research on dog empathy and whether our best friends really do feel our pain.
Dogs have long been called man’s best friend, but now there’s scientific research behind it. Julia Meyers-Manor, Ripon College assistant professor of psychology, will give a free educational talk here at Town Square on Thursday, October 28 at 6:30 p.m. on her research on dog empathy and whether our best friends really do feel our pain. Professor Meyers-Manor’s research interests are in emotion and cognition in non-human animals. As a professional dog trainer, she has particular interests in understanding dog cognition as well as behavior problems. Her research shows that dogs respond with comfort to an individual who was crying whether that person was their owner or a complete stranger. “Dogs have been companions to humans for over 15,000 years, but how has that relationship influenced a dog’s ability to understand human emotions? Understanding empathy in dogs may help us in understanding the roots of human empathy and the consequences of using dogs as our emotional supports,” Meyers-Manor said.
A good old-fashioned Halloween party with costumes, games, goodies and lots of fun. Come play Halloween Bingo, decorate a pumpkin, watch some kiddie movies, and do some ghost tossing. You won’t leave empty handed!
