Clean up Milan week is taking place from June 13 – June 20. This is the second year to hold this weeklong event. With social distancing and guidelines in place, this year will not include groups and organizations pulling together to paint and spruce up the town.

1,000’s of gallons of milk given away

The line was long last Wednesday, June 10 when the semi truck with Prairie Farm milk on the side was in place at the Versailles IGA store. It was supposed to be given away from 10:00 a.m. until noon. However, the milk truck was early, and volunteers were in place by 9:30, so the process began. They were still handing out gallons of milk at 1:00 p.m.
