Spring into a new season in Fort Atkinson!

Spring is just around the corner, and we can’t wait for the bright sunshine, colorful flower blooms, and the return of songbirds. Spring officially starts on Saturday, March 20 but if you’re just as excited as us, we have some ideas to get prepared to celebrate the warming weather in Fort Atkinson.
