Enjoy An Evening With American English - A Tribute To The Beatles

The Verona Area Performing Arts Series brings the American English to the Verona PAC at the high school on Feb. 4 at 7:30 p.m. Tickets are available at VAPAS.org.

The American English concert performers come to us from Chicagoland. Their performance includes songs covering the entire career of The Beatles from 1963-1970. 

Attention is given to every musical detail, as well as costume changes, vintage instruments and special effects.  American English magically creates "The Complete Beatles Tribute."

They have been voted No. 1 by Beatles fans as winners of sound alike contests. They have won Illinois Entertainer of the Year and have been voted "Best Tribute Band" three of the last four years in the Chicagoland area. They perform both in the states and abroad.

Clean Sweep Expands With New Winter Hours

The Clean Sweep Program for recycling household hazardous waste will be open with new winter hours. This is the first such seasonal expansion of the program, according to county officials.

In recognition of this, Dane County Executive Joe Parisi said that "Clean Sweep is a highly successful program that has kept unnecessary and hazardous waste out of the county landfill. We're excited to announce its expansion into the winter months and encourage people can take advantage of it."

Madison mayor Paul Soglin added, “Clearly the generation of hazardous waste is not restricted to one season. I am pleased that the Clean Sweep Program is expanding, as it will not only remove the hazardous materials from our homes but help maintain the integrity of our environment.”

Semi-Trailer Of Donations Delivered To Dane County Humane Society

For the entire month of December, Mounds Pet Food Warehouse collected needed donations for Dane County Humane Society at all of its locations. 

Through the generosity of the surrounding community, the donation drive was a huge success and the Mounds semi-tractor trailer delivered the items to the Dane County Humane Society on Friday.

"The items collected range from toys, food, supplies and litter -- all things that we would otherwise have to purchase," said Gayle Viney, DCHS Public Relations Coordinator, in a news release. "DCHS is amazed every year by the overwhelming amount of items donated through Mounds Humane Holidays Drive. We’re so thankful to live in such an animal supportive community".

Everyone at Dane County Humane Society said they want to send a sincere thank you to Mounds Pet Food Warehouse for their constant and incredible support.
