Daily Bread for Whitewater, Wisconsin: 1-19-10

Good morning,

The weather forecast for today calls for areas of patchy fog, with a high of twenty-nine.

In the City of Whitewater today, there will be a meeting of the Whitewater University Tech Park Board at 3 PM at the municipal building.  Later, at 6:30 PM, there will be a meeting of the Common Council.

There will be a band concert at Lincoln (Elementary) School, home of the Leopards, at 2 PM and again at 6 PM.

The Wisconsin Historical Society notes that today is no ordinary day in Wisconsin, and surely not in nearby Fort Atkinson:
