Team Greenfire gathered for a National Hot Cocoa Day celebration, expertly organized by Cheryl Bousquet. Her meticulous planning transformed the Milwaukee office’s kitchen into a winter wonderland! Everyone had the chance to customize their velvety cocoa with a delightful array of toppings and ingredients. Alongside everyone’s cocoa were plenty of festive cookies, desserts and other treats.
Whether you prefer marshmallows, candy canes, a mystery cocoa bomb, or whether you prefer your cocoa milk based, water based, or a little mixture of both; everyone could agree that this was a very tasty way to celebrate the Holiday Season!
Team Greenfire embraced the holiday cheer at our annual Ugly Sweater Contest & White Elephant Gift Exchange! Laughter filled the air as we picked swapped and stole gifts from the collection of White Elephant gifts, and the variety of quirky yet fun sweaters on display added to the festive atmosphere.
A wonderful variety of gifts we’re offered in the gift exchange. Gifts ranged from goofy, practical to downright silly. Everyone had a chance to pick their mystery gift and either keep it or swap n’ steal from someone else!
Special congratulations to Nate Brown, who claimed the victory at the Wausau office, and Rebecca Sadler, our champion in the Milwaukee office! Last year’s winner Brian Kraus was generous enough to bestow Rebecca the honors & trophy as this year’s winner at the Milwaukee office.
The day certainly let our creativity and festive spirit stand out, making the event even more memorable for Team Greenfire.
Market on River will be the “It” place in Chippewa Falls in 2024. The historic renovation in downtown Chippewa Falls will be a catalytic project and attract small businesses and visitors alike. The 45,000 square foot, mixed-use building will have a food hall on the first floor with several spaces for entrepreneurs and small businesses to operate. The second floor will be the headquarters for the Wisconsin Farmers Union and have gathering and event spaces. The third floor will have apartments.
On September 26, 2023, the Wisconsin Farmers Union held a community open house and brick signing celebration to mark the beginning of construction for the historic renovation project.
This project marks an important milestone in the story of the Wisconsin Farmers Union as they look to preserve the past while thinking towards the future. The building was constructed in 1916 after a fire destroyed the previous structure. It was home to the Chippewa Valley Mercantile Company. The restoration will be thoughtful and careful to embrace the past of this building and be a catalyst for future economic growth in the area.
The living spaces are coined as Social Living and will provide great views, access to local businesses and opportunities for engagement. There is a bike path nearby and a park across the street, making this a desirable destination for anyone from young professionals to families. The Market on River will be a valuable asset to Chippewa Falls and beyond.
