Carlisle Lake Construction Project
                                      What's going on?   

A concrete pad has been poured, utilities have been brought over to the pad for a Caretaker for the Park.  Also behind the new pad, a shop will be going up for storage.  A main entry gate will be going up as well.  The Playground has also added two new pieces of equipment and the playground will be expanded with wood chips very soon and some grass planted in that area, new boundary rocks instead of the big freeway blocks, and the parking lot will be sealed soon as well and other miscellaneous projects.

​
It is with a very sad heart that the Onalaska Alliance board has decided to cancel this year's Apple Harvest Festival due to uncertainty with Covid-19.   The Apple Harvest Festival is a highlight for our community because of the many involved and engaged volunteers.  We appreciate every one of you and look forward to making the 2021 Apple Harvest Festival the best one yet!
Thank you for your continued support of the mission of Onalaska Alliance to make this a great community to live, work and play.
