"The only way to do great work is to love what you do." - Steve Jobs

For many Kenosha parents, finding a consistent fitness routine that sticks can feel like an impossible task.

A local gym is offering a new approach for those feeling left behind by traditional models that often leave members to fend for themselves.

At Good Day CrossFit, every class is fully guided by a coach from start to finish, eliminating the guesswork and intimidation of a crowded gym floor.

This structured environment is a clear departure from the norm.

The programming is specifically designed for the bodies and packed schedules of working parents in our community.

Perhaps the most vital element is the strong sense of community.

Members find motivation not just from the workouts, but from the people beside them, creating a powerful support system that keeps them coming back.

The celebrated Kenosha HarborMarket is officially returning to the lakefront, signaling the start of the summer season.

This beloved European-style market takes place every Saturday along 2nd Avenue, nestled beside Kenosha's picturesque museums.

This year, the market introduces a new weekly theme, Savor Saturdays, which offers free family-friendly activities.

These events include art projects led by Lemon Street Gallery, cooking demonstrations from local chefs, and story times.

With well over 100 small businesses participating, the market remains a bustling hub for everything from artisan cheese and local produce to handcrafted gifts.

It’s more than just a place to shop; it's a weekly celebration of our community’s vibrant spirit.

The Kenosha Public Library’s Bookmobile will also be a regular feature, making this cherished tradition an experience that truly defines Saturdays in our city.

In the wake of recent local flooding, Kenosha County Public Health is offering free well water testing for all affected residents.

Officials are urging anyone whose private well was touched by high water to participate.

Floodwaters can introduce harmful bacteria and other contaminants into drinking water, creating an urgent health risk for families.

This proactive program is designed to ensure water safety and provide peace of mind.

Free test kits are available through the end of May at various locations, including the Kenosha County Center in Bristol and the village halls in Paddock Lake, Salem Lakes, and Twin Lakes.

You can also pick them up at the town halls for Randall and Wheatland or the Pleasant Prairie Public Works Department.

Completed samples can be returned to the Public Health offices at the Job Center or the Kenosha County Center on designated days.

Kenosha is rallying behind one of its own, Dominic Santarelli, a senior at Kenosha St. Joseph High School who is making national headlines.

Widely considered Wisconsin’s top baseball prospect, he commands the attention of Major League Baseball scouts every time he plays.

The powerful six-foot-one athlete embraces the pressure, viewing it as a unique opportunity.

Santarelli’s talent was on full display when he was named Wisconsin's prep Player of the Year as a junior.

He also earned MVP honors at an All-American game played at the iconic Dodger Stadium, a moment he described as surreal.

Driven by a relentless work ethic that has dramatically improved his speed, Santarelli has already committed to play for collegiate powerhouse LSU.

The entire community is eagerly watching as this grounded hometown star chases a massive professional dream.
