Got A Dollar? Give Them A Holler
A US village is trying to get around having to demolish a decrepit, old bridge by selling it for $1. The Kickapoo River bridge in Soldiers Grove, Wisconsin, was closed to traffic in the 1970s and officials hope high scrap prices will attract a buyer with a buck burning a hole in his pocket. The 1910 bridge was a major community link until a new route was built.
FOOTNOTE: A buck stops here.

In The Long Run
Fund-Raisers Are Not Tired, Just Groggy
Only in Wisconsin do beer and exercise mix. Several hundred people laced up for a 2km charity race in which suds were the refresher of choice. Competitors in the 19th annual Beer Belly Two might not be considered athletes, but they know how to have a good time. Event veteran Mike Marin said this is one workout he can really get into. The race has raised more than $350,000 for local charities since its inception.
