If you've ever been to a Culver's, chances are you've sampled its simple (but brilliant) ButterBurger, so-called because the top of the bun is smeared with a dollop of rich, creamy butter. This gives an otherwise normal burger a little extra oomph. The chain got its start in Sauk City, Wisconsin, in the heart of America's dairyland, and being from the state with the most dairy farms, a local creamery was the obvious choice for the brand to source its butter from.

Rock Prairie Presbyterian Church will host its annual Holiday Bazaar Friday, Nov. 6, and Saturday, Nov. 7, offering visitors an opportunity to shop for holiday gifts, enjoy homemade treats and support local charitable organizations. Court Commissioner Mason Brownschwieg OK'd the $2 million bond, saying it was the "minimum" amount needed to make sure Bradley stays in custody following what the Rock County Medical Examiner says was the death of Melissa Bradley, 52 on Oct. 25.
