Residents raise concerns of raised farmer’s market contract fees

EAU CLAIRE — Residents filled the Eau Claire City Council chambers this week, raising concerns regarding potential raised fees in a contract with the Eau Claire Downtown Farmer’s Market. On social media, concerns first arose, noting a potential price spike which would increase the cost of their contract by 200%, more than tripling the price. During public comment on Monday night, Eau Claire Downtown Farmer’s Market Board Member and vendor representative True Vue said, “I want to begin by saying that our intention tonight is not to create any conflict with the city. We value our relationship with the city of Eau Claire and we love the place where our farmer’s market is right now. We are here because we care about this community and we want to find a solution that allows the farmer’s market and the city to continue working together. “Our concern is the proposed increase in the pavilion reservation fees. It was given to us, we did send back a different proposal, it came back to us denied, and we don’t agree with what’s been given to us. And hence why we are bringing it forward to the city council to be aware of.” In addition

All-American wrestler Unser has golden goals for Blugolds

Wyatt Unser entered his freshman season of college with high expectations. And he achieved a majority of them. The two-time state champion from Glenwood City had a superb rookie season at 133 pounds for the UW-Eau Claire wrestling team. Unser captured a conference title last season, was named WIAC Newcomer of the Year and became an All-American after placing seventh at the NCAA Division III Championships. Now he is looking to build on and exceed what he did as a freshman. “National champ, that is the target of course,” Unser said. “That is what I was shooting for last year. I fell short, but if you aim for high goals you’re going to get a lot of high achievements, too. I was still an All-American and I want to improve on that. I’m focused on winning that title.” Unser is still at 133, but he looks bigger and stronger this season. “I worked hard over the summer,” he said. “It’s nice to get the season started. Getting back on the mat, it’s exciting. This is what I have been training for.” Unser won his first match of the season by technical fall last Wednesday at the McPhee Center before winning
