Keto Boston Cream Cake. Keto Key Lime Bars. Keto Chocolate Chip Cookie Swirl Cheesecake. That lineup sounds like a cheat day, yet every item skips the sugar.

That's the focus, anyway, of Pink Friday Weekend , which returns to downtown Janesville the weekend of Nov. 20 - 22. 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.
