SUPERIOR, Wis. (Northern News Now) - The Head of the Lakes fairgrounds in Superior is asking residents for ideas they want to see in the future. From racing and rodeos to live music and group events, the fairgrounds host events year-round, but it can put a lot of wear and tear on the grounds. That’s why the University of Wisconsin Superior (UWS) was asked by Douglas County to create an assessment for people to share their thoughts on this public space.

Offenders who successfully complete a year’s probation and their treatment plan would have the violation removed from their record, he said.
