The village is undergoing several road construction projects on I-43 and Highway 164 that are expected to dramatically affect summer in Big Bend. The village recently canceled its summer farmer's market, citing ongoing construction, and the announcements section of the village website has become a frequently changing billboard of openings and closings. http://www.livinglakecountry.com/mukwonagochief/news/surviving-big-bend-road-construction-b9914240z1-208293581.html Tue, 21 May 2013 06:04:07 PDT http://www.livinglakecountry.com/mukwonagochief/a-little-pt-can-go-a-long-way-b9910333z1-207350801.html The intimate lobby of the new PT Plus in Mukwonago looked a little like somebody's home gym: a few free weights, some stretch bands and two machines I'll never know how to use. But in the course of this assignment learning about physical therapy I learned that it doesn't take much to make a huge difference — if you have the education to back it up. http://www.livinglakecountry.com/mukwonagochief/a-little-pt-can-go-a-long-way-b9910333z1-207350801.html Tue, 14 May 2013 10:30:33 PDT http://www.livinglakecountry.com/mukwonagochief/firm-makes-investment-in-downtown-b9911281z1-207351471.html Village of Mukwonago — One downtown building will soon receive new tenants and a facelift. http://www.livinglakecountry.com/mukwonagochief/firm-makes-investment-in-downtown-b9911281z1-207351471.html Tue, 14 May 2013 10:26:02 PDT http://www.livinglakecountry.com/mukwonagochief/news/aptargroup-invests-50-million-in-mukwonago-ke9rn0a-206420461.html AptarGroup Inc. plans to invest another $50 million in its Mukwonago facility, according to an announcement made Monday. http://www.livinglakecountry.com/mukwonagochief/news/aptargroup-invests-50-million-in-mukwonago-ke9rn0a-206420461.html Tue, 07 May 2013 07:45:37 PDT http://www.livinglakecountry.com/mukwonagochief/news/local-business-caters-for-food-network-g49lc36-205391941.html When the popular Food Network program "Restaurant Impossible" came to Twin Lakes to help rehabilitate struggling restaurant Pier West, a local catering company stepped in for the crew. http://www.livinglakecountry.com/mukwonagochief/news/local-business-caters-for-food-network-g49lc36-205391941.html Tue, 30 Apr 2013 07:58:04 PDT http://www.livinglakecountry.com/mukwonagochief/news/gs-hydraulics-expands-899fca3-203210751.html Looking for additional space for its production operations, GS Hydraulics of New Berlin purchased a 50,000-square-foot building and 14 acres at 926 Perkins Drive from Empire Level in Mukwonago for $2.64 million. http://www.livinglakecountry.com/mukwonagochief/news/gs-hydraulics-expands-899fca3-203210751.html Tue, 16 Apr 2013 08:28:07 PDT http://www.livinglakecountry.com/mukwonagochief/news/north-prairie-restaurateur-gets-top-honor-ii9cdu1-201064971.html Steve Schilling, owner of ZaZING Primo Pizza-Chicken restaurant in North Prairie, has been recognized as the 2013 Restaurateur of the Year by the Wisconsin Restaurant Association. http://www.livinglakecountry.com/mukwonagochief/news/north-prairie-restaurateur-gets-top-honor-ii9cdu1-201064971.html Tue, 02 Apr 2013 08:34:25 PDT http://www.livinglakecountry.com/mukwonagochief/news/fenninger-is-new-assistant-at-chamber-7q99qks-200065971.html Christine Fenninger isn't a new face to Mukwonago, but she is one of the new faces you will meet with the Mukwonago Chamber of Commerce.

The Sikh religion was founded in Northern India in the 15th century by Guru Nanak Dev Ji and is distinct from Islam and Hinduism. Sikhism is monotheistic and stresses the equality of all men and women. Sikhs believe in three basic principles: meditating on the name of God (praying), earning a living by honest means, as well as sharing the fruits of one's labor with others. Sikhism rejects caste and class systems and emphasizes service to humanity. http://www.livinglakecountry.com/mukwonagochief/news/sikhism-at-a-glance-9b6g4tl-166125036.html Tue, 14 Aug 2012 09:08:39 PDT http://www.livinglakecountry.com/mukwonagochief/news/finding-the-silver-lining-in-tornado-vo67fcl-164427566.html When the worst happens, there is always a silver lining; words that West Bend Mutual Insurance Co. strives to prove to its customers every day.
