Here come the farmers markets.
They begin May 1 with the West Allis, Brookfield, Delafield, New Berlin, Waukesha and Oconomowoc farmers markets. Then they start opening fast and furious, more than three dozen of them in and around Milwaukee. The last debuts come in July.
Not all the markets will be back yet, however. The Westown Farmers Market, for example, will be on hiatus again this year. Organizers cite reduced foot traffic downtown because of the pandemic, as many office workers continue to work from home.
Expect to still find precautions taken against COVID-19, although there is some easing of rules made last year as the pandemic gained its foothold. Some markets are resuming live music, for instance, or considering resuming music later in the season.
One of the women involved in the Slender Man stabbing will soon appear before the Waukesha County Circuit Court judge who sentenced her to 25 years in a state mental facility to request her release.
Anissa Weier, now 19 years old, has spent the last 3½ years at the Winnebago Mental Health Institute after a jury found her not criminally responsible due to a mental disease in the stabbing that nearly killed a classmate in a sensationalized crime that gained worldwide coverage.
Weier was 12 when she and Morgan Geyser lured Payton Leutner into the woods, stabbed her 19 times and told police they did so to appease a fictional internet horror character named Slender Man.
