SUN PRAIRIE, Wis. We needed some good news to start 2021, and Sun Prairie Jimmy is coming through, predicting an early end to winter.
The famous prognosticator did not see his shadow in a virtual ceremony this year, indicating an early end to the season at least once we get past our next snow chances and cold blast in the forecast.
This year’s ceremony looked different than in years past, with no big gathering in Sun Prairie due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Instead, Jimmy appeared with Mayor Paul Esser in a video, whispering his prediction into the mayor’s ear.
Sun Prairie Realtor and Radio Personality Bill Baker announced he is running for the District 2 Alder Seat currently held by Bob Jokisch.
âWe live in the greatest city in Wisconsin and whether it is selling a home to a new resident or talking about one of our outstanding restaurants, I have always been proud to represent our amazing city,â Baker said.
Recently, Baker was the recipient of the Charles D. Ashley award presented by Mayor Paul Esser and the entire City Council for his community involvement and nonprofit activities. During that ceremony on Zoom, Baker thanked the City Council and corrected an article from Money magazine. Baker wanted all viewing to know that Money Magazine made a mistake when they rated Sun Prairie the 40th best place to live, because it has always been #1.
