Events returning to city after a quiet year due to COVID Boscobel Depot Museum
BOSCOBEL - Starting with last week’s Easter Egg Hunt and Fireworks Fundraiser, the return of annual events in Boscobel signals a return to somewhat more normal times one year after the coronavirus outbreak, although officials still strongly recommend wearing masks and social distancing, as well as getting the COVID-19 vaccine when available.
Beginning Saturday, May 1, the Boscobel Farmer’s Market returns to Depot Park from 8 a.m. to noon through October. May 1 also marks the opening of the Depot Heritage Museum Saturdays from 9-1, also through October. Depot Day will be held on Saturday, June 19.
Room tax funds allocated In Boscobel BOSCOBELS new logo will soon be going up on four new entrance signs to the city, as well as 12 directional signs pointing motorists to important Boscobel destinations. The citys new brand: Boscobel: Wisconsins Outdoor Recreation Destination was a collaborative effort between the Boscobel Developers, Chamber of Commerce and city leaders.
BOSCOBEL - Last year was a challenging one for small businesses due to the COVID-19 outbreak, and motels were no exception, with occupancy rates down substantially. As a result, room tax funds were also down significantly, including in Boscobel.
In February 2019, the Boscobel Room Tax and Appropriations Committee distributed $35,500. Last year it was $25,000 with funds collected the previous year on the city’s 5% room tax.
