The Salute to Veterans: A Walk in Their Shoes
It will feature a story from WWII, called “The Ghost Army.” The Ghost Army was
officially known as the 23rd Headquarters Special Troops. From June 1944 to March
1945, it staged 20 battlefield deceptions, beginning in Normandy and ending along
the Rhine River. Members of the Ghost Army engaged an array of inflatables (tanks,
trucks, jeeps, airplanes), sound trucks, phony radio transmissions and even
playacting to fool the enemy. We will have (if health permits) two members of the
Ghost Army, along with a historian coming to Marathon County to share this little­
known story of WWII with the community. Rick Beyer, the historian, will be sending
one of the inflatable tanks to be on display as he and two veterans of The Ghost
Army give their presentations to area students, school staff, and community
members. The Ghost Army of World War II describes the highly imaginative and
daring maneuver that helped open the way for the final drive to Germany.
There will be two free community presentations thanks to our sponsors.
• Tuesday, November 10, 2015 from 6:30pm to 7:30pm in the Edgar High School
Auditorium
• Wednesday, November 11, 2015 from 6:30pm to 7:30pm in the Center for Civic
Engagement Building at UW Marathon County. For more information about this event, contact Colin Hanson at

Celebrate Your Local Farmers at the 8th Annual Farmer Tribute Dinner! The public is
invited to attend Central Rivers Farmshed’s 8th Annual Farmer Tribute Dinner on
Saturday, November 14th. Each year this event brings community members
together to honor our local farmers and celebrate the harvest season. Farms listed
in the Central Wisconsin Farm Fresh Atlas are treated to this meal at the end of
each growing season in recognition of their hard work and dedication to provide
fresh food for our community. Community members purchase tickets to join the
celebration and help sponsor the farmers’ meals.
