New on the Village Square
Frank's Main Street Sweets Station Opens on the Square — With a Story Worth Knowing
A new candy shop at 2885 Main Street brings sweetness to the village — and raises money for kids who've been through a lot.

East Troy's village square has a new neighbor. Frank's Main Street Sweets Station, located on the south side of the square at 2885 Main Street, recently opened its doors. The small shop is a companion to Frank's Lunchbox.

Behind both ventures is Frank, a retired fire chief and design builder with deep roots in the East Troy community.

Follow both Frank's Lunchbox and Frank's Main Street Sweets Station on Facebook for current hours and updates.

St. Patty's Day Party at Eagle Springs Golf Resort: March 21
One of Wisconsin's most historic golf courses serves up live music, food, and Irish spirit this weekend.

Eagle Springs Golf Resort (W352 S10355 Tuohy Rd, Eagle) hosts its Annual St. Patty's Day Celebration on Saturday, March 21. Live music runs 3–6 PM courtesy of Frog Water, with food available for purchase from Sandwich Sisters.

Eagle Springs is no ordinary golf course — founded in 1893 by Irish immigrants John and Mary Tuohy, it holds the distinction of being the oldest family-owned nine-hole golf resort in Wisconsin and is ranked 23rd among the 50 best 9-hole courses in the world by Golf Magazine. Now in its sixth generation of family ownership under Anne and Matt Krug, the resort is a genuine Lake Country treasure. Tee times available at eaglespringsgolfresort.com or call 262-594-2462.
