The story
from WikipediaRead it all ↗There were Winter Carnivals from 1940 to 1942. In 1942, 4,000 people attended. There were dog sled races and ski jumping contests.
Until 2007, the village was unique for depending neither on the town constable nor the county sheriff for law enforcement but had a police force of its own. While it was not village policy to have fines as a money maker, the department did break even. It earned $39,070.12 in fines and other revenue in 2006.
