Third baseman Paul Molitor and shortstop Robin Yount were headliners at the Loggers Winter Barbecue inside the La Crosse Center. Fans and reporters had a chance to ask about Yount's 20 seasons in Milwaukee...Molitor's hitting streak of 1987...and about the Brewers' only World Series, in 1982. Molitor's favorite memory of playing at County Stadium is tied to the '82 Series...especially to the 5th game, when the Brewers came within one win of the title. Yount also has a cherished memory from that series...hitting a home run at Milwaukee, also in the 5th game.
Quillin's Out At Village, Festival InThursday, 27 January 2011 14:18 | | |
Two families that have been grocery store rivals for decades in the Coulee Region are becoming partners...
Quillin's will shut down its two La Crosse stores, at Shelby and the Village, with the Village site making way for a new Festival store, run by the Skogen family. Phil Quillin admits it will be odd not to have his family name on a store in La Crosse, after 66 years. But he says the five other Quillin's stores in the area are going strong. The Shelby Quillin's will temporarily become a Festival store in April, just as the Village store closes. The Quillin family will be the landlords of both sites, and we're told that the building at Shelby will NOT be turned into a banquet hall. Snowboarder Hit By CarThursday, 27 January 2011 09:37 | | |

It may have been the worst kept secret in town. Festival Foods is buying two Quillin's stores and plans to tear one of them down. The Quillin's and Skogen families are finally confirming what has been rumored for months. The Quillin's in the Village and Quillin's Shelby location are being purchased by the Skogens. The Village store will be torn down and replaced by a new Festival. The Shelby location will stay open until the new Festival is built, and then will be closed. The sale leaves La Crosse without a Quillin's. Quillin's stores remain on French Island and in La Crescent, Decorah, Waukon and Caledonia.
