🗳️ VOTERS: WHAT TO KNOW ABOUT ELECTION MAILERS - Voter Registration or Absentee Applications

As the November 3 General Election approaches, Wisconsin residents may begin receiving voter registration forms, absentee ballot applications, and other election-related mailings from third-party organizations.

📬 An important reminder: These third-party mailings are NOT being sent by your local municipal clerk’s office or the Wisconsin Elections Commission.

Receiving one of these mailings does not necessarily mean there is an issue with your voter registration or absentee ballot status.

🔗 Learn more here: https://aptg.co/TBmDNh

✅ Wisconsin voters can check their voter registration status, register to vote, request an absentee ballot, and track their absentee ballot through the official MyVote Wisconsin website at MyVote.wi.gov.

If you receive an election-related mailing and are unsure whether it is official or whether you need to take action, please contact your local municipal clerk’s office at (920) 532-5567 before providing personal information or returning the form.

We are always happy to help make sure you have accurate information as Election Day approaches!

Election Day: Tuesday, November 3, 2026
🕖 Polls are open from 7:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m.

🌳 Plum Creek Ravine Tree Removal Project 🌳

Residents may notice activity under the bridge in the Plum Creek Ravine over the coming days. The Village has contracted with a logging company to remove the abundance of dead ash trees throughout the area.

This work is being completed in preparation for the future opening of the new Plum Creek Trail. Removing these hazardous trees is an important step in creating a safer environment for future trail users. The project will also enhance the appearance of the ravine, promote healthier vegetation, and encourage new growth for years to come.

For your safety, please use caution and stay clear of the work area. We appreciate your patience and understanding as we work to improve this natural area for the enjoyment of our community.

Thank you for your cooperation!

EAGLE III Safety Update: ATV & UTV Safety in the Wrightstown Area
As warmer weather returns to Wrightstown and surrounding communities, more residents are taking advantage of local trails and rural roads with ATVs and UTVs. With that increase in activity comes a higher risk of injury, making this a good time to focus on safe riding practices.

ATV and UTV accidents are among the more common causes of serious trauma in rural Wisconsin. Many incidents involve rollovers, collisions, or ejections, often resulting in head injuries, broken bones, or other life-threatening conditions. In more severe cases, patients may require rapid transport to higher-level trauma centers, sometimes by air, to receive the care they need.

The good news is that many of these injuries are preventable.

Key Safety Tips:

Wear a Helmet Every Ride
Helmets significantly reduce the risk of head injury. Even short trips or rides on familiar property can be dangerous without proper protection.

Ride Sober
Alcohol and recreational vehicles are a dangerous combination. Impaired judgment and slower reaction times greatly increase the risk of a crash.

Know Your Machine
ATVs and UTVs handle differently than cars or trucks. Take time to understand how your vehicle turns, brakes, and responds on different terrain.

Stay Within Your Limits
Excessive speed and uneven terrain are common causes of rollovers. Ride at a safe speed and avoid unnecessary risks.

Supervise Young Riders
Children should only operate age-appropriate vehicles and always be supervised. Adult-sized machines are not designed for younger riders.

Accidents can happen in an instant, especially in rural areas where distance, terrain, and access can impact how quickly patients reach definitive care. When emergencies do occur, local EMS, fire departments, and regional critical care resources work together to ensure patients receive timely, appropriate care based on the severity of their injuries. Wrightstown's trails/roads are meant to be enjoyed. By riding smart, staying alert, and following a few simple safety precautions, you can help ensure every ride ends safely.
