A note from Mark

My name is Mark and I am the owner of Morgan Solar Energy. Those who know me may remember Morgan Satellite & Electronics which served NE Wisconsin for the last 20 years.

Our country (and recently Wisconsin) have multiple serious problems. Once of them involves how we generate and use energy as a country. As a fact-based individual and company, Morgan Solar Energy aims to be part of a healthy, sustainable solution.

Morgan Solar Energy offers grid-tied and off-grid solar electrical systems which offsets part or all of your electric bill. We can even offer a renewable energy solution that will allow you to buy a plug-in hybrid vehicle and have “your own gas station”! We also offer battery-backup (or battery-based off-grid systems) for when utility power is unavailable.

Morgan Solar Energy is unique in that we can design your system and sell you the parts and pieces at near internet pricing if you wish to install it yourself. Or if you need a little help here and there, we can fit in on an hourly basis. Or if you wish for a turn-key solution, we can do that, too.

We at Morgan Solar Energy are a home-based business and we have a working model of everything we sell. That means we have almost no electrical bill and we can run on battery inverter, solar panels, and integrated generator indefinitely should the local utility disappear.

If you are interested in reducing your energy bill, give us a call and come see what we have done here. You will like our attitude and helpfulness. After all, our primary interest is not making money, but saving the planet. We hope to see you soon.

Sincerely,
Mark

Johnny Rogers’ Buddy & Beyond: History of Roll & Roll

Johnny will transport his audience back in time when you could go to your favorite malt shops with your favorite girl and dance to your favorite bands.

His show will start with his portrayal of country legend Johnny Cash. By his side is the legendary Tommy Allsup (2 time Grammy winning Producer and Artist). Tommy played on more than 6,500 sessions and was Buddy Holly’s friend and lead guitarist from 1958-1959. He escaped death when flipping a coin with Ritchie Valens. Ritchie called heads and the rest is Rock N Roll history. The second show Johnny will portray Elvis Presley re-creating his Sun Studio and early RCA years. The show will climax with Johnny’s uncanny portrayal of the late great Buddy Holly.

OCONTO FALLS LIONESS CLUB ANNUAL CHILI COOK OFF

OFChamber

As part of Oconto Falls Fun Fest, the Oconto Falls Lioness Club hosts the annual Chili Cook-Off.    Falls Fun Fest, held the last weekend of September, has been a community event for many years now and the Chili Cook Off is one of the additions to the festivities.  The Chili Cook-Off is the Lioness Club’s annual fundraiser for the yearly holiday lighting project in Oconto Falls called the “Avenue of Lights”.  The Club raises monies to pay for the improvements at the site and to fund additional displays for the years to come.

If you are a chef, cook or just a chili aficionado, the Chili Cook Off is for you!  Contestants register ahead of time for a small entry fee and can either prepare their entry at the Memorial Field pavilion or bring their entry already prepared.    Three local cooks or chefs do blind tasting of all the entries and then judge them individually.   The public is invited to taste all the entries and to then vote for the chili that they like best.   Cash prizes are awarded and the most popular entry as determined by the public voting is awarded the “People’s Choice” award: a 12 quart stock pot filled with a variety of cooking gadgets and products!

The Lioness Club will be selling their very own chili creation served either with pasta or without and can be dressed with cheese, onion and sour cream.    Some of the contestants will even be kind enough to sell their product with the proceeds going to the Oconto Falls Lioness Club.  Beer & soda will be served.

Watch for posters and news articles in the days to come for further information. Join the Oconto Falls Lioness Club and share in the fun that the Chili Cook Off brings.  You won’t go away hungry!   This event is sponsored by: S.T. Paper, LLC, McDermid Trucking, Oconto Electric Co-op, Gilligans North, Welcome Home Saloon and Good Stuff Grill, and Witt’s Piggly Wiggly.

COME JOIN THE FUN!!
