Last week, the Appleton Post-Crescent surveyed our readers, asking about the most family-friendly trail in the Fox Cities. While several parks and trails were nominated, we saw a clear favorite: the Trestle Trail in Menasha and Neenah. The Trestle Trail includes a 1,600-foot bridge across Little Lake Butte des Morts flanked by Shepard Park in Menasha and Fritse Park in Neenah. The trail is part of two larger trail systems, Loop the Little Lake and the Friendship State Trail.

Columbus Elementary School in Appleton held a closing ceremony May 29. The 130-year-old building will be repurposed to house alternative and special education programs.

Current and former students, staff and other community members said goodbye May 29 to Columbus Elementary School, 913 N. Oneida St., Appleton.
