Goodbye, The Flower Shoppe, and hello, Northern Roots.

Not only does the Oconto Falls floral and gift store at 224 N. Main St. have a new name, it has a new owner as well.

That new owner is Lori Fournier, who recently purchased the business from Melanie and Matt Rice. Fournier is no stranger to the business, as she worked at The Flower Shoppe for 18 years.

Yami Sweeney said that if she knew how much she loved being a nail technician, she would have started a long time ago.

She also knows people’s past shapes their future, and previous decisions lead one to their current place in life.

Today, she is the owner of Painted Dock Nail Salon in Cecil, a business that held its grand opening Oct. 6.

It used to be a vacant building on Suring’s Main Street that housed several different banks over the years.

It’s now the community’s latest travel destination.

For close to 25 years, Mike and Karen Van Dyn Hoven have raised bison on their ranch located at W3502 State Highway 156 in rural Pulaski.

Providing an alternative, heart-healthy red meat product to consumers, they open-pasture about 40 head of bison. Mike Van Dyn Hoven was a science teacher at Hortonville High School for 31 years before he toyed with the idea of raising bison, contemplating the endeavor as his retirement business.
