  1. If that pic is from this AM, the information is incorrect.

    Today’s fire was a barn on NW corner of Rte 47 & Charles Rd.

  2. I believe that was the old Mike Melzer farm.

    They had the most popular farm market around in the 60-80’s.

    Great location as folks were traveling to and fro Lake Geneva.

    Super nice folks, raised the BEST cantaloupe and other melons (we had best sweet corn!)

    We would trade corn for melons.

    Total shame if the fire was deliberate, this grand barn could have served the community in many ways.

    Thank God for farmers!

  3. Gary, maybe somebodiy’s fat marijuana cigar started the blaze.
