With road construction on Main St nearing the end we are inviting guests who come for visitations and services at Blanchard Hall to enter through the front entrances. Entering through our back entrance is still welcome as well but most traffic will be coming through the front.
Parking is available on Main Street, some handicap parking in our back gravel lot, and then parking in the community lot by the library.

The death of Toni Cleasby has been a terrible shock and loss to her son Derek whom she lived with in Blanchardville, and daughter Sheila in suburban Madison. Also to her grandchildren, family and many friends in Blanchardville and Eau Claire.

The Saether family also feels this loss because Toni was a next-door neighbor to Paul and Julie, and they were just beginning to get to know her as a good friend.

We want to thank her family for asking us to help them after Toni’s untimely and unexpected death.
