> already know, the Vernon County Board of Supervisors will make  
> their final vote on the moratorium at the August 7th full County  
> Board meeting.  Before County Supervisors vote on such an important  
> local ordinance, they will have one last public opportunity to hear  
> from the concerned citizens who live, work, and play in Vernon  
> County.  This opportunity comes in the form of a Public Hearing,  
> which is scheduled for Monday, July 30th at 7:00 p.m.  The Public  
> Hearing will be held at the Western Technical College on Main  
> Street in Downtown Viroqua.  Everyone is welcome to attend.
