So, Caledonia and Wind Point cover a lot of ground in southeast Wisconsin. This big area is home to big animals (like Libby's horses and Jo Don Farm's camels), and big companies (Norco, for one), big bugs (grown at the SC Johnson Institute of Insect Science for Family Health --- yikes!) and a big Wurlitzer organ (under a small house --- no kidding!).

It's also home to people with big talent (especially Bill Reid and Sherry Lou) and places of big beauty (the Wind Point Light House and The Prairie School, just to name a few). There's big fun to be had (surfing and kickball), and you can satisfy your big taste buds (at Sebastian's).

Yep. Caledonia and Wind Point are a big deal!

Tractor trailer driver avoids flipping over.

A driver for Butler transport got caught in high winds here in Kansas and narrowly avoided flipping over with some great driving skill. KCTV5 stopped by here at Apex CDL Institute to talk about the incident.
