📰 News we're reading

• Craft fairs abound this weekend (gmtoday.com) — Two Grafton craft fairs will offer handmade holiday gifts Saturday, both running from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Berkshire Grafton Senior Apartments, 1004 Beech St., will feature local artists, while Grace Lutheran Church, 715 Sixth Ave., will host a sale benefiting the Circle of Empowerment.
   

• Dam work delayed until spring (gmtoday.com) — Grafton's Bridge Street Dam repairs must wait until spring because raising water levels could drown amphibians hibernating along the bank, according to the village's engineering consultant. The delay won't change the contractor's bid, officials say, but extends a breakdown that has left the dam's gate open since May.
   

• Black Hawks nearly do it again (gmtoday.com) — Grafton's latest playoff comeback fell short Friday, ending the Black Hawks' season with a 30-21 quarterfinal loss to Monona Grove. After trailing 21-7 at halftime, Grafton rallied to tie the game behind sophomore quarterback Drew Olson, who threw for 274 yards while filling in for injured starter Hunter Klippel.
