Oostburg Weekly: Back-to-Back State Champs, Spring Election Nears
It was a big week for Oostburg pride, with a state title adding to community momentum as residents also look ahead to the April spring election and continued highway construction.
Oostburg Girls Basketball Wins Back-to-Back State Title
The Oostburg High School girls basketball team secured its second straight WIAA Division 3 state championship earlier this month, defeating Wisconsin Dells 64–37 in the title game. The win caps another standout season and reinforces the program’s growing legacy at the state level.
The championship run drew strong community support, with families and fans traveling to back the Flying Dutchmen. For residents, the repeat title is more than a sports headline — it is a point of local pride and a celebration of student-athlete achievement.
With spring sports now underway, the focus shifts to soccer, baseball, and other extracurriculars, but the basketball team’s accomplishment will likely be recognized at upcoming school and community events.
Spring Election Set for April 7
Oostburg voters are preparing for Wisconsin’s Spring Election on Tuesday, April 7, 2026. Local ballots may include school board and municipal races, along with any statewide or judicial contests.
Residents who have not yet registered can do so at their municipal clerk’s office or at the polls on Election Day, provided they bring required identification. Absentee voting options are also available ahead of April 7.
With local government decisions directly affecting schools, property taxes, and village services, turnout in spring elections often plays an outsized role in shaping community priorities.
I-43 Construction Continues Near Oostburg
Work along the I-43 corridor in Sheboygan County remains ongoing, with construction activity continuing to affect travel between Oostburg and surrounding communities. Drivers may encounter lane shifts, reduced speeds, and periodic ramp adjustments as crews advance seasonal work.
For commuters heading north toward Sheboygan or south toward Port Washington and Milwaukee, officials continue to encourage checking 511WI before traveling and allowing extra time, especially during peak weekday hours.
The project is part of a broader regional effort to modernize and improve safety along the interstate, which serves as a primary artery for many Oostburg residents.
Community Notes
Recent obituary notices also marked the passing of longtime community members, including Carol Ann Wieberdink. Services and memorial information have been shared locally, offering neighbors an opportunity to support the family and reflect on her contributions to the community.
As March turns to April, residents can expect school activities, church events, and early spring sports to fill community calendars. With Sunday forecast to reach near 60 degrees and more mild weather early next week, outdoor practices and activities are likely to pick up across the village.
