Town of Lyndon, Weekly News Brief (Sheboygan County Focus)
Public safety
Waldo house fire draws large response
A Thursday morning (Feb. 19) house fire on Mulberry Drive in the Village of Waldo brought a large multi-department response. Authorities reported the garage was fully involved and the fire began spreading to the home; no one was inside at the time, and the cause remains under investigation. Multiple fire departments and EMS resources assisted, along with the Sheboygan County Fire Investigation Team.
For Town of Lyndon residents, this is a reminder to review winter fire risks (space heaters, chimney/woodstove use, and safe ash disposal) and to keep driveways accessible for apparatus, especially after snow and drifting.
Community & events
Vendor applications live for SCIO Farmers Market (Downtown Sheboygan)
Sheboygan County Interfaith Organization (SCIO) announced vendor applications are now open for the 2026 season of the SCIO Farmers Market at Fountain Park in Sheboygan. The market is scheduled for Wednesdays and Saturdays, 8:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m., June through October, and SCIO is adding a ‘Community Corner’ concept to highlight local culture, food, and music at the bandshell. SCIO also listed two vendor meeting sessions in April (RSVP required).
This is a useful early heads-up for Town of Lyndon growers, cottage-food vendors (where permitted), makers, and community groups that want a steady regional outlet for sales and outreach.
Local government & planning (nearby, resident-relevant)
City of Sheboygan seeks public input on its comprehensive plan
The City of Sheboygan is encouraging community participation in its ongoing comprehensive plan process. While the plan is city-focused, Sheboygan is the county’s largest service hub (jobs, shopping, medical care, and events), so plan decisions can affect travel patterns and how residents use city facilities. If you regularly commute into Sheboygan or attend city programs, this is a chance to weigh in through the channels provided by the city and its planning partners.
