ENDEAVOR, Wis. For the first time in almost 60 years, two nuns were reunited with a piece of art they created a lifetime ago: a mosaic of Our Lady of Guadalupe.
Over 100 people gathered to see the piece of art and the artists who created it.
The shrine was originally built so seasonal migrant workers of Wisconsin could worship a familiar figure.
“We started this in 1964. When I see it now, it looks exactly the same,” artist Kathleen Stagney said. “When you look at it from any area here in front, you can see the Mother’s eyes looking at you and she said, ‘How’d you do that?’ and I said, ‘We didn’t do it. It’s just the way it happens.”

A grand opening one year in the making took place at Soaky Mountain Waterpark on Friday, which also included $6,000 in donations to local charities.
The attraction was open in 2020 with reduced hours and limited capacity because of the COVID-19 pandemic, but has opened for this season without those restrictions in place.
âWe had the 2020 season, but it wasnât what we thought it would be obviously because of the pandemic and we reduced our capacity and we didnât open on time. We were three weeks later than we had planned, but that was because of a lot of the stuff going on,â said Joe Eck, chief operating officer of Wilderness Resort and Waterparks.
