Good morning, Oshkosh.

July brings exciting events to Oshkosh, including a Fourth of July parade Saturday at 9 a.m. from North Main Street to Menominee Park, a free volleyball tournament and Lifest festival July 9-12, AirVenture July 20-26, and the 171st Winnebago County Fair starting July 29 & ending Aug. 2.

Oshkosh Public Library said a Facebook page for a robotics event is fake as it collects personal details and may try to sell subscriptions.

Officials reported the page to Facebook and advise using the official events list (questions can be directed to 920-236-5203).

The University of Wisconsin-Oshkosh opened The India Corner on June 18 at Dorian Boyland Hall.

The library installation features 75 books on Indian culture donated by the Indian Consulate in Chicago and aims to boost global learning and cultural understanding among students and community members.

City of Oshkosh began work on upgrading the wastewater treatment plant on North Campbell Road using new tertiary filtration to lower phosphorus discharge and installing UV disinfection to reduce algae in Lake Winnebago.
