The Rocket in front of Neenah High School was formerly located at the U.S. Cavalry Museum at Fort Riley, Kan. Known as "Honest John," it was donated to the school by the Center for Military History in Washington, D.C. in the fall of 1988. The project was an effort of the student congress to gain a mascot for the school. The class of 1933, parents of the class of 1988 and Neenah dentist Robert Hering donated money for the project. Installation and painting was provided by several local businesses, costing the school nothing.

A supernatural thriller is wrapping up filming in the Fox Valley. Not much is being said about 'The Wraith', but it involves a family living in Neenah.
 
The movie is directed by Neenah native Michael Sajbel and most of the crew hails from northeast Wisconsin.
 
It is expected to be complete next year and producers plan a premiere at an area theater.
 
One of the actors in the movie is a familiar face to us on TV, and to those folks who knew her growing up in Neenah.
