Some traditions never melt away!

Since opening its doors in 1974, Adrian's Frozen Custard has been serving award-winning frozen custard and creating memories for generations of families in Burlington and beyond. For more than 50 years, it's been a beloved gathering place and a true part of the fabric of our community.

For so many, Adrian's has been woven into so many chapters of life. Through toddler and preschool years, through a pandemic, and now with teens and adult children, we've made countless memories under that iconic sign. Whether it was a chilly spring evening, a rainy summer day, or one of those blazing hot Wisconsin afternoons, a stop at Adrian's was always worth it.

From celebrating milestones to enjoying simple family moments (and plenty of pup-approved visits, too!), Adrian's has been a constant part of our story. There's something special about standing in line, checking out the flavor of the day, and sharing a sweet treat with the people you love.

Adrian's isn't just a frozen custard stand—it's a Wisconsin staple, a Burlington tradition, and a place where memories are made one scoop at a time.

The next time you're in Burlington, be sure to stop by, grab a treat, and make a few sweet memories of your own!

Major student loan changes are set to take effect July 1, bringing updates to borrowing limits, repayment options, and federal aid eligibility.
New rules will limit how much some students and parents can borrow. Parent PLUS loans will be capped at $20,000 per year and $65,000 total per student, while new caps will also apply to graduate and professional degree borrowing.
Repayment options are also changing. New federal loan borrowers will have fewer choices, with options narrowing to a tiered standard repayment structure or a new income-driven option called the Repayment Assistance Program.
Borrowers currently enrolled in SAVE may also need to choose a new repayment option, with loan servicers expected to send notices about next steps.
Pell Grant rules are changing as well, including expanded eligibility for some short-term workforce training programs.
For borrowers and students, the takeaway is simple: watch for communications from loan servicers, confirm contact information is current, and review available options before deadlines arrive.
