Moose spots author - The Brillion News
Ed Byrne of The Brillion News took this photo from a book signing event that was published on page 13 of the April 8, 2021 edition of The Brillon News.
“When Reedsville native and author Corey Geiger and his wife Krista Knigge showed up at Braun's Deer Run to autograph copies of Geiger's book, they were quickly spotted by a resident moose, which read 'On a Wisconsin Family Farm' over their shoulders.
"The book, Geiger's first, is a rollicking story about rural Reedsville where Geiger got his start in life. He is editor of Hoard's Dairyman, the leading publication serving the dairy industry. Geiger and Knigge are holding book signing events throughout the area, telling stories, and picking up some, too."
