From Volume One:
Chuck Stokke was mayor of Menomonie from 1986 to 1998, and has been active with groups like the Chamber of Commerce and Momentum 21. Early in his tenure he was a major proponent of becoming part of the state Main Street program and rejuvenating their downtown. So much so that, when the state program turned them away, downtown merchants, property owners, and community leaders like Stokke, Jerry Talen, Mary Solberg, and Liz Lammer helped form a self-initiated Main Street – one that is still active today.
