One of the most amazing aspects of this town is its environment. There is always a positive atmosphere and a sense of security no matter where you are. The town also offers a variety of locally owned businesses all within a reasonable distance. Overall it is a friendly, diverse, and safe environment for everyone!
Very small town, everybody kind of knows everyone. Very good education K-12 and there are always high community involvement opportunities. People are generally respectful, and there are lots to do in the downtown area. Convenient stores like Walmart are close by, and it's not far from Machesney Park which holds plenty of places to shop and eat.
Rockton is a small and traditional town on the border of Wisconsin and Illinois. Everyone within the town knows each other by some sort of link and that makes it feel more like a community and less like a big city. Rockton has provided me with some amazing opportunities. I feel that living in this town I have been able to become more involved and valued for my involvement. The small town's local ice cream shop, The Dairyhaus, where I work, has especially strengthened my appreciation for the town. It has made me closer with the members of the society and made me feel as if I am making a difference with each scoop of ice cream I scoop. Within this small town, I also believe that there is more support for my school, Hononegah Community High School. This is extremely important because I feel as if with community support I can do better in school and receive a proper education.
