We are excited to announce our 2022 Packer Backer Campaign! Our goal is to provide nutritious food on the weekends to all children in need throughout Waushara County during the entire 2022/2023 school year! Items include things like applesauce, granola bars, vegetables, pasta, tuna, chicken, peanut butter and sometimes a special treat.
Every week dedicated volunteers work to prepare each child their own curated bag of goodies. In complete confidentiality, we partner with the schools to provide special bags for students that have food allergies or food sensitivities. These bags are then specifically coded so school staff will know which bags contain the special items safe for those children. Our team of volunteers are not aware which students are in the program. We are only told how many bags each school needs and how many specialty bags will be required. Once we deliver the meals to the schools, they discreetly place the food in the children’s backpacks when no children are present.
We simply can’t do what we do without you. Your support will make a real and lasting impact in the lives of those who might otherwise go hungry through no fault of their own.
Recently, a story was shared about a little girl (we will call her April) who was so excited about the food she received in her backpack she immediately opened it. As luck would have it, her school mate (we will call him August) saw this and went home and complained to his mom that he didn’t get anything special in his backpack. His mom explained how the Backpack Nutrition Program works and who benefits from it. August then asked his mom, “Can I put a sucker in April’s Backpack? I think she would really like it and I have a lot”. You see, April struggles to feed herself on the weekends because both her mom and dad work and there is very little food in the house. The easy to prepare foods and added nutrition have been a saving grace for her. With your help, and August’s help, we’ll be able to keep children like April from going hungry this coming school year.
Every day, your support makes stories like this possible. Thanks to you, we were able to feed close to 200 children last year! That means we provided over 35,000 items in kids backpacks!
Today we are launching our 2022 Packer Backer Campaign. Last year the expense of feeding that many children in the program was over $26,000! With the cost of food going up, our goal is now $30,000 to fund the Backpack Nutrition Program for an entire year! If we raise that amount, we’ll be able to make a meaningful difference for every child in the program.
We need your help to make that happen. Simply check the level of impact on the enclosed slip you would like to make and send in your donation.
Your contribution will make a real and lasting difference. On behalf of the children who will be served by your generosity, thank you!
The Ripon Area Community Theatre will set the Grimm Brothers’ story straight in a comedy musical retelling of Cinderella from the point of view of the stepsister, with their summer musical production of “Stepsisters,” August 12th and 13th at 7pm and August 14th at 2pm, in the Ripon High School Auditorium.
Written by Flip Kobler and Cindy Marcus, with music by Dennis Poore, “Stepsisters” sees sisters Drew and Bitzy! (“exclamation point”) in jail after their stepsister, Ella, was reunited with her prince to embark on her life happily ever after. Drew and Bitzy! insist the Grimm brothers got it all wrong and they’re neither wicked, ugly or the bad guys at all, but rather the heroes; and tell all about what really happened.
Featuring a talented cast of 27 children and adults, “Stepsisters” combines a familiar fairytale with humor and charming musical numbers. “Stepsisters” is appropriate for all ages. Tickets are $10 per person, 12 years old and under are free. Tickets can be purchased in advance at the courtesy counter at Ripon’s Webster’s Marketplace, as well as at the door before each performance. A 50/50 raffle and bake sale will take place during each performance’s intermission, with proceeds benefiting the community theatre.
The Ripon Area Community Theatre is a sponsored program of the Ripon Noon Kiwanis Club. In addition to the 50/50 raffle, the Ripon Noon Kiwanis are holding an advanced sale raffle to benefit the community theatre. Advance sale raffle tickets are $10 each and will be drawn August 14th at 4:15pm in the high school auditorium, 850 Tiger Dr., following the last performance. 1st prize for the advance sale raffle will be $500; 2nd prize $250; 3rd $100; and 4th prize $50. Winners do not need to be present at the drawing to win.
The concerts take place from 7:00 to 10:00 pm at The Village Green located at the corner of Watson and Seward Street (101 W. Seward Street). Concerts typically occur on Friday evenings, June through August, but occasionally bonus concerts are added or events rescheduled due to weather issues.

Janiva Magness to Play Green Lake’s Thrasher Opera House
Green Lake, Wis. (July 25, 2022) – Grammy-nominated blues, soul, and Americana singer Janiva Magness will play the historic Thrasher Opera House on Saturday, August 13 at 7:30 p.m. Magness made a forceful return with the release of Hard to Kill on June 24, which debuted at number six on the Billboard Blues Chart. The Los Angeles-based musician’s latest release is her first new collection in three years on her label Fathead Records.
The seven-time Blues Music Awards recipient (and the 2009 B.B. King Entertainer of the Year, the Blues Foundation’s highest honor) and 2016 Grammy Award nominee will simultaneously release the Fathead audiobook edition of Weeds Like Us, her frank, profoundly moving 2019 memoir. Los Angeles composer and musician Matt Cartsonis produced.
Since the early ’90s, Magness has built an impressive career in American roots music, brick by hard-earned brick. She has traveled millions of miles, sung on thousands of club and festival stages, and made numerous recordings that have earned accolades and awards. Today, her albums rise to the top of Billboard’s roots music charts and the apex of the Americana and blues radio charts.
The 2022 Summer/Fall Season at Thrasher Opera House is sponsored by Better Homes and Garden Real Estate Special Properties. Steve’s Quality Painting sponsors the Janiva Magness show. This event is supported in part by a grant from the Oshkosh Area Community Foundation and the Wisconsin Arts Board with funds from the State of Wisconsin and the National Endowment for the Arts.

Today we are launching our 2022 Packer Backer Campaign. Last year the expense of feeding that many children in the program was over $26,000! With the cost of food going up, our goal is now $30,000 to fund the Backpack Nutrition Program for an entire year! If we raise that amount, we’ll be able to make a meaningful difference for every child in the program.
We need your help to make that happen. Simply check the level of impact on the enclosed slip you would like to make and send in your donation.
Your contribution will make a real and lasting difference. On behalf of the children who will be served by your generosity, thank you!
We are excited to announce our 2022 Packer Backer Campaign! Our goal is to provide nutritious food on the weekends to all children in need throughout Waushara County during the entire 2022/2023 school year! Items include things like applesauce, granola bars, vegetables, pasta, tuna, chicken, peanut butter and sometimes a special treat.
Every week dedicated volunteers work to prepare each child their own curated bag of goodies. In complete confidentiality, we partner with the schools to provide special bags for students that have food allergies or food sensitivities. These bags are then specifically coded so school staff will know which bags contain the special items safe for those children. Our team of volunteers are not aware which students are in the program. We are only told how many bags each school needs and how many specialty bags will be required. Once we deliver the meals to the schools, they discreetly place the food in the children’s backpacks when no children are present.
We simply can’t do what we do without you. Your support will make a real and lasting impact in the lives of those who might otherwise go hungry through no fault of their own.
Recently, a story was shared about a little girl (we will call her April) who was so excited about the food she received in her backpack she immediately opened it. As luck would have it, her school mate (we will call him August) saw this and went home and complained to his mom that he didn’t get anything special in his backpack. His mom explained how the Backpack Nutrition Program works and who benefits from it. August then asked his mom, “Can I put a sucker in April’s Backpack? I think she would really like it and I have a lot”. You see, April struggles to feed herself on the weekends because both her mom and dad work and there is very little food in the house. The easy to prepare foods and added nutrition have been a saving grace for her. With your help, and August’s help, we’ll be able to keep children like April from going hungry this coming school year.

Former Riponite Steve Gillespie to Perform at Thrasher Opera House
Green Lake, Wis. (August 08, 2022) – Ripon Wisconsin native and comedian Steve Gillespie will perform at the historic Thrasher Opera House on Saturday, August 20 at 7:30 p.m. A decade into his standup career, Steve Gillespie moved from Minneapolis to LA, made an appearance on Conan, and released his critically acclaimed second album, Alive on State, which reached #1 on the iTunes charts. Before that, this gentleman degenerate spent most of his life traveling the country, regaling audiences with his delightful self-destruction.
Gillespie’s act is a slaphappy balance of aggression and absurdity, coupled with a delightfully pushy persona and coarse yet effective word choice. His hilarious self– flagellation and blistering social commentary have also earned him spots on Fox’s Laughs, the Bridgetown Comedy Festival, and the Boston Comedy Festival. He was a finalist in CMT’s Next Big Comic, a runner-up for Best of the Midwest at Gilda’s Laughfest, and his debut album Stever Fever from Rooftop Comedy was named a top– 10 comedy album of the year by ComedyReviews.com.
Gillespie has also had the pleasure of sharing the biggest stages with some of the best comics in the country, including opening appearances for Dave Attell, Jim Breuer, Tom Segura, Kyle Kinnane, Tom Green, Harland Williams, Doug Benson, Emo Phillips, and Gilbert Gottfried.
Steve will be joined by Ryan Kahl and Senthil Rajasekharan. Ryan Kahl is a stand-up comedian based out of Minneapolis. He is fun-loving, well-meaning, and very nice. Ryan started performing when he was 18 and has since opened for Sean Patton, and some of the best comics in the Midwest. He is a co-founder and co-producer of Clear Water Comedy, a comedy collective in his hometown of Eau Claire, WI. He was also selected as a 2016 Best Of performer at the 10,000 Laughs Comedy Festival in Minneapolis, MN. Senthil Rajasekharan is a standup comedian who started doing comedy in Minneapolis/St. Paul in 2010. Senthil performs at clubs, bars, and other top venues across the Midwest including Goonie’s Comedy Club, Sisyphus Brewing, New Hope Cinema Grill, and many more. He also performs at popular comedy festivals and was recently a featured performer at the 1st Fargo Comedy Festival and The Great Spirit Comedy Festival. He has already been fortunate to open for nationally touring headliners such as Tim Harmston (Letterman), and Steve Gillespie (Conan). Senthil also works as a software engineer by day but no, he won’t fix your computer.
The 2022 Summer/Fall Season at Thrasher Opera House is sponsored by Better Homes and Garden Real Estate Special Properties. This event is supported in part by a grant from the Oshkosh Area Community Foundation and the Wisconsin Arts Board with funds from the State of Wisconsin and the National Endowment for the Arts.
