At 6pm, the holiday lights parade will pass by the library. Look for the Friends of the Library walking in the parade!
After the parade, we will also be holding our annual children’s book giveaway. One new or gently used book will be given to each child until supplies are gone.

The Chamber of Commerce will be serving cookies and hot cocoa outside the library after the parade as well, and just across the street there will be a tree lighting ceremony and caroling.

Pays $7.25 an hour.” Will’s new job at the Boise Hobby Lobby doesn’t provide much in terms of security, but what does these days? Union busting, a busted microwave, and a constantly droning company TV that sometimes cuts to gruesome medical footage (quick warning to our audience!) are the least of his worries. Will was called to this Hobby Lobby for a reason, one that will throw a wrench into the ceaseless grind of his coworkers’ lives. But are his intentions for good or is he here because he’s trying to outrun some darkness? Rebel Alliance Theatre brings another conversation provoking play to their audience at an affordable price.

Experience William Elliott Whitmore at Thrasher Opera House
PRESS RELEASE
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE | CONTACT: Jason Mansmith 920.294.4279 |
Experience William Elliott Whitmore at Thrasher Opera House
Green Lake, Wis. (October 07, 2024) – William Elliott Whitmore will perform a 506 Session at Thrasher Opera House in Green Lake, Wisconsin, on Saturday, November 16, at 7:30 p.m. 506 Sessions feature cocktail style seating, with only 80 tickets available.
Born and raised on a small farm in Lee County Iowa, a love of the land has always been an important part of William Elliott Whitmore’s life. An appreciation for nature and its cycles being taught from an early age. That awareness of birth and death is a constant theme in the songwriting, through a lens of hopefulness and acceptance. These things unify us as people, a theme that is often explored in the music. With a banjo, guitar and kick drum, Whitmore seeks to convey these ideas. For over twenty years he has traveled the world, performing everywhere from Rome, Italy to Rome, Georgia. He’s played basements, backyards, festival stages, and Carnegie Hall, and has no plans to stop anytime soon. “Life is hard, nasty, and unforgiving at times”, Whitmore says, “but it’s beautiful too, and music can be a reminder of what we all have in common, a desire to keep putting one foot in front of the other.”
William Elliott Whitmore’s performance is sponsored by Heidel House, Goose Blind, and Sturgeon Spirits. 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.
Tickets for William Elliott Whitmore’s performance on November 16 at 7:30 p.m. are $35 and available at www.thrasheroperahouse.com or by calling 920.294.4279
