MV Wells: Great Hall Concert Series

📍 Thelma Sadoff Center for the Arts

TICKETS AVAILABLE HERE: https://ci.ovationtix.com/36819/production/1281892 A review of Chicago-based (but Fond du Lac native!) MV Wells' newest album, Le Dauphin, describes Wells as always having a "knack for hooks" and "His [vocals] carry a dry, knowing tone, equal parts charm and side-eye, pulling from the tradition of pub rock lifers like Nick Lowe and Wreckless Eric while staying rooted in the Midwest scenes that shaped him." Date: Thursday, September 17, 2026 Concert Time: 7:30 PM Bar Opens: 6:30 PM Location: Great Hall

The Little Farmer Is Back for Another Season!

The Little Farmer opened for the season on August 19, giving families another reason to enjoy a day in the countryside. From caramel apples and fresh bakery treats to apple picking and visiting the farm animals, it’s a local tradition that means fall is right around the corner.
