Otis & the Alligators
{SOLD OUT}
October 24th | Doors open at 3:30 pm
This is more than a concert, it's an immersive experience. Otis & The Alligators will perform inside the Rhythms of the River exhibit in the historic Old Plover Methodist Church at Heritage Park, surrounded by the stories, photographs, and artifacts that celebrate Portage County's rich musical heritage. With only 100 guests in attendance, this promises to be one of the most intimate performances the band has played in years.
Blacksmith Workshop
Starting November 7th
Morning session, Afternoon session
Step into the forge and experience the timeless art of blacksmithing in this hands-on, three-part workshop series. Designed for beginners and enthusiasts alike, the program introduces participants to the seven fundamental techniques of the trade—drawing out, upsetting, cutting/slitting, bending, twisting, punching, and forge welding—through practical, take-home projects. Students will explore both the historical and modern sides of blacksmithing, working with our historic coal forge as well as experimenting with a propane forge.
