Lt. Col. Konop hoisted upon the shoulders of Czech villagers.

A Journey of Discovery, Liberation and Legacy.

Patrick Dewane presents a multimedia one-man show about Lt. Col. Matt Konop—Dewane's grandfather. Hear the incredible story of how in May 1945, Konop's advance force liberated the Czech villages where his grandparents had lived, and how word quickly spread throughout the area that they had been liberated by "one of their own."

$10 admission.

Seating is limited. Get tickets online or call 920.793.2490.

The performance is held in the Grand Ballroom on the second floor, which is fully accessible with a stairlift. The parking lot entrance is barrier-free.
