Fundraiser Scheduled to Save the Vurpillat in Winamac
A fundraiser is scheduled for this weekend to help save the historic Vurpillat Opera House in downtown Winamac. Artist Local 3033 is hosting an art show Saturday from 3 to 6 p.m. ET followed by a concert from 6 to 11 p.m. with a $2 admission. All proceeds go toward the opera house restoration.
Bob B. Welder, the man heading up the fundraiser, said he has no idea what to expect when it comes to the art show. There is no charge for artists to show case their items, but he said they would like to see at least a one percent donation from any sales. There is no limit to how big the pieces can be, and Welder said there’s absolutely no telling what kind of art these artists will showcase.
