Concert Feb. 19 at the Opera House to support the Co-op!
Join us for a special concert at the Stoughton Opera House at 3 p.m., Sunday, February 19 to benefit the Yahara River Grocery Cooperative. Enjoy an afternoon of traditional, folk, classic western, and bluegrass gospel music by Holy Water and Whiskey for the whole family. Reserved seat tickets are $12 and are available at the Opera House or online.
Holy Water and Whiskey's beautifully rendered bluegrass gospel tunes and other tunes with spiritual themes sometimes earn them invitations to perform at church events, 
but they are just as much at home playing those and their other tunes at pubs, festivals, parties, fund raisers and other concert settings. Audiences can expect a fun, interactive afternoon, as the band genuinely believes that music and laughter are universally healing.
To learn more about the award-winning band from New Mexico and hear some of their music, visit their web site.
Opening the concert are KG & The Ranger, award-winning cowboy yodelers. Their smooth harmony singing will bring back memories of the Sons Of The Pioneers, Roy Rogers, Gene Autry and other cowboy stars of the silver screen. They yodel in harmony! They keep the audience entranced with interesting bits of history about the cowboy songs they sing. And Ranger Rick twirls his lariat in a fascinating display of trick rope-spinning. Western entertainment for all ages!

Thank you for your generosity to our area food pantries
This week the Co-op delivered almost 300 pounds of food and much needed money to the two food pantries here in Stoughton. This food and fundraising drive began with this year's Dickens of a Run & Walk event in early December.
