fair and discover some local artists, explore the Dodge County Antique Power Club Show in August, tour a local museum and learn about your area’s history – there’s incredible tales of ordinary people doing extraordinary things!

What do you love about the Greater Fond du Lac Area today and what is your hope for its future in the years to come? I hope it never loses its’ small town charm. The Greater Fond du Lac area is unique in its’ close proximity to major cities but holds the dichotomy of very rural spaces. There is immense beauty in both of those spaces, but real life happens “off the highway”. Take the time to visit rural downtowns – let’s keep our small towns thriving for years to come!
