Hello POPS enthusiasts!

As the Praha Outdoor Performance Stage (POPS) group passes six months in its three-year quest to raise $1 million to build an outdoor performance venue, one should be optimistic. Why?

•    We’ve raised $412,000 in three-year pledges (our goal for 2023 is $500,000; it had been $250,000).
•    We’ve made 20+ presentations to businesses, individuals, and even one local church explaining, the VAST majority of which have been overwhelmingly supportive.
•    We’re having a FREE gala event for the public Oct. 28 featuring two bands (and lots of food/drink and other prizes available) at the Park Ballroom to celebrate year one of our effort.
•   We are going to give away a vehicle valued at $20,000 (donated by Palmer and Sue Welcome). Your $20 ticket or three tickets for $50 will support the POPS building effort.

Hello, POPS enthusiasts! The great comedian Robin Williams once said: “Spring is nature’s way of saying, ‘Let’s Party!’”

So, I suggest “Let’s Party” because “It’s Time!”

As spring approaches in just a few weeks (after a long and nasty winter), I thought it time to bring all of you involved in some way or another in the Praha Outdoor Performance Stage (POPS) project an update. You ALL serve a great role in our historic project to get this outdoor performance facility built in New Prague.

The new year always brings optimism to me. Well, some would say I’m always optimistic. Heck, I’m 71 and mostly retired. Who wouldn’t be optimistic?! I look at it this way:

“Let’s get excited about the future. I honestly don’t think the past will care!”

The Praha Outdoor Performance Stage (POPS) Leadership Team AND residents of New Prague should be excited about 2023.

Our plan is for this to be a monthly newsletter used to keep the public up to date on what’s going on with our effort to raise $1 million to build an outdoor performance facility in New Prague.

​This first issue talks about our plans and our committee structure.  it gives a brief description of each of the sub-committees and their current status.  Our financial goals and the three potential sites that have been identified are also discussed.
