Praha Outdoor Performance Stage

One of our two outdoor signs is now completed and placed on the east wall of the Pioneer Saloon showing the progress of our efforts to raise $1 million by the end of 2025. As the money comes in through donations and grants, the “temperature” will rise until we meet our goal.

Thanks to POPS Committee members Eddie Shimota, Julie Schmitz, and Karen Steinhoff for their help with this project.
