Your donations make this high-profile venue possible for both emerging and well-known artists.
Freeland Film Festival: We are so honored that Town Square will be the headquarters for this huge, new, annual Green Lake event, showcasing films from around the world and attracting unprecedented attention to our little community.

Bunny Bingo: Hop on over and join the fun on Saturday, March 31 from 6:30 to 8:00 pm. A great way to celebrate Easter with the family.
Donors can bring their new or gently used gowns to the front desk at Town Square in exchange for a tax receipt.
Hangers Resale Therapy: Prom Season is coming up fast, and those dresses can get Expensive! If you have a gently dress that is "Prom-able," bring it on over. We'll be offering these lovely frocks for low, low prices to the young ladies of the area whose families simply can't spend the big bucks on a one-night outfit. What a great feeling to help a young woman feel beautiful on this special evening. Your support make this great little shop possible.

Mill Pond Terrace: You really came forward to create this ambitious project. Wowie! After approval early this year of a professionally-created plan, and a series of meetings with a wide variety of Green Lake area contractors, Mill Pond Terrace is slated to break ground in May (weather permitting). This is A MAJOR downtown Green Lake physical improvement, providing space for entrepreneurs, food trucks, events and public gatherings, transforming the underused and aging parking lots to the north of Town Square into a valuable community asset.
Entrepreneurship: This is the big one, folks. People from all over the area, including Fond du Lac, Oshkosh and the Fox Valley are signing up for Green Lake Renewal's first annual Entrepreneur of the Year Awards, featuring Appirio co-founder Chris Barbin as keynote speaker.
