History at High Noon: Lawrence Welk - Homegrown Media Megastar

Welk’s path to stardom started in our backyard, in a blizzard that changed this North Dakota farm boy’s future in unimaginable ways. We will follow his path from North Dakota to Yankton and on through Sioux City. Join Russ Gifford and learn how Welk, while other bandleaders came and went, remained master of his future and ruled his region – and his timeslot – from the 1950s to the 1980s!

This popular lunchtime photo-based program series is held on the third Thursday of each month at 12:05 p.m. at the Sioux City Public Museum. Attendees are welcome to bring their own lunches to enjoy during these free presentations.
