O.P.E.R.A., Inc. has received nearly $1,500 in donations to the matching campaign to celebrate long-time Opera House advocate Jeanette Robb-Ruenz on her 80th birthday.

Native American Keith Bear will perform June 27 at 6:30 p.m. at South Park for Ellendale Area Arts Council’s “ Music in the Park."

The year-end matching campaign to help fund renovation of the Ellendale Opera House was a huge success.

Contributions totaling nearly $10,000 were made to the capital campaign between November 15 and December 31.
