Friends of the Grand Opera House in Oshkosh are encouraging other Fox Valley residents to "Stand With the Grand" in support of preserving and upgrading the performance venue.

Oshkosh Common Council members plan to vote Tuesday on repairs to the Grand Opera House.

Everyone is welcome to gather in the Oshkosh City Hall parking lot at 4:30 p.m. Tuesday and greet the council members before the council's 5:15 p.m. workshop and 6 p.m. meeting.

Oshkosh City Hall is located at 215 Church Ave., Oshkosh.

People also are asked to stay during the council meeting, if possible, to talk about the value of the Grand Opera House. There will be time to share a favorite memory about the Grand, such as attending a performance or performing in a show there.
