The Roller Mill String Band will entertain at the St. Agnes Harvest Festival
Saturday, October 4. This special celebration of fall will take place at
the St. Agnes Historic Site located at 1386 Fond du Lac Street in West Bend.
The Roller Mill String Band is known for their lively interpretation of
bluegrass and traditional American music. Comprised of some of the most
powerful "pickers" from several bluegrass bands in Southeastern Wisconsin,
The Roller Mills String Band features hammered dulcimer, guitar, base, and
mandolin. Other event entertainment includes the Swingin' Singles Squares
who will present traditional square dancing, and historical reenactment of
life in 1850's Washington County.
Hungry visitors will be sure to enjoy the Knights of Columbus Brat fry, and
the amazing assortment of bakery donated by the Sisters of St. Agnes located
in Fond du Lac.
The St. Agnes Harvest Festival fundraiser is the only time that this
historic complex will be open to the public in 2008. The event will be held
rain or shine from 11:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Admission is free, and includes
entrance to the site as well as tours of the convent and school, rectory,
and barn. St. Agnes Historic Convent and School Complex is owned and
operated by the Washington County Historical Society.
