Wegner Grotto to host ‘Art Outdoors’

Contributed by the Monroe County Local History Room

The Wegner Grotto County Park will host “Art Outdoors” on Saturday, Aug. 27. 

This family-friendly event includes exploring one of Wisconsin’s fascinating art environments, the Wegner Grotto, and creating art in the outdoors.

Three art activities will be available to visitors: clay sculpting, mosaic making, and painting with pastels (new this year).  Participants may come and go from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.  

All skill and age levels are encouraged to attend. There is no fee for this event, but a $1 per person donation is greatly appreciated to defray programming costs.  

The Wegner Grotto County Park is located at 7788 Daylight Road, Sparta, Wisconsin. It’s 15 minutes north of Sparta off Highway 27, west on Highway 71, south of Cataract.
