Sarah Spang & Steve Leaman, Pop-Up Fond du Lac

Steve and Sarah talked about their Pop up Crepe event. A group of eight put together this event to promote Fond du Lac. It is an offshoot of Envision and a talk from Greg of Fargo ND. The Pop up Crepe Café, the inaugural event of the newly formed Pop up Fond du Lac, recently operated at the former Pockets Bar in downtown Fond du Lac. The group more than doubled their excepted business over the course of the two days, selling approximately 2,000 crepes. Funds made from the Crepe Café will be held to assist in funding future pop up events. Pop Up Fond du Lac hopes to ignite a conversation on how unique events can provide unlimited possibilities for the community.  Anyone that is interested in finding out more about future events is encouraged to follow Pop Up Fond du Lac on Facebook. The group has the support of Envision Fond du Lac as this falls under their plan’s first year focus of implementing projects such as pop up events.
