Scenes from Appleton, Wisconsin: Photographs by Jeff Lindsay

Two of the many lion sculpures around the Fox Valley, celebrating the coming of the Broadway musical, The Lion King, to Appleton's Performing Arts Center in 2007. For a small town in the Midwest to score a booking of this much sought-after show is a trubute to Appleton's reputation for the arts and to the success of our beautiful Performing Arts Center.

Appleton Mystery Photo Contests The second Appleton Mystery Photo Contest ended July 15, 2005 with a winner: Robert Buettner, a firefighter in the Grand Chute Fire Department who has a Web page on War Memorials of Wisconsin. Robert had a perfect score in identifying my mystery photos, winning $50. He is shown here in the center, with his peers, Robert Olson (left) and Robert Schipper (right). (Click to enlarge.) His photo is also on the Mystery Photos page. The first Mystery Photo Contest was won by Wendy and Ron Osero. Will there be a another contest? Perhaps. Check the Appleton blog for details.
