Story supports local original singer songwriters!! Live music is performed Saturdays from 2-5pm 

The Independence Day Concert and Fireworks Show evolved to include a fundraising dinner in support for the Brown County Community Foundation!

Local suppliers, farmers, and gardeners all chipped in to provide the ingredients.  When placed in the hands of our talented culinary team this fundraising dinner became possible!  

$3,972 was raised from the dinner sales, cash donations, and gift certificate sales.  This amount qualified for a double match from the Lilly Foundation which brought the total fundraising effort to $11,916.   

Special thanks to Lilly, local purveyors, and especially the Brown County Community Foundation for being the tether for so many incredible groups in the community. 

During prohibition, moonshine was bootlegged out of Story such that Sheriff Clarence Moore captured the notorious still on site.  As the story goes, half of the 'evidence' went missing but Story still celebrates the fermentation process.
