OSHKOSH, WI (WTAQ-WLUK) The Grand Oshkosh announced an upgrade coming to the 137-year-old theatre.
In the coming months, The Grand will receive a makeover of its marquee, restoration of a blade sign which has not appeared on the building since the 1920s, and upgrade of its message center to a state-of-the-art electronic sign.
The project is funded through the first of several “branding licenses,” and will be known as the Festival Foods Marquee.
