The stars, cast and crew of the recently released Sod and Stubble motion picture will appear on Saturday, March 29 at 7 pm at the Downs Memorial Auditorium for a question and answer and meet and greet.

Sod and Stubble tells the story of the Ise family who homesteaded in Osborne County, Kansas in the 1870s and battled through the many challenges of homesteading on the Kansas plains.
