Iola-Scandinavia’s Ron Scott speaking at VETx on May 11

Ron Scott

By Mission: Possible

Ron Scott will be sharing his adventures as an entrepreneur, film producer, and Veteran at the VETx Forward stage on Saturday, May 11, from 2-3 p.m. speaking about “Back on Track: Rebuilding the Waupaca Train Depot” film.

I met Ron Scott, master storyteller and Emmy-Award winning producer, during an Innovator Accelerator for Veterans experience at the Fox Valley Technical College over five years ago. His heart was set on producing a film about the Waupaca Train Depot – once abandoned, overlooked, and nearly lost to history. Ron was passionate about capturing Mike Kirk’s unwavering dedication to restoring the depot to its original glory.

Fast-forward years later and the film premiere takes place on Saturday, May 18, at the Gerold Opera House in Weyauwega, Wisconsin, at 7:30 p.m.
