The Weekend of Lawrence Welk
It was a weekend steeped in bubbles, brass, and North Dakota pride. Lawrence Welk—once dismissed by some as kitsch—got his due in Bismarck with a packed documentary premiere, the unveiling of a bronze statue, and a full-on recreation of his TV show that left audiences misty-eyed and smiling. With a sweeping new biography on the way and hundreds gathering to celebrate his legacy, the Welk Homestead is no longer just a stop on the prairie—it’s a testament to a homegrown icon’s place in American cultural history. Tom Isern with Prairie Public News has the full story.
