Alma Center
Liner notes
A heartfelt americana song about Alma Center, Wisconsin, celebrating its deep roots as the Strawberry Capital of Wisconsin. The lyrics reflect on the warm summer days at the annual Strawberry Fest and the quiet, reflective beauty of Turtle Pond Park. It honors the resilient spirit of the 1856 settlers and the enduring community gathered around the historic Village Hall at Main and Church Streets.
