Matt Spransy: Magic Mansion
On a Sunday evening, starting at the front porch of Matt's Magic Mansion, you can watch a concert or take a walk past the house of an immigrant named Ramon and hear about his journey. Below are the stories of Matt and Ramon. Also, read about the other Faces of Lake Country at https://thefacesoflakecountry.com/.
Matt Spransy used to have small jam sessions on the porch of his Victorian mansion in the town of Oconomowoc. Years later, those gatherings have turned into full-out concerts that have attracted traveling musicians and hundreds of audience members for each show.
Ramon: An Immigrant's Journey
A homeless teen on the streets of Mexico City…
A determined immigrant finding his way in a new culture…
A successful business owner in downtown Chicago…
A valued member of his adopted Midwestern community…
Ramon overcomes childhood violence and deprivation to show that with grit and tenacity–and some good luck and love–we can rise above our circumstances and live the American Dream.
