Five years have passed since an explosion on Main Street changed Sun Prairie’s downtown forever, but certainly, it has not been forgotten.

The Sun Prairie Media Center (SPMC) has announced the release of “Sun Prairie Stronger”, an hour-long documentary honoring the fifth anniversary incident on July 10, 2018.
