Friends and Neighbors!
We are so lucky to be
living in Minnesota, land of the Legacy Programs, funded in part or whole with
money from the vote of the people of Minnesota November 4, 2008. This means
that we can experience marvelous arts and cultural events for free.
The next Legacy Program is
“Music of the Mississippi” with the
Everett Smithson Band. As always, it is free. I won’t be able to attend since
the venue is the Pine River Depot,
but those of you who do attend, please come into our library and tell me all
about it. The date of this program is Monday,
October 16th at 6:00 PM. It is, of course, open to everyone
(except me). Band members are Phil Schmid on guitar, Jeremy Johnson on drums,
the ubiquitous Bill Black on standup bass, and Everett and Kathy Smithson. If
the concert isn’t enough, hang around afterwards. There will be a free, all
ages, harmonica lesson given by Everett Smithson and sponsored by the Minnesota
Blues Society. It’s pretty doubtful I could learn to play the harmonica, but
perhaps you could!
For a complete schedule of
Legacy funded events at Kitchigami Libraries, visit the Kitchigami Regional
Library website: www.krls.org and click on
Legacy Events.
Here’s hoping you are
enjoying your fall.
Sincerely,
Browser, the library cat.
