Hello everyone,
This Saturday, the 28th of April, Lindsborg area artists are hosting the 11th annual Artists Studio Open House. Many area studios will be open to the public from 11am until 7pm and everyone is invited to drop in and see the artists at work. One of the special things about the Artists Studio Open House is the wide variety of art on display. Everything from painting, photography, sculpture and weaving to woodworking, carving and jewelry design, plus more!
And then, at 8pm, the Heart of America Big Band will perform in the gymnasium at Soderstrom Elementary. Admission to the Artists Studio Open House is free, and a freewill donation is appreciated at the Big Band concert.
While you’re in town for the Artists Studio Open House, be sure to drop by the Lindsborg Library, where the Friends of the Lindsborg Library will be holding their annual book sale from 10am until 6pm. This is a great opportunity to pick up some new reading material and help a great cause at the same time.
Remember, the Lindsborg area Artists Studio Open house is this Saturday, from 11am until 7pm. A full list of participating studios may be obtained from many downtown Lindsborg merchants.
And, it’s just one week until the annual Millfest Celebration! The past comes to life Saturday and Sunday, May 5th and 6th, at the Old Mill Museum in Lindsborg with Millfest 2007. This unique event celebrates the Kansas heritage with tours of the 1898 Smoky Valley Flour mill, demonstrations of traditional arts, great food and lively musical entertainment.
The flour mill only operates once a year, so the public is encouraged to take this opportunity to see the mill in action. Mill tours are limited to those age 13 and above, due to safety reasons.
This year Millfest is featuring its largest musical lineup ever, including bluegrass, country, gospel and more.
Tickets for Millfest are 2$ for adults and 1$ for children over age 6.
Till next week, this is Mike Rodriquez with the Lindsborg Update.
