Hello everyone,

If you’d like to be a part of this wonderful tradition, rehearsals for this year’s performance begin on Tuesday, January 30th, at 7pm in Presser Hall. The rehearsal will be followed by a reception.

And speaking of the Messiah, tickets are now on sale for this year’s annual performance. Handel’s Messiah will be performed at 3pm in Presser Hall on Palm Sunday, April 1st, and Easter Sunday, April 8th.

Bach’s St. Matthew Passion will be performed on Good Friday, April 6th. Tickets are available from a variety of outlets including the Presser Hall Ticket Office. Contact Bethany College for additional details.

Coming up on Saturday, February 10th, is the 2007 Chocolate Lovers Affair. The 6th annual Artful Tables Display, showcasing lovely place settings and sponsored by the Lindsborg Arts Council, is being held in conjunction with this year’s Chocolate Lovers Affair. Again, the date is, Saturday, February 10th, from 6-8pm at the Birger Sandzen Gallery. Tickets will be available at the door or may be purchased in advance by calling 227-3032.

Looking ahead, this will be another busy year in Lindsborg. The annual Millfest celebration will be held the first weekend in May, followed by Lindsborg’s annual Midsummer’s Day celebration the 3rd weekend of June. Lindsborg’s largest festival, Svensk Hyllningsfest, gets underway in October. We’ll have all the details on these events in the weeks and months to come along with our regular reports on activities and events in Lindsborg.
