Hello everyone!
Happy New Year to everyone; 2007 promises to be a busy year in Lindsborg. In addition to traditional events such as the Messiah performance in the spring and the Midsummer’s Day festival in June, this year Lindsborg will once again host the Svensk Hyllningsfest in October. We’ll have full details in the coming weeks and months, and you can also check the Lindsborg Community Calendar at lindsborg.org.
Coming up tomorrow, Saturday the 6th, the Lindsborg Senior Center will hold their annual Lutfisk dinner. A traditional Swedish meal of lutfisk, potato sausage, boiled potatoes and all the trimmings, including dessert, will be served between 11:30am and 1pm at the Lindsborg Senior Center, located at 116 S. Main in downtown Lindsborg. A free will offering will be accepted.
On Sunday, January 7th, Lindsborg native Rachel Handlin will be performing in concert at the Birger Sandzen Gallery at 3pm. The program will include The Four Seasons by Vivaldi. Rachel will be joined by Dr. Daniel Masterson on harpsichord and her husband, Michael Beert, on cello. Due to limited seating, please try to arrive early.
And in 2007 the Red Barn Studio continues their fine tradition of bringing in a variety of artists as part of their Artists in Residence program. Shin-hee Chin, a fiber artist, will be in residence through the 11th of January. During her residency, which began in late December, she has been working on a commissioned work for a church in Maryland. It will consist of 65 pieces of fiber panel joined together. She is also revising several of her previous large fiber works. The Red Barn Studio is located at 212 S. Main in Lindsborg and is open from 1-4pm, Tuesday through Sunday.
Till next week, this is Mike Rodriquez with the Lindsborg update.
