A blog about Lindsborg

Welcome to Lindsborg Town Talk, your source for news about upcoming events and activities in Lindsborg.

Looks like July is a good month for art lovers in Lindsborg. Representing the peforming arts is live theater in the form of Broadway RFD, and there are at least 3 places with new art exhibitions on display in July.

Starting at the Bethany Home, area photographer Kathy Shogren will display some of her award winning nature photographs during the month of July. Included in the display are wonderful photos of landscapes, close-ups of insects and flowers.

Next we head over to the Red Barn Studio, where Roger Gerberding is the artist-in-residence in early July. Roger, who is from Council Bluffs Iowa, is returning to the Red Barn for his 2nd year. He will be teaching a pastel workshop on Saturday, July 12th. Contact the Red Barn at 227-2217 for more information.

And over at the Sandzen Gallery, artist Anne Horton presents Paper and Paint, a series of new works by the artist. The exhibition runs through August 24th, and tomorrow, Sunday July 6th, there will be a reception for Anne and guest artist David Kinder from 2-4pm at the Sandzen Gallery.

Broadway RFD. The name itself is a contrast between city and country and highlights the best of both worlds present at a Broadway RFD performance, high quality theater in a comfortable, small-town setting.

This year, the talented cast and crew of the midwest’s longest running outdoor theater is presenting State Fair. Performances are in Swensson Park, starting at 8:30 pm on July 18th, 19th, 25th and 26th. Tickets are 6$ for adults and 4$ for children. They may be purchased in advance at the Lindsborg Chamber of Commerce or at the park the evening of the shows.

And congratulations to everyone who participated in the Lindsborg Tomorrow Wellness Trek! The trek ran for the month of June and over 75 people participated; winners will be celebrated at an upcoming event later this summer.

till next time, this is Mike Rodriquez with Lindsborg Town Talk.
