One of the new ventures for the FCLAA is a writers' group, which will be meeting monthly, at 7:30 p.m. in the Sorenson Gallery at the library. The meetings are open to anyone interested in writing, whether for publication or simply for one's own enjoyment. The group has met twice so far, but new members are welcome at any time. The members of the group will be sharing some of their writings with each other, and hopefully also on this blog. The next writers' group meeting is scheduled for Thursday, Aug. 27, at 7:30.

August at the Fosston Community Library Arts Center
Will August bring us the dog days of summer or will July’s fall-like weather just continue on through September? I can’t answer that question, but I can tell you about some great opportunities at the Fosston Community Library Arts Center.
The 1940s’s Radio Hour will be performed August 19-22 in the arts center theater with curtain time at 7:30 p.m. Tickets are now available at Generations clothing store. Rehearsals are underway and from what I understand, things are going well. Cast members are Phil Ehlke, Donna Parenteau, Phil Juve, Abigail Faldet, Leah Carlson, Leif Pearson, Solomon Hanson, Dawson Ehlke, Ray Miller, Aage Carlsen, Dustin Carlson, Matthew Goinz and Lee Foster. Whitney Stuckey is the director with Matthew Goinz in charge of the music.
Songs in The 1940’s Radio Hour include "Strike Up the Band" and "Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy." The first part of the play depicts the cast of the radio show getting ready for the broadcast with all the problems that entails, and the second part is a performance of the show. Come to hear some good music and have a lot of laughs. It promises to be a great performance.
In the gallery, John Kolb’s paintings are on display through Aug. 28. Acrylic on Styrofoam, Kolb’s paintings are colorful and three-dimensional. Stop in and take a look at this cheerful display.
The children’s, teens’ and adults’ summer reading programs are continuing, and there is still time to read enough books to qualify for the prize drawings. The Teen Read party is Aug. 13 at 7 p.m. with entertainment by the band Freedom Fighters (Brady and Kyle Arneson, Nelson Papke and Bryant Schmidt). The adult reading program closes with prize drawings, ice cream and coffee at 3 p.m. on August 21, which is also the final day for the children’s reading program.
Mark your calendars now for a special concert coming up Tuesday, October 6. Multi-instrumentalist Todd Green plays over 30 string, flute and percussion instruments from all over the world. He uses a custom-built electronics system to layer sounds, in effect becoming a one-man band of world music. His concert features original music inspired by more than a half dozen cultures in the Middle East, Asia, South America and Africa. It should be an amazing concert so plan now to attend.
