I recently ran
across a quote from Emily Dickenson that said, “November always
seemed to me the Norway of the year.” I'm not at all sure what she
meant by that, and I doubt she had ever been to Norway as she
scarcely left her house, but it does give us something to think about
as we move into the month. I do know that there are several events
scheduled at the Fosston Community Library Arts Center, although none
of them have much to do with Norway.
On Monday,
November 7, there will be a meet-the-artist reception for Cathy
Forgit, whose beautiful fiber art has been on display since
mid-October. Stop by between 5 and 7 p.m. to meet her and enjoy some
refreshments. Her exibit runs through November 15, and she did study
in Norway.
On Tuesday,
November 8, the Fosston Library Book Club meets at 7 p.m. This
month's selection is The Distant Hours by
Austrailian author Kate Morton. The story involves a long-lost letter
arriving 50 years after it was sent, that lures Edie Burchill to a
crumbling castle, home of three elderly Blythe sisters. Edie's mother
had been sent to stay there during World War II. I haven't read it
yet, but the description hooked me at “crumbling castle.”
Beginning
November 18, there will be a new display in the Sorenson Gallery,
featuring works by Darlene Busch of Billings, Montana. Darlene has
roots in northern Minnesota and works in arcylic, collage and mixed
media. Her exhibit run through the end of the year.
On Tuesday,
November 29, there will be a chess holiday tourney beginning at 3:30
p.m. Contact April at the library (435-1320) for more information.
Not in November,
but coming up December 1-3 is the community theater production of
“The Best Christmas Pageant Ever” directed by Abby Pearson and
Donna Parenteau. Twenty-seven actors of all ages are perfoming at 7
p.m. each evening. Tickets are available at Generations.
Just a reminder –
the library will be closed Friday, November 11, in observance of
Veterans Day, and Thanksgiving Day, November 24. It will close an
hour early on Wednesday, November 23, at 5 p.m.
