March

Winter seems to be heading down the home stretch toward spring, although March often brings more than its share of cold and snow. Meteorological predictions aren’t really my strong suit, but I can tell you a few things about the Aurora Center for the Arts and the Fosston Library. At its annual meeting in February, the Aurora Center elected the following officers and directors for the coming year: Abby Pearson, president; Kirby Vossler, vice president; Joann Papke, secretary; Maggie Stewart, treasurer; and directors Kate Moore, Mike Mulry, Karen Norland, and Mike McColl. We look forward to good things to come. Beginning March 4 (or thereabouts) the Sorenson Gallery will feature Pamela Edevold’s “Preserving Local Indigenous Heritage through Regalia.” Edevold photographed, interviewed, and painted local native dancers. Each of the ten acrylic paintings is accompanied by a narrative. The display will be at the gallery through the month of April. At the Fosston Library, March’s book club selection is The Girl You Left Behind by Jojo Moyes. Set in France in 1916 and in London in 2006, the dual love story asks the question, “What happened to the girl you left behind?" You have two options – book club meets on Tuesday, March 12, at 7 p.m. and also on Tuesday, March 19, at 2 p.m. Check at the library for a copy of the book. Children’s bingo will be Wednesday, March 20, at 12:30. That’s an early out day for school, so the kiddos can get an early start on winning some prizes. For the younger children and their caregivers, preschool storytime is each Monday at 10:30 a.m. See you at the library!
