Fun Events coming up

With the cold dark days of November upon it, it’s good to have some fun events in the offing. The Aurora Center for the Arts has a couple of exciting opportunities scheduled. Admittedly, they are not until December, but you will probably want to put them on your calendar and maybe get tickets soon. “White Christmas” is now in rehearsal and will be performed at the art center December 4-8. This should be a great way to kick off the holiday season. Watch for ticket information – tickets should be available soon. On Friday, December 20, Dan Rodriguez will present his holiday concert at 7 p.m. Tickets are available at Nord’s or online at auroracenterforthearts.org. Past concerts by Rodriguez have sold out, so don’t procrastinate. Photographs by Lynette Ross will be featured at the Sorenson Gallery through mid-December. Nature, wildlife and snowmobile racing – it should be an enjoyable display. Meanwhile, at the Fosston Library, book club will meet Tuesday, November 19, at 2 p.m. This month’s book is Neither Wolf nor Dog by Kent Nerburn. I haven’t had a chance to read it yet, but it is highly recommended by our book club leader. A former Minnesota Book Award winner, this memoir draws the reader into the world of an Indian elder know only as Dan. Readers will be introduced to characters such as Jumbo, a 400-lb. mechanic, and Annie, an 80-year-old Lakota woman living in a log cabin. Plan to attend for stimulating discussion plus coffee and goodies. Bingo for the kiddos will be Wednesday, November 20, at 3:30. This is always a popular event, because, as you know, there are prizes. Remember, the library will be closed on Veterans Day, November 11, and on Thanksgiving Day, which is November 28 this year. If you need a book, (Remember those cold, dark days) when the library is not open, e-books are available 24-7 with the Libby app. If you don’t have it, contact your local library for help.
