April fool, April showers

April Fool, April showers, April love – What will it be? I guess we will find out as April is here. I can’t predict the future, but I can tell you what is coming up at the Aurora Center for the Arts and the Fosston Library for the month of April. The third-grade musical will be held in the theater the first week of April. Hopefully we won’t have too many April showers – I don’t think the roof is completely waterproof yet. There is usually a full house for that event with all the parents and grandparents, but if you want to watch there may be a spot for you. On Thursday, April 9, DeeDee Narum will be teaching participants to create a beautiful glass suncatcher. Anyone 15 or older is welcome. Materials are all provided. Learn layout, adhesive tehniques, and finishing methods. Leave with a completed piece readyto hang in a sunny window. Register at the Aurora Center for the Arts website. There is a fee. Narum is a mosaic artist living in Bemidji. Her work is often inspired by her garden and the natural world. It has been showcased at Minnesota galleries in Bemidji, Grand Rapids, Brainerd, and Aitken. She will have an exhibit at the Sorenson Gallery at the Aurora Center coming soon in the newly repainted gallery. If working with glass sounds too intimidating, and painting a little less so, the Fosston Library is hosting a barn quilt painting workshop on Tuesday, April 7, from 2-5 p.m. Mary Jo Schmid from Crooked Lane Farm Folk School is the instructor. At this point, the class is filled. However, if you would like to take a chance on the waiting list, call the Fosston Library at 218-435-1320. Materials are provided for this free workshop. The library book club will meet Tuesday, April 21, at 2 p.m. This month’s book is The Stolen Child by Ann Hood. I haven’t read it yet, but apparently it features secrets, love lost and found and the nature of forgiveness. Contact the library to obtain a copy of the book. Everyone is welcome. No waiting lest. Bingo for the kiddos is scheduled for Wednesday, April 15. It’s always a popular event because everyone loves a chance to win a prize.
