This program will be held at the museum.

Light refreshments served.

THANK YOU TO OUR PROGRAM SPONSOR

It is 1936 in rural Minnesota.

A little deaf boy is outside at a country schoolhouse. He cannot hear what the teacher hears....a tornado-like dust storm is approaching the school. The teacher rushes out, trying to save the boy.

This real-life scenario will be read aloud by Linda Winter-Hodgson from her book, "Two Groves of Trees", while Della Conroy paints the scene.

Join us at the museum for this 'first-time' ever duo event!

Della's painting will be auctioned off at the conclusion of the program.

Light refreshments.
