Upcoming Events

THURSDAY, MARCH 11, 2001: MULTI SERIES PRESENTATION, "Penny Post Cards:
Homesteading Women," with Philip Burgess. Burgess, through poems and old post
cards, tells the story of six young Norwegian sisters moving from a small rural
community in northern Minnesota around 1910 into the greater world. The primary
focus of the story is on two of the sisters, Burgess's grandmother, Anna Lee, and his
great-aunt Dikka Lee, both of whom homesteaded in eastern Montana. Burgess
discovered nearly three hundred post cards that had been sent, mostly by
Minnesotan sisters and cousins, to Anna and Dikka Lee as they prepared for and
made their move to Montana. The women apparently used these post cards as a kind
of latter-day email, and the cards are a litany of disasters, illnesses, hard work, and
social chatter. This presentation is free to the public and is presented in part by
Humanities Montana.

*SATURDAY, MARCH 27, 2010: Mud Bay Jugglers & the Tune Stranglers, 7pm,
LCHS Auditorium. Join in on the fun. You'll see what happens when drama,
choreography and juggling combine with the complex world of music. Stick around for
the second set which features the lively sounds of the Tune Stranglers. With a
smorgasbord of stringed instruments, washboard and the occasional clarinet, the
group plays everything from hot jazz to slow blues, country melodies and swingin'
rhythms, to cowgirl yodelin' and uptown croonin.' Don't miss this show. TICKETS AT
THE DOOR: Adult $12; Student $5; Family Rate $30.

SATURDAY, APRIL 24, 2010: David Walburn, "Montana! Life Under the Big Sky",
6:30pm, LCHS Auditorium. Walburn is an accomplished singer/songwriter/storyteller
and will be in Eureka for a Saturday night Rendezvous performance. His multi-media
show entitled "Montana! Life under the Big Sky" captures the spirit and essence of
the American West, along with the characters and events from past and present
that define this region. Walburn will depart from the thematic nature of his "Montana"
show during the second set and just play some good ole' music. Displaying his
songwriting, harmonica and singing talents, Walburn will perform from his latest
album, Singing for a Living. TICKETS AT THE DOOR. $10/Adults; $3 Teens; Ages 12 &
Under are FREE! http://www.davidwalburn.com/
