It’s spring and the Art in Bloom exhibit will blossom at an opening reception on May 10 from 5 to 7 and continue in bloom on Thursdays thru Sundays from 11 am to 4 pm.  Flowers were part of art history from Egyptian times, the Renaissance and today’s modern eras.  Flowers have made their mark in jewelry, hairpieces and tattoos.  You’re invited to see the interpretations of regional artists, budding with their creativity.

The play reading of Mom’s Gift is an audience pleaser with a surprise ending.  The play written by Phil Olsen offers heart in just the right places.  In this comedy, Mom has been dead for 11 months, but shows up at her husband’s birthday part as a spirit on a mission.  There are hilarious moments in the presentation.

Join us at the Grape Escape! Melissa McGuire will show, with illustrations, how underwear developed since medieval times through the 20th century. This program is organized by the Galena Public Library.

Bob Dylan’s 1996 concert in Dubuque is recognized among Dylan fans around the world as one of the wildest in history.  3,500 fans saw Dylan at Five Flags on a Tuesday night and left after seeing a spectacle they would never forget.  Cory Ritterbusch is a veteran of 92 Dylan concerts and will present the details and explain the show’s long term influence.
