The festival has been held at the downtown Austin Municipal Plant for five years, but it’s moving to new digs as the Austin YMCA and Vision 2020 move forward on plans to build the Austin Community Recreation Center at the site.

festival to the new spaces. On the green space, there will be booths and tents, outdoor stages and more, though organizers are still very much in the planning stages. The plan is for two stages with amplified music and two stages with nonamplified classical music, which is being supported by funding through the state arts board. The classical music will be performed at the former Austin Park & Rec building beside the Paramount Theatre. That space has been acquired by the Paramount for a planned expansion. The authors will be at Sweet Reads. Demonstrating artists will also return. The Spam Museum is planning a canstruction project, where people will make sculptures out of Hormel Foods products. The featured artist, Tom Hormel, will be set up just west of the Paramount in the former Austin Parks and Recreation office, which will be acquired soon by the AACA for the Paramount’s planned expansion. As in past years, events will be held during the week to lead into the festival weekend; however, specific plans are yet

Helle said the families will be free to make what they want, and it won’t simply be a class with a teacher telling participants how to make a certain item.

to be announced. The festival’s annual Saturday show, The Dick Schindler Celebration Concert, will be on Aug. 26 featuring Artrageous, an interactive music and speed-painting experience. “The music is fun, there’s dancing and there’s art,” Rietz said. The festival Trunk Show will feature the work of David Schneider.

Paramount Theatre

On July 12, 19 and 26, the World Music Series will again bring shows to Austin. Helle called the series an amazing partnership with Riverside Concert Series, which receives grant funding to bring these acts in. The shows are free for the public to attend at the Paramount, and Riverside offers shows in Rochester as well. “It’s a pretty unusual opportunity, and I’m excited that we get to continue to do that, “ Helle said. Helle described the shows as a good chance for outstate Minnesota residents to witness unique types of music from strong acts without having to drive to the Twin Cities or Rochester and spend $40 on tickets. “This kind of helps people expand their palate, “ Helle said. “[It’s] not going to cost anything but their time.“ Each show will be about an hour long.

The Dick Schindler Celebration Concert featuring Artrageous will be Aug. 26.

F.C. Arts Initiative to feature variety of opportunities for art By Evelyn Seffinga

evelyn.seffinga@albertleatribune.com

The Freeborn County Arts Initiative, based in the historic Bessesen Building at 224 S. Broadway, will host a summer’s worth of happenings. The gallery will be open from 1 to 4 p.m. Tuesdays, Fridays and Saturdays and from 1 to 7 p.m. Thursdays.

Horses for Sophie Freeborn County Arts Initiative Gallery May 16-June 30, artist reception 1-4 p.m. Sunday

“Horses” is a group exhibition in memory of 8-year-old Sophie Stultz of Albert Lea, who was killed in a crash last summer. Artists from the community have submitted works specifically for this remembrance exhibit of all me-

diums inspired by equines. Stultz was a student in the initiative’s Kids College who loved to draw horses. Her favorite artist, Dee Teller of Faribault, will be featured in little Sophie’s honor.

Traveling benches Various locations throughout Albert Lea May 14-August TBD

The traveling benches are a series of eight art benches designed by local artists that will be displayed at several locations around Albert Lea through the summer. People are able to learn about their community and what is available to them through the benches. The benches were inspired by various elements of the community such as Eddie Cochran and turn of the century art. The benches will be auctioned off at the end of the summer at Wind Down Wednesday in Albert Lea’s historic district.

A fun, busy festival is planned for annual Wells Kernel Days By Kelly Wassenberg

kelly.wassenberg@albertleatribune.com

Wells will host its annual Kernel Days celebration from Aug. 17 to 20 this year. The activities start Aug. 14 with the Kernel Days Medallion Hunt, which is hosted by Good Shepherd Lutheran Church. Clues will be posted daily until the medallion is located. The Wells Library Foundation will host its annual salad luncheon from 11 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. Aug. 17 at the American Legion in Wells. The Little Miss Kernel program will take place at 7 p.m. A free lunch, including root beer floats, will be provided by Wells Federal Bank and Bevcomm. The event will be at 11 a.m. Aug. 18 in the bank parking lot. Horse and wagon rides will also be available at that time. As in years past, most of the weekend’s events will take place at Half Moon Park. Starting at 5 p.m. Aug. 17 there will be food stands, giant inflatables, entertainment and a beer garden at the park. Fireworks will start at 9:30 p.m. Events at the park will continue Aug. 18 and will expand to include volleyball and softball tournaments, a children’s activity tent and a petting zoo, among other activities. The annual Maple Valley Classic Car Show will begin at 8 a.m. in downtown Wells. The grand marshal and newly crowned

Little Miss Kernel will lead the Kernel Days Parade at 5 p.m. Aug. 18. Following the parade, the Jaycees will host the annual street dance with Junk FM at 9 p.m. on the stage at Half Moon Park. Throughout the weekend, the Wells Historical Museum will be open for tours. The weekend will conclude on Aug. 19 with the Veterans of Foreign Wars breakfast and the Wells Lions Club golf tournament at Wells Golf Course. According to Wells Chamber of Commerce Director Emily Hassing, participants are also invited to stop by the chamber for Kernel Days specials and more.

Freeborn County Relay for Life Thompson Oil Co. • LOCALLY OWNED • to recognize area cancer survivors By Colleen Harrison

colleen.harrison@albertleatribune.com

The American Cancer Society’s Freeborn County Relay for Life will be July 28 at the Freeborn County Fairgrounds in Albert Lea. According to the event’s website, Relay For Life is the world’s largest fundraising event to end cancer and has the most impact. The event starts at 6 p.m. with an opening ceremony. The opening ceremony is meant to bring everyone together for a high-energy event kickoff to celebrate the lives of those who have battled cancer, to inspire hope by sharing recent accomplishments and progress, and to remind everyone that fighting cancer is a year-round priority, according to the American Cancer Society. A survivors lap and then a caregivers lap will follow the opening ceremony.

During the survivors lap, upbeat music plays as all cancer survivors at the event take the first lap around the track cheered on by the other participants who line the track, celebrating their victory over cancer. During the caregivers lap, anyone who ever cared for someone with cancer walks a lap so they can be honored for their support. Caregivers walk the lap with the people they helped if they are also present at the event. Next is a luminaria ceremony that honors people who currently have cancer, those who have fought it in the past and those who’s lives have been lost because of it. The closing ceremony will finish off the night. Closing ceremonies at the event are meant to remember the lives of those lost and to celebrate that each of the event’s participants have committed to fight back against the disease over the next year.

Geneva Bar & Grill hosts cancer run If you go

By tyler Julson

news@albertleatribune.com

What: Geneva Cancer Run When: Saturday, registration at 9 a.m., ride starting at 11 a.m. Where: Ride starts at Geneva Bar & Grill

Come Worship with Us!

After a successful run in 2016, Geneva Bar & Grill is once again gearing up for the annual cancer run taking place on Saturday. According to event organizer DeeAnn Randall, the Geneva Cancer Run grows in both riders and money raised each year. The 2016 run hosted 171 bikes, nine cars and one bus, bringing in around

$20,000 — over $7,000 more than the year before. Registration for this year’s run will be $10 and starts at 9 a.m. The ride begins at 11 a.m. and will include three other stops before returning to Geneva. Riders are encouraged to come with their bikes already filled with gas, as the first stop is about 60 miles away and there’s no place to fill up in Geneva. This year’s ride is in memorial of Matt Felt, a Geneva resident who was diagnosed with lymphoma at age 18 and passed away at 26.
