Owatonna - “Step Back in Time”
Thursday, September 29 Owatonna, the heart of southern Minnesota, is home to an array of historic treasures. The day will start at the Steele County History Center where you’ll explore the history of Steele County, as well as what life was like at the turn of the 20th century in the “Village of Yesteryear”. Next up, the Minnesota State Public School Orphanage, is the only museum of its kind in the United States. Over 10,000 neglected children were sent there from 1886-1945 to be prepared for adoption or placement. Intended to be temporary, some children stayed for years. The final stop, National Farmers’ Bank, is one of the “11 Can’t-Miss Stops on a Tour of America’s Hidden Architecture Gems”. It was designed in the early 1900s by Louis Sullivan, “the father of the skyscraper”, and mentor to Frank Lloyd Wright.

Old Log Theatre presents “Once Upon a Mattress”
Thursday, February 9 Mary Rodger’s classic Once Upon A Mattress is a delightful musical that has become a fan favorite in theatres everywhere! Many moons ago in a far-off place, Queen Aggravain decreed no couples could marry until her son, Prince Dauntless, found a bride. Princesses came from far and wide to win the hand of the prince, but none could pass the impossible tests given to them by the Queen. That is, until the “shy” swamp princess, Winnifred the Woebegone, showed up. Would she be able to pass the Sensitivity Test, marry her prince and help Lady Larkin and Sir Harry to the altar? Carried on a wave of wonderful songs, by turns hilarious and raucous, romantic and melodic, this rollicking spin on the classic tale The Princess and the Pea provides some side-splitting shenanigans. For after all, a princess is a delicate thing.
