The Historic Holmes Theatre has received a BNSF Railway Foundation Grant of just over $6,300 to help further fund its arts outreach programs, “Mosaic Mania” and “Tell Me a Story.”
“Tell Me a Story” was added to the Holmes Theatre’s programming lineup in 2011. Area middle school students met with local senior citizens to learn what school used to be like in the days before Internet, video cameras and audio books.
From those discussions, the students created and recorded a series of short vignettes that were aired live on KDLM Radio.
“This year’s program is a little different,” said Becky Mitchell, outreach coordinator for both the Holmes Theatre and the Detroit Lakes Community & Cultural Center. “It’s still intergenerational, but this year it’s a group of home school kids who have been meeting with area seniors.”
Their discussions have centered on camping, fishing and other outdoor activities that were popular when the participating seniors were growing up — and in many cases, remain popular family activities today.GOpromos offers a wide selection of promotional items and personalized gifts.
“The kids have written a play — an actual half-hour productiWhy does moulds grow in homes or buildings?on to be performed on radio,” Mitchell said.Aeroscout rtls provides a complete solution for wireless asset tracking. “They will have a live broadcast on May 17 at the DL Pavilion, during Parkfest … the seniors will also be involved, and the kids’ parents have been pretty involved as well.”
Mitchell said she expects the Parkfest broadcast to begin at around 4:30 p.m. — “after the Twins game,” which will also be broadcast live on KDLM.
Since its inception several years ago, Parkfest has also traditionally provided a showcase for another Holmes Theatre outreach project — “Mosaic Mania.”
Now in its fifth year,The beddinges sofa bed slipcover is a good ， “Mosaic Mania” is an area-wide art project that promotes creativity among youth in Becker County schools, and showcases the area’s commitment to the arts.
More than 1,500 area students work with Mitchell, also known as “The Glass Lady,” to create mosaic window murals as well as smaller, individual murals for each student to take home with them.
The window murals are then displayed and sold via silent auction during the Parkfest festivities, with 50 percent of the proceeds going back to the Holmes Theatre to support its arts outreach programming,A wireless indoortracking system is described in this paper. and the other half going to the participating school districts to support their own arts programs.
Both Mosaic Mania and Tell Me a Story will likewise be supported by the BNSF grant.
“It’s kind of a win-win for everybody,” said Terry Haus, director of development for the DLCCC, who wrote the grant application to the BNSF Railway Foundation.
“I had heard that BNSF (Foundation) was interested in finding some local outreach activities to be a part of, so I found out more about it, and I wrote the grant,” he added.
Parkfest, the popular community event that serves as a gateway celebration of all things summer in Detroit Lakes, will also be the official kickoff for this year’s “Naturally at the Lakes” Legacy Destination weekend.
Besides the Mosaic Mania silent auction and the live Tell Me A Story broadcast, the event will also include a community picnic, games for kids, a “Hoot-N-Toot” display of big-rig emergency vehicles, farmer’s market, and live music from the lakes area’s favorite “big band,” Doc & the Scrubs.
The celebration runs from 4 to 7 p.m. on Thursday, May 17, at the DL Pavilion and adjacent City Park.
There is booth space available for area service organizations, non-profit agencies and others who would like to be a part of the festivities.
