“How much it must mean to a man to love his country like this . . . ." – One of Ours, Willa Cather

On April 21 the Willa Cather Book Club will meet to discuss Sapphira and the Slave Girl. There are two meeting times available; 4:00 p.m. at Cherry Corner Estates and 6:00 at the Auld Public Library.

When singer and songwriter Matt Whipkey performs an acoustic show at an intimate venue, he still plays like there’s a band behind him. Having earned an Omaha Arts and Entertainment Award for artist and album of the year in 2013, Whipkey’s strong lyrical command and virtuoso guitar work is mesmerizing. Whipkey will be joined by Corey Anderson on Saturday, April 16, at 7:00 PM for an acoustic rock & roll show.

Eclectic and beautiful, the new exhibit at the Red Cloud Opera House Gallery is one-of-a-kind. Jack Sandeen, Amy Sandeen, and Mary Linnea Vaughan have collaborated to create the art exhibit Nature as Muse.

Mary Vaughan and father-daughter duo, Jack and Amy Sandeen, will be joining forces to put together a beautiful exhibition. Every piece is inspired by an element of nature; the same landsape that inspired Willa Cather has inspired these three artists. Mary Vaughan is a talented plein air artist, Amy Sandeen is known for her fine art photography, and Jack Sandeen does phenomenal woodworking pieces. 

Despicable Me's favorite little helpers are back in a movie of their very own. The Red Cloud Opera House is excited to show the movie Minions on Saturday, March 26, at 11:00 AM. This party is complete with pizza and refreshments. The Annual Red Cloud Community Easter Egg Hunt will immediately follow the movie in the City Park.

On March 17 the Willa Cather Book Club will meet to discuss the unfinished "Avignon Story." There are two meeting times available; 4:00 p.m. at Cherry Corner Estates and 6:00 at the Auld Public Library.

For decades, millions of Americans sipped their morning coffee and began their day reading three simple words, “Dear Ann Landers.” Eppie Lederer, better known as advice columnist Ann Landers, answered countless letters from lovelorn teens, confused couples, and a multitude of others in need of advice. But, many readers never knew that behind the advice columnist was a woman filled with class, charisma, and a whole lotta chutzpah!

The public is invited to meet Gregory Summers and preview his exhibit at an artist’s reception on Friday, March 4, from 5:30-7:00 p.m. The reception, which is free and open to the public, will be held at the Red Cloud Opera House prior to the Nebraska Theatre Caravan production of Lady With All The Answers.
