Winona’s Capital for a Day celebration continues Sept. 13

Saint Mary’s is again assisting with a Winona Capital for a Day celebration Saturday, Sept. 13, with a magic show, good food and an outdoor animated movie.

Grab a lawn chair and some blankets and prepare for a full day of activities Sept. 13 at the Lake Park bandshell area. After the Heroes Among Us, Paddle for Life, and Family Art Day events, stay for an evening of free family fun including:

• The Halls of Magic from 5:30 to 7 p.m. — Twin Cities magician Kevin Hall and his wife will provide audience members with an incredible blend of comedy, magic, illusion and some wild interactive games for the kids. Special local celebrities are scheduled to become on-stage assistants.

• A special, outdoor showing of “The Bee Movie” at 7 p.m. — This animated family favorite will be shown on a 40’ by 22.5’ screen, provided by Twilight Zone Outdoor Cinema.

Both presentations are free and open to the public. Food vendors will be available. For more information, contact Deb Nahrgang, dnahrgan@smumn.edu.

During the Family Art Day events, which run from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. and 2 to 4 p.m., Monta May MFA ’04 of Communication and Marketing will be conducting a workshop for adults and children ages 10 & older on tapestry weaving.
