Celebrate
Mother’s Day with HCSCC on Sunday May 11, 2014. All mothers will
receive free admission into the museum at the Hjemkomst Center and all
the exhibits we have to offer.
From
the home front to the front lines of combat, Americans did their part
to help win World War II, and Clay County was no exception. Doing Our Part: Clay County in WWII
tells the stories of the men, women, and children of Clay County who
were affected by the war and how it changed the fabric of everyday life.
Families sending loved ones off to war, scrap drives and rationed food
became part of daily life from 1942 to 1945.
Experience
the extraordinary footage and unforgettable stories of strength and
survival of the “Minnesota Disasters” exhibit. This exhibit is on
temporary loan from the Minnesota History Center in St. Paul and will be
traveling to venues throughout Minnesota. Supplemented with photos and
texts about Clay County’s disasters, the exhibit closes May 26, 2014.
FMVA
BIG Art Show displays a wide variety of art (2D and 3D) from both
emerging and established artists. Each artwork is accompanied by a

creating the work and the technique involved in making it, helping the

creative process involved. All participants need to be members of FMVA
and can submit one work for the show.
