The Brookings Summer Arts Festival

This coming weekend will see Pioneer Park teeming with people as the town is host to the annual Summer Arts Festival.  A few classes generally have a reunion, which seems rather appropriate.  We have had a few during this time, also.  One never knows who may be walking around the park during the festival.  We here in town are often surprised by those who are in attendance.

This weekend also marks the 90th birthday of Erling Engstrom, the band instructor for many years at the Jr. Hi./Middle School. An Open House is scheduled for him on Saturday, July 14 from 2:00 to 5:00 PM at Meadow Green Clubhouse.  Meadow Green is located on 22nd Avenue near Edgebrook Golf Course.  Both the Register and Argus-Leader noted this occasion, and indicated that "Former students, student teachers, colleagues and friends are invited to bring your instruments and a music stand.  Music will be provided."   If you happen to be in town this weekend, and you were influenced by Mr. Engstrom's expertise, it may well be worth the time to stop by and express your appreciation to him for his efforts.
