Time & Time Again (Musical performed by Trinity Lutheran Sch

Join us Friday, May 10th, at 6:00 pm at the BHS Auditorium as the talented students of Trinity Lutheran School, Kindergarten through 8th grade, travel back in time to present "Time and Time Again."

It’s a blast from the past when young composer Vic Ames finds himself hurtling back in time to the Eisenhower years! Everything is a problem for Vic, who is considered ’weird’ by the bobby sox crowd. Fortunately, he crosses paths with Electra, a self-proclaimed “eccentric,” who becomes his ally. Together, they embark on a mission to ensure Vic's parents meet and fall in love. This toe-tapping, upbeat musical comedy is one that will have you dancing and singing all night!

Tickets are free, ensuring that our community has the opportunity to support our young performers and enjoy their talents. However, there is the opportunity to donate if you'd like to support our program at Trinity. Seating is limited, and tickets must be reserved online in advance.

Don't miss out on this incredible performance by the stars of tomorrow from Trinity Lutheran School on Friday, May 10th.

When:

Friday, May 10, 2024 6:00 PM thru 08:00 PM

National Trails Day: Lets Help the Zoo

If you are reading this then you must love animals! If you love animals so much then why not help us out on June 1st?

Boone County Conservation is hosting a volunteer day to remove some unwanted invasives that are overtaking the park and especially the trail! What better day to do it than on National Trails Day? National Trails Day is a day to celebrate our public trails by either hiking, cleaning, or doing a stewardship activity on them.

Since we don't want these plants and prefer not to pile them up and create an eyesore, we wanted to give back to wildlife conservation. What better way than to donate the browse to Blank Park Zoo?

Most of what we donate will go to animals such as giraffes, rhinos, wallabies, and so many more animals.

We hope you can join us!

Swede Point Park
1601 322nd Ln, Madrid, IA 50156
