In this installment of the Untold Stories of Central Minnesota, we look at the impact of arts funding as Arts & Cultural Heritage Producer Jeff Carmack talks with Leslie LaCuyer, Executive Director for the Central Minnesota Arts Board.
The CMAB has just wrapped up another round of awarding Project Grants to various arts organizations around the central Minnesota area, and the impact of these 23 Legacy funded events and programs will be felt both on our city streets and out in our local cornfields.
From dance to poetry, from elementary aged children to senior citizens, and from dinner theater to festivals that celebrate our common roots, the work that the Central Minnesota Arts Board is promoting through their use of MN Arts and Cultural Heritage funding is diverse, poignant, and probably coming to a community organization near you!

Today is Memorial Day. So happy Memorial Day. Many people have the day off work today and many will be spending time with friends and family. But what is Memorial Day all about? Because it’s about more than just a 3 day weekend. Memorial Day is a special day set aside to remember and honor the brave men and women who have fought and died serving their country. It is a time of reflection and remembrance for those that have given the ultimate sacrifice. So for this episode of Don’t Cha Know I talked to local veteran Lefty Lee. We sat down at the local American Legion here in Winona one afternoon last week. It was a pleasure speaking with Lefty and I hope that you enjoy our conversation as much as I did.
