As the Untold Stories of Central Minnesota wraps up 2017, Arts and Cultural Heritage Producer Jeff Carmack sits down with St. Cloud Mayor Dave Kleis to reflect on the challenges and successes of St. Cloud over the past year.
From roundabouts to race relations to economic development, today you’ll hear how the city formulated solutions to tackle these issues as well as the City’s plans for the future, including a New Year’s Resolution or two!
On this episode of Ojibwe Stories: Gaganoonididaa we listen to Obizaan [Lee Staples], a spiritual advisor for the Mille Lacs Band of Ojibwe, and Chato Gonzalez, Obizaan’s apprentice and translator. In this two-episode series, Obizaan talks about what he calls the three different “camps” in Ojibwe culture: the “traditional” camp, the “lost spirit” camp, and the “hang around the fort” camp.
In this first episode (of two), they describe the differences between the three camps and then discuss the “traditional” camp in greater detail. In next episode, they will go into greater detail about the “lost spirit” camp, and the “hang around the fort” camp.
In today’s Untold Story of Central Minnesota, Arts & Cultural Heritage Producer Jeff Carmack visits backstage at one of St. Cloud’s newer holiday traditions. “Laughing All the Way VIII: If the Fates Allow” is an original holiday stage show written, directed, and produced locally by the Pioneer Place Theater Company. This year, the show features a familiar cast full of veteran actors and musicians from past shows who’ve come together to develop this fresh, fun, and silly holiday spectacle.
Plus, they say “the show must go on” and it looks like this year’s title, “Laughing All the Way VIII: If the Fates Allow” is rather poignant because the fates provided a fair amount of outside medical drama, including cancer and broken legs, that had to be overcome for the show to be a success.
