The City of Victoria, in partnership with Community Involvement Endowment, Inc. and Charlson Meadows, is pleased to announce dedication plans for the Charlson Thun Community Bandstand.
Dedication activities are scheduled for Wednesday, May 18, 2016 and will be held on the bandstand stage, located in downtown Victoria.
10:00 am – 2:00pm: Jack and Kitty, an Emmy Award winning folk duo, based in Minneapolis, will be performing “on stage” throughout the day for selected Schools of Eastern Carver County classes. Jack and Kitty describe their program as “organic vaudeville folk”; the program is one of the “most in-demand” musical acts for children. The Jack and Kitty performances are sponsored by the Arts Consortium of Carver County.
All Day: In concert with the mission of supporting community visual and performing arts, the Charlson Thun Community Bandstand Dedication activities will include an Eastern Carver County Schools “juried arts” program. Selected entries will be displayed in the Victoria Library and hosted by the Friends of the Victoria Library.
