Willmar Public Library – The Minnesota Historical Society invites everyone for the world premiere of a documentary called “Willmar Weddings.  Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow.”  The film explores marriage and growing up and was created by and for women and girls in Willmar.  Through interviews and research with women who’ve enjoyed 50+ years of marriage and teen girls, they’ve created a piece unique to their experiences, but universal in its sentiments.  The 20 minute fill will be shown at 11 am and 2 pm in the Community Room at the Library.

Rice Memorial Hospital – Come see a newly completed mural by artist Karen Kosmas.  The mural, commissioned by an anonymous donor, depicts a rock wall with openings looking out on a lake scene.  The scene is symbolic of looking through portals at the stages of one’s life.  Stop at the front desk for directions to the mural.

The Barn Theatre – The Barn Theatre will have works by Vincent Marino on display in their gallery for 1 – 5 pm.  The production, “The Rabbit Hole,” a drama, will be on stage Saturday evening at 7:30, as well as evenings through Sept. 25th.
