Join us Saturday, September 23rd, 7pm at the Cresco Theatre & Opera House for RUSTIC MOON, a Neil Young Tribute. With his amazing Neil Young sound-a-like voice, Tom Schramm and his band of skilled musicians add a joyful energy to the emotion-filled essence and edge of Neil Young’s music. Whether it’s the powerful ragged sound of “Rockin’ in the Free World”, or the raw exposed vocals of “Old Man”, this show will resonate with Neil Young fans of any generation. Formed in October 2019 in Lanesboro Minnesota, RUSTIC MOON received rave reviews following their first concert (December 2019) where they opened for nationally recognized “Free Fallin” Tom Petty tribute band to a nearly sold-out crowd. The energy and excitement of the audience fueled aspirations to bring the show to new audiences, locally, regionally, and beyond!

Tickets available at the end of July.

Join us for this online class every Monday from September 25th through November 20th from 6:30-8:30pm.

Research shows that exposure to abuse and neglect in a child’s formative years can have long-term emotional and behavioral effects on children. The ACT Raising Safe Kids program can help parents and caregivers raise children in safe, stable, healthy environments.

In the series of lessons parents and caregivers will gain strategies for:

  • Dealing with children's difficult behaviors using developmentally appropriate responses;
  • Controlling their own anger;
  • Helping children control their anger;
  • Teaching children how to resolve conflicts without using violence;
  • Using positive discipline methods that fit the children's age; and
  • Reducing the influence of media violence on children.
