What do you do when your eccentric family has actual skeletons in the closet? Mortimer Brewster may be the only sane member of his family. One brother thinks he’s Teddy Roosevelt and digs the Panama Canal in the cellar. His other brother keeps undergoing ghastly plastic surgeries to hide from the police. And his adorably sweet spinster aunts take in lonely boarders…and dispose of them with their special elderberry wine. To make matters worse, Mortimer has fallen in love with Elaine, the minister’s daughter from next door, and a houseful of murderous relatives probably won’t help the relationship. This beloved screwball comedy set in 1940s Brooklyn will leave you laughing — and saying no to the elderberry wine! On the menu: Chicken Breast with Roasted Red Potatoes, Glazed Carrots, Coleslaw, Dinner Rolls, Assorted Desserts, Coffee, Hot Tea. Your trip fee includes: Motorcoach transportation, lunch, and admission. Register no later than October 12.

Why plant a rain garden? It will beautify your property, capture rainwater, reduce stormwater runoff - and the City of Owatonna and Steele County Soil & Water Conservation District can help you pay for it! Attend this complimentary, in-person class and learn about the benefits of rain gardens and how to plan and install your own. We'll kick off the class with a short field trip to see a rain garden in action at a residential property and hear maintenance tips from the homeowner. You'll learn where to put your rain garden, how to choose the right plants, and what cost-share programs exist to help you pay for the project. Please bring your questions and your ideas! This class is sponsored by the City of Owatonna, Clean River Partners, and Steele County SWCD.
