SUMMARY:Poetry Out Loud National Recitation Contest
DESCRIPTION:The Betty Strong Encounter Center will host as the Iowa Arts Council and National Endowment for the Arts in cooperation with LAMB Arts Regional Theatre present “Poetry Out Loud National Recitation Contest” at 2:00 p.m. Sunday\, January 12. Admission is free with reception to follow. \nThis is the 19th year since the National Endowment for the Arts first partnered with the Poetry Foundation to establish the Poetry Out Loud program\, a program encouraging high school students to learn great poetry through memorization and recitation.  This contest for Siouxland students encourages learning about great poetry through memorization and recitation and helps students master public speaking skills\, build self-confidence\, and learn about literary history. This competition can potentially send students on to Des Moines for the Iowa State Competition and one to Sioux Falls for the S.D. State Competition\, both held in March.  Each winner at the state level receives $200 and an all-expense paid trip with an adult chaperone to Washington DC to compete for the National Championship in May. The State winning school receives a $500 stipend for the purchase of poetry books.  The first runner up in each state receives $100 plus $200 for his or her school library. \nThe National Poetry Out Loud first place winner directly receives $20\,000\, the second place receives $10\,000 directly\, and third place receives $5\,000. The fourth through ninth place national winners each receive $1000.  All nine schools receive $500 for the purchase of poetry books for their libraries. A total of $50\,000 in awards and school stipends is awarded annually at the National Finals. Visit poetryoutloud.org for more information

SUMMARY:50 Years of Big Names\, Great Music\, and Memorable Venues: Sioux City on the Music Circuit
DESCRIPTION:On Sunday\, January 26\, 2025\, at 2:00pm\, Russ Gifford will present about “50 Years of Big Names\, Great Music\, and Memorable Venues: Sioux City on the Music Circuit” Admission is free; reception to follow. \nIt was no accident that Sioux City spent decades as a key stop for some of music’s biggest names. Sioux City boasted venues with great stages\, big\, beautiful dance floors\, and all in a central location that provided the key train and travel connections to the world. Early radio in Siouxland also provided a major ability to reach people across the region. As one of the major cities in the Plains\, the second largest city in Iowa\, Sioux City was home to a variety of people. These people who could be moved by big bands\, country crooners\, smooth jazz singers and hot new stars. \n Move was a key point: Dancing was the draw of music\, and Sioux City’s dance facilities were second to none in the Midwest. Sioux City drew big names – and rave reviews – as they toured the country. In Sioux City\, the artists made connections! From the Skylon to Shore Acres\, the Rigadon to the Paddock\, the Tomba and the Turin Inn\, we will see the places and hear the stories of the names that made Sioux City a popular part of the music scene! We will also see how Sioux City made history in each era\, including Jazz\, Swing\, and the groundswell that became Rock n Roll! \n None of this was by accident. Sioux City was not a side bar but a key location for great performances\, thanks to great locations\, great promotions\, and great audiences! \nWe will meet names from yesterday that made memories for millions\, from Louie Armstrong to Elvis\, big bands to the Beach Boys\, Sioux City enticed\, entertained\, and elated the stars of the stage. We will also meet the man that became a vital link in creating this circuit\, and enshrined Sioux City’s place in it. \nJoin Russ Gifford and see these great locations that have been forgotten and hear the stories of the artists that left a mark on music and on the business. Russ Gifford\, Senior Lecturer with Western Iowa Tech’s Institute for Lifelong Learning\, delivers tales of American history to audiences in the tri-state region. His two decades of programs include over 350 unique talks\, plus numerous articles\, and historical papers. Gifford’s work garnered two teaching awards\, and his lectures have been supported by grants from Humanities Iowa\, the Kind World Foundation\, and others.
