SUMMARY:Songs of Cowboy Poems of the Great Northern Plains
DESCRIPTION:On Sunday\, February 2\, 2025\, come listen to talented singer/songwriter Michael “Mac” McDonald present a concert of tunes he has written for some of the finest cowboy poems of the Great Northern Plains\, featuring cowboy poetry of E. A. Brininstool\, Badger Clark\, E. A. L. Griffin\, and Robert V. Carr. Admission is free; reception to follow. \nMac has a lengthy history of playing music in the Siouxland area from days of the Kerry House at Junction City\, to being the voice of live Irish music on KUSD-FM on Saint Patrick’s Day\, and to working with the South Dakota Friends of Old Time Music. McDonald often plays tunes with his daughter\, Heather\, performing at the South Dakota State Fair as well as at three Sioux Falls’ Irish Fests\, a Kansas City Irish Fest\, and an Iowa Irish Fest. \nMcDonald wrote a program of Lewis and Clark tunes for the 2002 bicentennial\, and the Lewis and Clark Interpretive Center soon contacted McDonald to perform his program for the new Center featuring his tune\, “The Lament of Charles Floyd.” Recently\, McDonald has been reading a great deal of cowboy poetry from the late nineteenth and the early twentieth centuries and taking those poems and turning them into modern-day “nighthawk tunes\,” tunes that cowboys sang to their bedded herds of cattle sung to keep the cattle from being spooked by night noises. Hope to see you at the Center on February 2nd.

SUMMARY:"Cotton Mather: Spirituality\, Science\, and the Supernatural" Dr. Scott Culpepper
DESCRIPTION:Dr. Scott Culpepper will present “Cotton Mather: Spirituality\, Science\, and the Supernatural” at 2:00 PM on Sunday\, February 23\, 2025\, at the Betty Strong Encounter Center. Admission is free with a reception to follow. \nCotton Mather (1663-1728) wielded tremendous influence in colonial America as the heir to the Mather and Cotton family dynasties. He served as a Congregationalist minister at Boston’s Old North Meeting House\, using his platform to address political\, scientific\, and social issues.
