For many years Redwood Falls has had a
Chautauqua season-for so many years that it
has become an institution like the annual school
meeting or the county fair or Thanksgiving Day.
But that is no reason why you should take the
program too much for granted and say you think
you won't go because it's always about the same
year after year. Each year that little program
booklet contains notices of interesting and enter
tanning features-things you are sorry you have
missed after the others tell you what fine
number it is. If you haven't the leisure nor the
mental appetite for the complete course, you will
at least be wise to look through the program,
select several numbers that really appeal to you
as being YOUR sort of program and attend
them. Lectures, drama and music such as the
Chautauqua offers come infrequently enough to
towns the size of Redwood Falls. Let us make
the most of them while they are here.
