Bluff Country Studio Art Tour

Bluff Country Studio Art Tour is a self -guided studio tour taking place in Southeast Minnesota typically last full weekend in April. Locations participating in the tour are located from Winona to the Iowa border and from the Mississippi River west to the communities along US Highway 52. Many of the artists participate in their studios but there are also participating galleries and a shared display space at the Lanesboro Community Center for artists whose studios aren’t conducive or accessible for visitors.

Ronald Dahl’s Willy Wonka

Ronald Dahl's Willy Wonka follows enigmatic candy manufacturer Willy Wonka as he stages a contest by hiding golden tickets in five of his scrumptious candy bars. Whomever comes up with these tickets will win a free tour of the Wonka factory, as well as a lifetime supply of candy. Four of the five winning children are insufferable brats: the fifth is a likable young lad named Charlie Bucket, who takes the tour in the company of his equally amiable grandfather. The children must learn to follow Mr. Wonka's rules in the factory... or suffer the consequences.
