Jam with us at the National Music Museum!
The National Music Museum is excited to announce the addition of Music Storytime to our events schedule! Beginning on Saturday, June 1, join us at 10:30 a.m. on the first Saturday of each month in the lobby of the National Music Museum in Vermillion for an enchanting journey through the world of music - tailored especially for children ages 3 to 6. In each interactive session, little ones will embark on a magical adventure filled with musical discovery, rhythmic tales, and toe-tapping tunes.
NMM's Music Storytime is a delightful fusion of storytelling and music, designed to captivate young hearts and minds. Through a carefully curated selection of stories and songs, children will not only be entertained but also encouraged to explore the power of music as a means of expression and creativity.
Led by Anna Van Kley, NMM's Museum Educator, each session promises a unique and engaging experience where children will develop a deeper appreciation for music, enhance their listening skills, and foster a love for storytelling. So, come join us as we embark on a harmonious journey where stories come to life through the magic of music!
We are very excited to be partnering with the City of Sioux City again this year to provide some awesome family fun! There will be an apple station (with apples prepared several different ways), simple and safe candle making, archery, a campfire cooking demonstration, and a reader’s theatre performance of The Legend of Sleepy Hallow. And don’t worry if you can’t make this event during the regular class time, because these programs are available Saturday and Sunday, from noon until 4:00!

As the first event in the second year of its Dakota Prairie Concert Series, the Yankton United Church of Christ-Congregational is bringing Humbletown to its historic sanctuary (5th & Walnut) for a free concert on Friday, October 18, at 7 p.m. Humbletown is a bluegrass, old time, hot club swing, Americana, and classic country band, playing clawhammer banjo, flatpick guitar, upright bass, dobro, and more. The band was born in Vermillion but is now headquartered in the Black Hills. Their Yankton performance will be the beginning of a tour that will include Kansas City, the Twin Cities, Chicago, and many smaller venues, all organized around a gig at FARM (Folk Alliance Regional Midwest) later in October.

You probably already know that Lewis and Clark encountered Native Americans on their journey. But did you know that Lewis, Clark, and the Corps of Discovery came into direct contact with around 50 Native American Nations? It is important for us to know that Native Americans played a very important role by helping the Corps of Discovery survive the expedition. During this class we will learn about some of the different nations who were living west of the Mississippi River, which nations were helpful, and just how important their help was.Register here: https://siouxcitylcic.com/series/percys-pals/
