SPEAKER SERIES IF THE WALLS
COULD TALK
THIS YEAR’S SERIES IS GOING TO BE BIGGER AND BETTER THAN EVER!
AND IT IS FREE AND OPEN TO ALL WHO ARE INTERESTED.
The four-part schedule will take you back to the days before the internet to experience social and
cultural history as it happened in the Iowa Great Lakes. Each program will feature five or more
experts sharing a lively discussion about the various aspects of that night’s subject. And those in
the audience will be invited ask questions, share their story or add their opinion.
THURSDAY, JULY 11 • WHEN DINING OUT WAS AN EVENING OUT
Included in the discussion group will be former restaurant owners, bartenders, kitchen and serving staff, and patrons.
THURSDAY, JULY 25 • BIG BANDS, ROCK AND ROLL AND THE ROOF GARDEN
Included in the discussion group will be past producers, musicians and fans.
THURSDAY, AUGUST 22 • HOW THE IRON HORSE BROUGHT LIFE TO OKOBOJI
It was the railroad that made our area a tourist attraction early on and set us apart from many other Iowa and
Minnesota lakes. Hear all about it from train, resorts and local historians who know all the details.
FREE ADMISSION
NO RESERVATIONS REQUIRED
All presentations will begin at 7:30 p.m.
