The material is taken from interviews conducted by Ken McCullough with farmers and their families who live and work on the Garvin Heights Ridge. McCullough will read the pieces spoken by men, and Lynn Nankivil, playwright, will read the pieces spoken by women. They will be accompanied by violinist Betsy Neil and pianist Mark McGuire. The program will begin with a song entitled “Valediction,” sung by soprano Teri Tenseth Market and tenor Leslie Hittner, lyrics by McCullough, music by Tim Takach, a Minneapolis composer. “Early Settlement of the Ridge,” a presentation by Prof. William Crozier, historian, will follow the performance. The program is free and open to the public.
