11 am – 5 pm Carnegie Art Center (Carnegie Library) – FREE This small white temple was glittering with newness. Betsy went up the immaculate steps, pulled open the shining door. She entered a bit self-consciously, never having been in a library before. She saw an open space with a big cage in the center, a cage such as they had in the bank, with windows in it. Behind rose an orderly forest of bookcases, tall and dark, with aisles between. From Betsy and Tacy Go Downtown

The Carnegie Gift Shop contains handcrafted works by 40 local and regional artists.

11 am – noon *The Gift of History – Maud Hart Lovelace and Laura Ingalls Wilder
Presented by Carlienne Frisch & Bryce Stenzel @ Emy Frentz Arts Guild
Laura Ingalls Wilder and Maud Hart Lovelace, born just 25 years apart in the Upper Midwest, both became writers. Laura Ingalls, born in 1867, was a child of the frontier. Maud Hart, born in 1892, enjoyed the stability of a Midwestern town in the late Victorian and Edwardian eras. Those of us who have read the Betsy-‐Tacy series, the Little House series or other books like them know that history is not primarily a list of dates and battles; it’s the stories of ordinary families who were no different from those of us living today. Maud and Laura simply grew up in another time, which they shared with us by writing about their lives. They gave us the priceless gift of history.
Lunch is on your own Noon – 1 pm Deep Valley Mural

4 – 6 pm *Stories from Little Syria
@ Elks Nature Center The Deep Valley slough, pronounced sloo, was the marshy inlet of a river. She loved her own slough, beside which she had lived all her life. Now its hummocks of grass, its rushes and cat-‐tails were moistly green, but she loved it too in autumn when its aspect was russet, and under winter’s pall of snow, and most of all in the spring when it was carpeted with marigolds. It was such a social place – always noisy with frogs and birds. One end deepened to form a pond, and the birds loved it – gulls, sandpipers, red-‐winged and yellow-‐winged blackbirds. It sounded like a barnyard sometimes when a gathering of marsh hens was cackling on the water. From Emily of Deep Valley
Living history actors tell the story of Little Syria (Tinkcomville) and Emily of Deep Valley. Afterward, explore the trails through the woods and around the slough on your own.
Tuesday, July 1 9 am – noon *A Morning with Maud
@ Lincoln Community Center auditorium Memories of Betsy-‐Tacy Days
In 1961 Maud Hart Lovelace visited Mankato and spoke to a crowd from the stage in the Lincoln School auditorium. The occasion was a city-‐wide celebration, “Betsy-‐Tacy Days”. Many of Maud’s old friends and characters in the books attended the event. Kathryn Hanson was influential in organizing Maud’s 1961 visit and will speak about her memories.
Maud Hart Lovelace Comes to Mankato! Author Maud Hart Lovelace, born and raised in Mankato, is alive and well in the imaginations of her readers and through the characters and stories of her beloved Betsy-‐Tacy books. This special program features Maud herself, a Minnesota Historical Society History Player. Maud will reminisce about her years growing up on the Big Hill, making friends, the sometimes painful process of becoming an artist and the changes Maud has witnessed in technology. Most important, though, will be telling the stories of her life, which we all know became the rich material for the Betsy-‐Tacy books, books
that are still read and loved today. Maud’s program includes audience participation, costumes, photographs and many artifacts—great fun for all.
Maud Sings Maud Maud Hixson, a longtime fan of Maud Hart Lovelace, will sing a selection of songs from the Betsy-‐Tacy books accompanied by her husband Rick Carlson on the piano. Singer of classic jazz and popular songs of the 20th century, Hixson is from St. Paul, Minnesota. She became a full-‐time musician after being presented as “Best New Voice” at the KBEM Winter Jazz Fest in Minneapolis in 2003. Maud made her Guthrie Theater debut in “Coward’s Women” in 2010 with singer Erin Schwab, performed at the New York Cabaret Convention in 2011 at Lincoln Center’s Rose Hall, and in 2012 appeared in concert with composer and pianist Richard Rodney Bennett as part of the midtown Jazz Series in New York.

Other activities that you can plan to do on your own in Mankato Any day
Glenwood Cemetery – self guided tour included in your registration packet. Visit the grave of Maud Hart Lovelace and many other characters from the books. It was too bad, Emily reflected, turning east to Broad Street, that she had to go so early, for the cemetery on the afternoon before Decoration Day was a very social place. It was full of people putting their family graves in spic and span order. At the Episcopal Church, she took the curving road up Cemetery Hill and passed through the tall arched gate. This town of marble and granite monuments was even quieter than the one she had left below. Silvery cobwebs lay unbroken on the grass. Only a callous bob-o-link disturbed the stillness, and Emily made her way with a hushed tread past modest crosses, stately obelisks, and the snowy statue of an angel, to the Webster plot which had a square granite monument with headstones marking the places where her grandmother, father and mother lay. At the foot of the graves her grandfather had placed a small white iron bench. From Emily of Deep Valley
Visit Minneopa State Park At last a line of cottonwoods and willows showed them Two Falls Creek. Inside the park they ran at once to the falls. First the creek took a downward jump of about the height of a man. Then, as though it had gained courage, it took a truly heroic leap, fifty feet or more, through a wild gorge. Trees and bushes leaned out dangerously from rocky slopes to watch. Lloyd had brought his Kodak, of course. The party took snapshots of one another at the little falls and at the big one and on the rustic bridge between. They went down under the big falls braving the noise and the spray. In the picnic grove tall trees provided green-‐gold shade. The party dropped their baskets on a table and ran for the swings. From Carney’s House Party
Bike the Red Jacket Trail “Out of West Deep Valley on the Indian Lake Road,” Larry replied. “The Indian Lake Road! That certainly sounds like our childhood.” A wave of happy memories rolled out to meet them as they crossed the slough and started south through a high-‐walled valley. …But the glow induced by memory didn’t last after they passed Indian Lake. They traveled now on the heights and now in the valley, following the distant Cutbank, and it was equally hot in both situations. From Carney’s House Party Visit Madison Lake (Murmuring Lake) and Austin Park Jesse James Theme Park – Arnie Lillo farm Rapidan Dam, the Dam Store, The Peddler (?)
