The next Parent Talk! is Thursday, April 10 and will be focused on Development and Growth.
There is so much information around us about what our children should be doing physically, emotionally, academically, and socially. What is real? What should we really expect as parents? When should we possibly be concerned? We will dig into development and growth at different ages and stages to understand our children better. Also, we will discuss the resources and assistance that is available when there are concerns as well as how we can best support as parents.
Join us virtually or in person!

Killer Country

We’ll begin with an included buffet lunch at the Coyote Moon Grille and then head for the St. Cloud Paramount Theatre for Killer Country. The Vees grew up on the road and in the business and have spent the better part of the last 40 years wowing audiences across the world! They have performed, recorded and/or toured with a virtual who’s who of Rock And Roll. In 2008 Jeff and Tommy joined forces with their cousin Matt Vee and his talented wife Julie Velline to form “The Killer Vees.” Tommy’s 17 year old son Bennett Vee will be joining the Killer Vees playing lead guitar. Bennett is the grandson of the late Bobby Vee and the third generation of the Vee family to take the stage! The Killer Country band is rounded out by Brian C. Peters from the Mary Jane Alm band on pedal steel and other assorted guitars along with Kale Reed of Johnny Holm Band fame on fiddle, mandolin and vocals and Alexandra Green sharing female lead vocal responsibilities.
Bus will pick up in Fairfax at the old Middle School at 8 a.m., in Gibbon on the west side of the building at 8:15 a.m. and in Winthrop at the MS/HS bus loop at 8:45 a.m. The bus will return to Winthrop at approximately 5:45 p.m., Gibbon at 6 p.m. and Fairfax at 6:15 p.m.
