Festivals, Anne Frank, and Caregivers

Festival Season has arrived, starting with Boone River Valley Festival on Memorial Day. Next on the summer festival circuit are Firemen's Days in Cambridge (May 7-8), and Story City's Scandinavian Days ( May 6- 9), so we devoted our program to giving a preview of those events.  Jay Wilson from the Story City Greater Chamber Connection  previewed events including the Judge Story Theatre production of Children of Eden.    Also onstage this weekend at Ankeny Community Theatre is The Diary of Anne Frank.  Director Cheryl Clark discussed the play and the serious issues it raises.  Finally, Mathew Covington of Iowa Citizens for Community Improvement, called to tell us about a Susannah Dyen, from "Caring Across Generations" who be speaking on actions to support paid and family caregivers.
