| Feb 3 Roe Family Singers return to Hastings Arts Center |
The Roe Family Singers are a Good-Time, Old-Time Hillbilly band from the tiny community of Kirkwood Hollow, MN. Led by wife & husband Kim Roe (Best Female Vocalist, City Pages/Village Voice) and Quillan Roe (Accident Clearinghouse), the band marries old-time sounds from barn-dances, fiddle pulls, and county fairs with the rock & roll passion of youth.
-Featuring banjo, autoharp, guitar, and Appalachian clogging, the band and family of fans have been regularly filling Minneapolis’ 331 Club every Monday night since 2005. They've shared the stage with Doc Watson, Ralph Stanley, Mike Seeger, Del McCoury, the Grascals, and Jim Kweskin & Geoff Muldaur. In 2011 the band was awarded the prestigious McKnight Fellowship for Performing Musicians; they won the title of “World's Best Jug Band” twice, in 2010 & 2012 at the annual Battle of the Jug Bands; and, in 2012, won the Minnesota Duet Contest at the MN State Fair.
-The Roe Family Singers mix original music and contemporary takes on old-time, traditional, and gospel tunes into one roiling & rollicking river of fresh yet familiar American music.
We are so excited for their return to our stage! If the Super Bowl isn't for you, consider escaping to Hastings for the weekend and come enjoy this concert while you visit! |

| Feb 12 "The Art of Loving Those We Lose" Valentine's Paint & Sip Event |
We know that losing a loved one can be tough, especially around Valentine’s Day. Honor your loved one and let us take care of you this year. We have a special treat in store for you. Come join us for an evening of food, conversation and a fun art project that you’ll take home with you that honors your loved one and helps keep their memory alive, all while you continue to take care of yourself and continue the healing process.
We will be painting with Hastings’ own, David Youngren, who owns Arts Aloft, LLC. David will guide us on a 2-hour painting journey. You don’t have to be a “self-professed” artist to come. David will help you each step of the way. How does art heal? It is often a welcomed distraction and physical outlet for our emotions. Scientific studies tell us that art heals by changing a person's physiology and attitude. The body's physiology changes from one of stress to one of deep relaxation, from one of fear to one of creativity and inspiration. We know that art can be therapy, promote healing and just allow us to get out and connect with others.
We will also have local speaker and author, Donna Mathiowetz with us. Donna will share her thoughts and ideas to help those who want to continue to honor their loved ones who are no longer here. The best way we can do that is to love ourselves, others and those who are gone from our sight by living fully in their place. You will come away with some ideas that you can put into use in your life!
This is a private event held at The Onion Grille in Hastings. You must be registered to attend. Space is limited to 30 people. Light appetizers and dessert provided, along with non-alcoholic beverages. A cash bar for cocktails, beer and wine will be available. (The kitchen at The Onion will NOT be open for full dinner service.)
We hope you will join us for this very special evening! Be sure to share this with your friends and family.

The pavement all along Highway 316 is deteriorating and needs a routine repair to obtain its intended service life. It is anticipated to be replaced in 2021. MnDOT is evaluating other corridor improvements between the north junction of Hwy 61 and just south of Tuttle Drive that could be made at the same time to help with safety and traffic flow for drivers, pedestrians, and bicyclists. The project team is gathering community input to assess how this corridor is used and to prioritize area needs and potential solutions.
