Landmark Center

Saved from the wrecking ball in the 70's, The Landmark Center, one time serving as post office and courthouse, is now home to a variety of arts and cultural organizations. Sundays at Landmark activities began in September and will continue into the spring. This Sunday's event is hosted by the German American Institute and celebrates St. Martin's Day. Last year we arrived late but still had time to make our paper lanterns and take them across to Rice Park at dusk. We watched the arrival of St Martin by horseback and listened to the story of the cloak and the needy beggar. (Last year's paper lantern....not so great looking....how can I do better I wondered.....must compete with 10 year olds....lantern making ideas abound on the internet....I could make a star lantern or a lantern made out of a beer can, or perhaps recycled milk containers!)
