Special Events
Keep an eye on this page. We have many special events planned for the season, and we’ll tell you all about them here. Just for starters:
$10 Tuesday
Libraries have books, theaters have plays. We believe everyone ought to have access to both. To prove it, we’re knocking down one more barrier. If you think you can’t afford an evening of live theater, think again. $10. Every Tuesday. All season. Buy Tickets
Chicken Q
Saturday, June 19 (11 a.m. – Until Gone)
On June 19th, plan on being hungry, because you don’t want your tastebuds to miss out on this! Great River Shakespeare Festival and Winona Legion Post #9 are offering a half chicken dinner with a baked potato, coleslaw, and roll for $8. You can get your food at the Winona Area Veteran’s Center, located at 302 E. Sarnia Street (map), or ask to have it delivered to you (10 order minimum). Grilling by Sons of the American Legion.
