have more confidence and comfort with public speaking as well as knowledge of vocal
projection, posture, body language do's and don'ts, and effective delivery.

Style on August 3, and Composing Lyrics, Songs, and Poetry on August 17. All classes

Cows, Cabbages and Clotheslines: Backyard Farming in Mining Towns of the Lake Superior Region - a Fourth Thursday in History presentation.
If you walked down a backyard alley in an iron or copper mining "location"
one hundred years ago, you'd likely meet a child leading a cow out to
pasture. On a summer day, you'd see backyards planted with rows of peas,
beans, and carrots, along with flocks of chickens and an occasional pig. In
fact, mining company officials encouraged workers and their families to
raise their own food by providing fencing, barns, and pasture land. Join
Lynn Bjorkman and Arne Alanen as they survey the history of backyard
agriculture in several mining communities in Minnesota and Upper Michigan,
and explore what's left on the ground today.
This program will be held at 7:00 pm on Thursday, July 22nd in room G002
of the Noblet Forestry Building, which is on 7th Street near MacInnes Drive
and US Highway 41 on the MTU campus. It is part of the Fourth Thursday in
History program sponsored by Keweenaw National Historical Park.
For more information, including specific directions to the event, please
