A New Birth of Freedom
TONIGHT • 5/13 • 6:00pm
Winterset Public Library
Enjoy hearing a first-hand account, from Abraham Lincoln himself, of the history of the United States during his time. Starting with his childhood on the frontier, to the twelve turbulent years from 1854 to 1865 which nearly destroyed our young nation. Thankfully, they eventually resulted in a “new birth of freedom” instead.
Silo
Friday & Saturday at 7pm, Sunday at 2pm
The Iowa Theater
SILO is the first ever feature film about a grain entrapment. Disaster strikes in a small American farm town when a teenage boy becomes the victim of a grain entrapment. As corn becomes quicksand inside of a 50-foot silo, the town locals must put aside their deeply rooted differences to save him from drowning in the grain they harvest. Not Rated; 1 hr 16 min

One more thing…
Typically, I don’t cover the events of businesses unless they are sponsors. (I want this to be a place where the focus is mostly on community organizations.) However, Frostee’s and the Winterset Cidery are both opening for the season this Saturday, which is definitely worth mentioning!
It’s a GREAT day to be a Winterset Citizen—
