ART DART RESCHEDULED TO NOVEMBER 4

By Barbara Rixstine

Please plan to take part in the FWAHC "Art Dart," now rescheduled for Sunday, November 4. Our "Art Dart" is to the Sioux City (Iowa) Art Center for a look at the Impressionist art exhibit. ³From Manet to Picasso: Impressionist & Post-Impressionist Prints & Drawings² is a traveling exhibit from Vassar College that features nearly 60 works on paper from the last 19th and 20th centuries, featuring artists such as Cezanne, Gauguin, Toulouse-Lautrec, and Van Gogh.

Not an Impressionist fan? The Art Center is also featuring an exhibit demonstrating the Loess Hills, a multimedia installation of handmade paper circles, and a showing of painted Persian tiles. Or you can wander around Sioux City's Historic Fourth Street area.

Ready to go? Great! Lincolnites should congregate at the Aardvark Antique Mall parking lot at 9:30 a.m. (The Aardvark Mall is directly south of the 56th and I-80 exit. From Cornhusker Highway, turn left on the 77 exit, go towards I-80. Just before you reach the on-ramp, you'll see a sign for Arbor Road and antiques, on the right. The Aardvark Antique Mall is about a block east and opens at 9 a.m. for anyone who gets there early!) We'll continue up Highway 77 to Fremont, and then east on Hwy 31 to Blair, where we'll meet our Omaha members at about 11 a.m. at Carpetbagger's, a triangular building four blocks south of the intersection of Hwy 31 and Hwy 75.

From Blair, we'll take Highway 75 north, along the river, to Sioux City, a trip of about 2 hours. Admission to the Art Center is free, although the Impressionist exhibit has a $3.00 ³suggested donation² fee. We'll try to park at the site, but if that doesn't work, ample parking in a lot is available not far away.

Once the lure of fine art has worn thin, we can head to the Belle of Sioux City Riverboat Casino for food and a chance to part with our own dollars (but maybe return with someone else's!) and then head back to Lincoln or Omaha about 7 or 8 p.m.

Please let Bob Shaw (435-4905) or me (466-3481 or 464-3733) know if you're interested!

Kids: On Love & Marriage

How do you decide who to marry?

You got to find somebody who likes the same stuff. Like, if you like sports, she should like it that you like sports, and she should keep the chips and dip coming.
- Alan, age 10

No person really decides before they grow up who they're going to marry. God decides it all way before, and you get to find out later who you're stuck with.
- Kirsten, age 10

What is the right age to get married?

Twenty-three is the best age because you know the person FOREVER by then.
- Camille, age 10

No age is good to get married at. You got to be a fool to get married.
-Freddie, age 6
