Mount Horeb Comes Together For Ukraine Benefit
2022-04-03 14:00 - 17:00 | District #1 Old Schoolhouse, 110 N 2nd St., Mt. Horeb, WI, 53572, United States
4/3/22
Ukraine Benefit Flyer
More than two million Ukrainians to date have been displaced because of the brutal invasion by Russia. Millions more are suffering great danger and deprivation in a war zone. Humanitarian aid is needed on every front.
The local Southwest Wisconsin Area Progressives organization and the Farley Center for Peace, Justice and Sustainability will be hosting a benefit concert to raise funds for humanitarian relief for Ukraine on April 3, at the historic old schoolhouse, featuring Intemperance Collective, a band that plays folk-dance and Eastern European music. The Sunday afternoon concert will begin at 2 p.m. The Schoolhouse is located at 110 North Second Street, in downtown Mount Horeb.
The band delights audiences with soulful vocals and a wealth of musical styles. A bevy of traditional Baltic instruments will be heard at the concert, as well as traditional instruments such as the accordion, trumpet, and cello. Eastern European instruments, including the Tamboura, gadulka, and tupan will ring out through the schoolhouse. The joyous music will delight attendees and share the spirit of the region, and donations will help to stem the humanitarian crisis.
Suggested donation for the event is $15. Of course, additional donations for the cause are most welcome. ALL proceeds from this event will benefit both Americares and Doctors Without Borders, two accredited humanitarian organizations working for Ukrainian relief. The event will have many surprises, and a special raffle with prizes from local businesses. We want to offer a safe and comfortable concert experience for everyone, so proof of COVID vaccination or a negative test will be required to attend.

This year we made it closer to the parking area so it is a shorter walk up the trail.

Please dress for outdoor weather. Wear good boots or bring your snowshoes.
Please social distance and wear masks if you feel more comfortable. We do require that all volunteers be vaccinated for the safety of all our volunteers and staff.

Farley Center Book Discussion: "The Land Remembers" by Ben Logan
2021-11-13 11:00 - 12:30 | Farley Center for Peace, Justice & Sustainability, 2299 Spring Rose Rd., Verona, WI, United States
Farley Center Book Discussion on The Land Remembers by Ben Logan
11:00-12:30
This beloved American memoir is about a farm and its people, recollections of a boyhood in Wisconsin’s driftless region in the 1920s and ’30s. Ben Logan grew up on Seldom Seen Farm with his three brothers, father, mother, and hired hand Lyle—”the fifth Logan boy.” The boys discussed and argued and joked over the events around their farm, marked the seasons by the demands of the land, tested each other and themselves, and grew up learning timeless lessons.
Author, Ben Logan (1920–2014) grew up in southwestern Wisconsin, traveled as a merchant seaman, and worked many years in New York as a novelist, lecturer, and writer/producer of films and television. He returned in the 1980s to Seldom Seen Farm. The farm is now privately owned but has been preserved as a farm forever through a land trust with the Mississippi Valley Conservancy.
Please feel free to bring snacks to share. We plan on having the discussion outside if weather permits If not, then we will hold the discussion in the Center on the lower level conference room. Attendees will be required to wear masks inside.
Facilitator: Catherine Young
http://www.catherineyoungwriter.com/
Come join Catherine Young for a discussion of Ben Logan’s The Land Remembers outdoors at the Farley Center in Verona, Wisconsin
Saturday, November 13th 11AM-12:30PM
We’ll explore why his writing is so powerful and how art can help us cherish land.
If you do not know The Land Remembers come out of love for land and out of curiosity for this fine Wisconsin writer’s work.
Catherine Young is a performing artist and writer whose life is devoted to protecting water. Trained in fluvial geomorphology, Catherine worked as a national park ranger, naturalist, educator, farmer, and mother before completing her MFA in creative writing in British Columbia. Her prose and poetry is published internationally and nationally, including in The Driftless Reader.
Rooted in farm life, Catherine lives with her family in Wisconsin’s Driftless bioregion. Her podcasts and writings can be found at:

Farley Center Book Discussion: "40 days with Jerry Apps by Jeff Wild"
2021-10-16 11:00 - 12:30 | Farley Center for Peace, Justice & Sustainability, 2299 Spring Rose Rd., Verona, WI, United States
Farley Center Book Discussion on 40 Days with Jerry Apps by Jeff Wild
11:00-12:30
Forty Days with Jerry Apps by Jeff Wild. The author is a retired Lutheran pastor who has read and long admired the books by Jerry Apps for the engaging stories they tell and the insights they provide about rural life in Wisconsin.
Jeff Wild has read Jerry’s books more than once and recognizes something in them which lend themselves to reflection and meditation. With Jerry’s permission, Wild has taken excerpts from the books and uses them to explore in 40 short chapters the meanings, both overt and hidden, that are contained within each excerpt. From gardening to being good stewards of the planet, the themes of Jerry’s books ring true in Wild’s meditations.
This is a book you will turn to again and again.

So, What’s a Hoot?

Websters defines *Hootenanny as “an informal gathering with folk music and sometimes dancing”. There will be plenty of that at the Farley Center on October 10.
A decade ago, at the beginning of the crackdown on protests at the Wisconsin Capitol, people gathered daily at noon to sing songs of solidarity. Now known as the Solidarity Singalong for nine years years, (the longest running protest of its kind in recorded history). Solidarity Singalong musicians who played instruments would gather to accompany the singers, calling themselves The Learning Curve, and many of them would stay after the scheduled sing, and play folk songs. Some were gospel, some were Americana, and all were fun to sing in harmony. Hoot N’ Annie continues to adopt new songs, new stylings and acquire new fans.
Hoot ‘n Annie is made up of 5 friends that play in several bands in and around Madison. Daithi “the fiddler” Wolfe on fiddle is in too many bands to mention them all, but you may know him from The Currach Irish Trio and Yid Vicious. Prentice Berge on guitar (Prentice is a Mt. Horeb native, graduating from Mount Horeb High School in 1981, before going on to St. Olaf College where he majored in music) and he also plays in County Hwy PD with Daithi, and often gigs with the Mad City Jug Band. Michael Bausch is on guitar and harmonica and also plays in the Wright Combination. Cindy Murphy is the multi-instrumentalist of the group, playing cello, mandolin, banjo and tenor guitar. Yes, her house looks like a magical music store full of rare and beautiful instruments. Our newest member, Tim ‘the librarian” Haub who has been playing with us regularly since 2014, officially became a member of Hoot ‘n Annie String Band in the summer of 2019.
*According to Pete Seeger he first heard the word hootenanny in Seattle, Washington in the late 1930s. It was used by Hugh DeLacy’s New Deal political club to describe their monthly music fund raisers. After some debate the club voted in hootenanny, which narrowly beat out wingding. Seeger, Woody Guthrie and other members of the Almanac Singers later used the word in New York City to describe their weekly rent parties, which featured many notable folksingers of the time. In a 1962 interview in Time, Joan Baez made the analogy that a hootenanny is to folk singing what a jam session is to jazz.
