On Saturday, October 19th, the class will paint “Busy Stream,” and on Sunday, October 20th: “Blue Poppy”. Class will run from 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. with an hour-long lunch break each day. Join T.R. and Sandy as they reveal how fun and simple it is to paint using the Bob Ross method. They learned from the happy tree guy himself, and their tag-team approach to teaching creates a relaxing and light-hearted atmosphere. Sandy usually plays the “straight man” to T.R.’s slapstick humor, helping to keep students engaged and entertained. All painting supplies are provided, and no previous experience is necessary. Young and old alike will enjoy the camaraderie of these classes. Students need only bring paper towels. Register by October 11th and pay $70.00 per day; after October 11th, pay $75.00 per day. Discounts are available for Patron and Sustaining Hansen Museum Members. Classes are held in the Dane G. Hansen Museum Community Room, 110 W. Main Street in Logan, Kansas.

Description: Simultaneously familiar and fresh, The Steel Wheels bring singular energy to every note they play and sparkling craft to each song. This potent combination, paired with a robust tour calendar, have made the veteran band hands-down favorites of fans and peers alike. From their base in Virginia’s Blue Ridge Mountains, The Steel Wheels have played the most prestigious festivals, listening rooms, and clubs in the world, earning a reputation as one of the top independent bands on the scene today. In keeping with their relentless growth, the quartet has become a quintet with the permanent addition of percussionist Kevin Garcia to the longtime lineup of Brian Dickel, Trent Wagler, Jay Lapp, and Eric Brubaker. While 2017s’ stunning studio album, Wild As We Came Here, was still ringing in the air, the band shone a light on their concerts with the release of two EPs of live music; Volume 1: Live at the Station Inn, and Volume 2: Live at The Jefferson Theatre. Ever ambitious and not content to let moss grow under their feet, the Wheels returned to the studio-retreat of Sam Kassirer, producer of Wild, to record their newest studio album, Over the Trees, that will be released July 12, 2019. This show at the Prairie Window Concert Series will be the new album’s Kansas release party. Submitted by: Brad Guhr Dyck Arboretum of the Plains
