Meander
Event
Florence created the
poetry and framework for the Meander event on September 30 in
Granite Falls. Darwin Dyce, Peter L. Johnson and Andrew
McCormick provided musical accompaniment as she read her poetry and
the ceremony took place on the Walking Bridge across the Minnesota
River.
"The River Arts Meander Kick-Off event brought together a diversity
of individuals and expressions that were lifted up by an immaculate
day amongst a beautiful setting. The throngs who made the trip
downtown traveling from nearby, the next town, and even out of
state were treated to music, art, food and other activities, Many
also took the opportunity to get a sneak peak at the K.K. Berge
building’s brand new floors and river view. Tying together
the day was the river walk celebration that incorporated an array
of community member backgrounds, talents and the poetry of Florence
Dacey to symbolize the bridging of diversity and recognition of
unity."
