Free Admission for Mothers
on Sunday, May 11, 2014
Historical & Cultural Society of Clay County at the Hjemkomst Center, Moorhead, Minn.
Celebrate Mother’s Day with HCSCC on Sunday May 11, 2014. All mothers will receive free admission into the museum at the Hjemkomst Center and all the exhibits we have to offer.
From the home front to the front lines of combat, Americans did their part to help win World War II, and Clay County was no exception. Doing Our Part: Clay County in WWII tells the stories of the men, women, and children of Clay County who were affected by the war and how it changed the fabric of everyday life. Families sending loved ones off to war, scrap drives and rationed food became part of daily life from 1942 to 1945.
Experience the extraordinary footage and unforgettable stories of strength and survival of the “Minnesota Disasters” exhibit. This exhibit is on temporary loan from the Minnesota History Center in St. Paul and will be traveling to venues throughout Minnesota. Supplemented with photos and texts about Clay County’s disasters, the exhibit closes May 26, 2014.
FMVA BIG Art Show displays a wide variety of art (2D and 3D) from both emerging and established artists. Each artwork is accompanied by a statement from the artist involving their individual inspiration in creating the work and the technique involved in making it, helping the viewers to develop their own understanding of the artwork and the creative process involved. All participants need to be members of FMVA and can submit one work for the show.
Museum Hours: Sunday Noon to 5 p.m. Monday-Saturday 9.a.m. – 5 p.m.
Admission: Adults $8, Seniors $7, College Students $7, Youth (5 – 17) $6, Children (4 & under) Free, HCSCC Members Free

Eventide Celebrates Completed Renovations
Eventide on Eighth is celebrating the completion of interior renovations of its senior living campus in south Moorhead. A ribbon-cut and open house was held on Tuesday, May 6th.
Eventide has furthered its commitment to the Moorhead community with substantial updates to its physical structure at Eventide on Eighth. Over the past two years the completion of the Haugo Wellness Center, modifications to resident rooms and extensive changes in the common areas have resulted in additional capital investments of nearly $3,000,000.
These physical improvements as well as significant operational quality initiatives have been completed as part of Eventide’s continued commitment to provide first class aging services to seniors in the greater Moorhead area today and for many years to come.
Eventide Senior Living Communities is a mission-based, non-profit senior healthcare system based in Moorhead, MN. Eventide serves over 800 residents daily at its four locations in Moorhead, West Fargo, and Jamestown. Construction is underway on a new location in southwest Fargo to open in summer 2015.
