Participants must pre-register at www.cityofalbertlea.org or Albert Lea City Arena.
3. ‘Catching Summer’
How do you fix a friendship when you kind of say things that maybe you don’t mean? In “Catching Summer,” Wisconsin native Seth Mecklenburg asks his characters to find out. The feature-length independent film, just over two hours long, features Northwood native and current Lake Mills resident Caleb Ryerson and will show at 7 p.m. Thursday through Saturday at Marion Ross Performing Arts Center in downtown Albert Lea. Admission is $10.
4. Clarks Grove Fire Department fundraiser
There will be a fundraiser benefiting the Clarks Grove Fire Department from 4 to 7 p.m. Friday at the Clarks Grove Fire Hall. There will be boneless pork chop sandwiches, sweet corn and pop available for a freewill donation.
5. ‘Unscrolled’
The Freeborn County Arts Initiative’s “Unscrolled” show is ongoing in the FCAI building through Aug. 31. The show is a 33-piece gallery exhibition dedicated to sumi-e, a style of east Asian brush painting that uses black ink — sumi — and traces back to seventh century China.
