Due to this fact, it is sometimes difficult to know when one year is over and another one begins. There are two official events that signify the beginning of Riverboat Days: the Riverboat Days Billboard Contest and the announcing of our Captain and Belle! A few weeks ago, they both took place at the same place and time. If you missed the big announcement, this year’s Captain and Belle are Randy and Joleen Smith. Both Randy and Joleen have spent hours volunteering down at the park during the festival. They both have the kind of attitude and spirit that is usually associated with Riverboat Days, enthusiastic and energetic! We are proud to have selected them as the couple who will spend their summer promoting Yankton and Riverboat Days. They will be greeters at the Yankton Area Mental Wellness Conference and • Deadpool • Finest Hours • Janis; Nonfiction Board of Directors would to extend a huge thank you to both the Optimists Club and CorTrust Bank for working so hard to make this kick-off to Riverboat Days such a wonderful event.

Vermillion Library To Host Social Artists Mom always said you could be whatever you wanted to be when you grew up. You could be a fireman or a doctor, a singer or a teacher. You could drive a big truck or ride a horse. Whatever you wanted to do, all you needed was to go to school and keep your eye on your dream. But read the new book “I Wanna Be a Great Big Dinosaur” by Heath McKenzie, and you might wanna change your mind. Once upon a time, there were all kinds of dinosaurs on earth. Huge ones. Ginormous ones, and a little boy wanted to be one of them. He wished he could be a great big dinosaur — but he didn’t exactly know how. He was certainly willing to find out, though, and who better to learn from than another dinosaur? There are a lot of things to do when you’re a dinosaur. You must open your mouth wide and ROAR!! Do it as loud as you possibly can, and then you must know how to STOMP correctly. It’s a hard thing to do, and you can’t VERMILLION — During the summer in the lead-up to the U.S. presidential elections, Gaelyn and Gustavo Aguilar, co-artistic directors of Tug Collective, will embark on a two-month expedition over the National Historic Lewis and Clark Trail, making various stops at community venues along this 11-state journey. All the while, they will make tacos with people, prompt dialogue, and invite innovative forms of engagement around the question: What is it going to take for us to truly live inter-culturally? The project — called “Who Eats at Taco Bell?” — will investigate how American attitudes, institutions and politics are changing dramatically as the U.S. finds itself on the cusp of becoming a nation with no majority demographic group. Changes like this, however, often expose underlying fears and uncertainties that can lead to tension and conflict, even as they reveal implicit assumptions and biases that have existed in the popular imagination for some time around what it means to be an American. The Aguilars hit the road — starting at the Camp Dubois confluence of Wood River and Hartford, Illinois, May 14 and ending in Seaside, Oregon July 14 — to deepen understanding and action around attitudes and ideas our country has inherited. They are working closely with national and community partners to tailor the experience to local needs, ensuring the creation of spaces that can support the new and stronger relationships across diverse cultural groups, and inviting new and TREE TRIMMING, REMOVALS & TRANSPLANTING exciting visions for the future TREES FOR SALE during this time of tremendous EVERGREEN • SHADE • ORNAMENTAL change.

Hartington Tree LLC mess up. The boy also needed to know that dinosaurs eat and eat and EAT. Meat is mostly what they want because they really don’t know any better; they’ve never tasted birthday cake or ice cream or cheese or salad. As a kid who wanted to be a dinosaur, it was his duty to tell other dinos about that stuff. But then again … the boy liked to read lots of books, and dinosaurs generally aren’t big readers. Dinosaurs don’t play soccer or Little League or any other sports, either. And because their short little arms end with claws, they have trouble with video games sometimes. That’s just not a good thing at all. So maybe being a dinosaur really wasn’t what the boy wanted. He’d miss out on a lot of things if all he could do was roar and stomp and eat. In fact, if a dino ever saw how much fun it is to be a kid, he might not want to be a dinosaur, either. So what can a kid and a dinosaur do? Plenty, as it turns out, but before you get to that point, practice your sound-effects voice. “I Wanna Be a Great Big Dinosaur!” demands that you do. It’ll be better that way anyhow, if you STOMP and ROAR as you read this perfectly silly story that author Heath McKenzie has written. The enjoyment comes, in fact, exactly because it’s not your run-of-the-mill dino book: there’s nothing scaly or scary here and no mustlearn science for smaller children who aren’t ready for it. Instead, this is a book for kids who love to pretend, and for adults who are willing to go along with it, just because it’s fun. While this is probably not the best bedtime story, “I Wanna Be a Great Big Dinosaur” would make a great big daytime read-aloud for kids ages 4-6. If they have good imaginations, even better. They’ll be delighted. Interested in this spot?
