Photo exhibition inspires (July 2, 2008) – The Center will host a discussion about development of Northwest Iowa’s segment of Highway 20 at 9 a.m. Friday, July 11 in the Stanley Evans Auditorium on the Missouri Riverfront. The event is free and open to the public. Mark Monson will serve as moderator of the discussion which will include comments by Leonard Andersen, of Sioux City, and V.H. (Buck) Boekelman, of Fort Dodge, Iowa. Anderson has lived in Sioux City since 1941. He served in the Iowa Legislature for 13 years during the 1960s and ‘70s. Boekelman taught in the Fort Dodge schools for 30 years. He has promoted Northwest Iowa Highway 20 four-lane completion for a number of years. Monson is a member of the Woodbury County Board of Supervisors and president of Missouri River Historical Development, Inc. (MRHD), the non-profit organization that built and operates the Center. The discussion will be followed by a Highway 20 Association’s meeting, conducted by chairperson Shirley Phillips. The event was inspired by the Center’s recently installed photo exhibit, “Highway 20: Encounters with Genuine Life.” The exhibit comprises 66 photographs of life along Northwest Iowa and Nebraska Highway 20. It was shot by award-winning photographer Matt Miller; edited by Don Doll, S.J., and Carol McCabe, of Magis Productions at Creighton University. The Betty Strong Encounter Center is a private, non-profit institution connected to the Sioux City Lewis & Clark Interpretive Center on the Missouri Riverfront, exit 149 off I-29. It was built and is sustained by Missouri River Historical Development, Inc. (MRHD). For more information, visit www.siouxcitylcic.com or call 712-224-5242.
