In today’s Untold Story of Central Minnesota, Arts & Cultural Heritage Producer Jeff Carmack visits once again with Christine Seaborn and Jeanette Yiran about the 2nd annual Fred Yiran African Arts Day to be hosted at Lake George this Sunday, June 24^thas part of Granite City Days Family Fun Day.  

Fred Yarin was originally from Cameroon in West Africa, and spent nearly four decades in Minnesota building unique drums, encouraging community and the arts, and teaching others how to honor wisdom and creativity.  This event continues his legacy, and if the success of last year’s African Arts Day is any indication, this year’s event should be just as incredible and a perfect place to meet our African neighbors and share in their culture.

This program is funded in part by the Minnesota Arts and Cultural Heritage Legacy Grant.
