PODCAST -  Pryce Gette Silent Auction & Benefit Dinner

Post News Director sat down with North Platte native and Doane University Professor Eric Stearns about his opening reception going on tonight at the Prairie Art Center of his latest ceramic work in a show titled Ra•ku.&nbsp;&nbsp;

NORTH PLATTE - Eric Stearns returns to North Platte and tonight at the Prairie Art Center is his opening reception of his latest ceramic work titled Ra•ku. The event goes from 5:30pm - 7:30pm at the PAC and you can chat with Stearns at the event. Check out the latest pieces of art Stearns has done.&nbsp;

Raku is a method of quickly firing ceramic artwork. Eric removes the pieces from the kiln at 1450° F, when they're still red hot. The art is given about a minute or two to cool before placing it in a metal container with a few sheets of newspaper. The paper ignites and smokes then the container is closed.&nbsp;

The reduction atmosphere affects the glaze colors, and the smoke turns unglazed parts of the clay black. The drastic thermal shock also produces cracking in the glaze —known as crazing since it is deliberate. The piece is removed from the container once cool and cleaned up to remove residual soot and ash, revealing the brilliant glazes.&nbsp;&nbsp;

To learn more about Stearns and what Ra•ku is, check out the post above. If you would like to see some of his Ra•ku pieces, <a href="https://northplattepost.com/posts/81c6ced3-b642-4802-bc24-6db40d971d30">click here.</a>

(Audio) First United Methodist Church Trunk Or Treat

Post News Director Canon Rath talked with Amy Sabatka and Jackie Curtis about the upcoming play Steel Magnolias in early November. Sabatka and Curtis are actresses in the play.&nbsp;

NORTH PLATTE - The North Platte Community Playhouse in conjunction with the North Platte Community College Theatre Department will present "Steel Magnolias" on Nov. 10th-12th and Nov. 17th-19th at the Fox Theatre in North Platte. Showtimes are 7:30pm on Friday's and Saturday's while Sunday's will be 2pm.&nbsp;

The show "Steel Magnolias" is a comedy-drama about a group of Southern women who bond over life's triumphs and tragedies. The play premiered off Broadway in 1987 and was subsequently adapted into a movie starring Sally Field, Julia Roberts, Dolly Parton, Shirley MacLaine, Olympia Dukakis, and Darly Hannah in 1989. The North Platte rendition will focus on the Broadway adaptation, not the movie.&nbsp;&nbsp;

The unique twist the North Platte rendition is that the play has a double cast which means there are two actors for every role. Cast members will only perform in 3 out of the 6 shows, bringing a different perspective to every show.&nbsp;&nbsp;

For ticket prices, adults are $18 in advance or $20 at the door. High school students with a school ID can get tickets for $10 in advance, or $12 at the door. Lastly MPCC students, staff, and faculty just need to show their ID to get into the show for free.&nbsp;

Tickets will go on sale a week before the performance.

Post News Director chatted with Brenda Hansen and Mardel Manary who are with the North Platte Opportunity Center. The trio chatted about the sensory that the NPOC has and also the Sara Rickertsen Special Needs Grant that the NPOC received.&nbsp;

NORTH PLATTE - The North Platte Opportunity Center serves individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities and is dedicated to making an impact on these individual lives. The NPOC also helps individuals with their community living, and with jobs and so much more.&nbsp;

The NPOC also has a sensory side to help with individuals who struggle with sensory overload. "Sensory overload can be volume, it could be too many people, it can be a lot of different ways but it's a place for them to come decompress and unwind," said Brenda Hansen. "It's a very calming environment." Hansen has been working with the sensory side at the NPOC for almost 10 years.&nbsp;

The NPOC was recently granted the Sara Rickertsen Special Needs Grant from the Lexington Community Foundation. "We are very excited that the Lexington Community Foundation granted us the Sara Rickertsen Special Needs Grant and we are going to use that as part of our program over at the sensory side and we are getting some speech generated devices," said Mardel Manary. "We have&nbsp; 7 individuals who are nonverbal so it will help them communicate."&nbsp;

NORTH PLATTE - 4-H is America's largest youth development program across the United States that helps learn skills that will last a lifetime. The age requirement for 4-H is the ages of 8-18.

One is the fashion revue.&nbsp;

The 4-H Fashion Revue is how a person can present himself/herself through clothing, grooming, facial expression and body movement is a form of communication. The goal is to help develop an understanding of personal presentation in public situations with regard to clothing, accessories and grooming. Sewing is an area that can be tough for many at first. "I did tie-dye in the beginning because I really didn't know how to sew and progressively you get more skills in sewing," said 4-H'er McKenna Lundvall.&nbsp;

Post News Director Canon Rath chatted with Mid-Plains United Way Executive Director Haven Smith and Anegla Hipp, the Mentoring Coordinator at Community Connections. Smith recaps the FNBO Chili Cook-Off and gives us a more in-depth looking into Mid-Plains United Way. Hipp talks about the mentoring program at the Community Connections&nbsp;

NORTH PLATTE - The Mid-Plains United Way kicked off their 2023-2024 campaign with the 28th Annual FNBO Chili Cook-Off. For this year's event, over 240 people attended and almost $4,000 was raised. The event this year raised $500 more than last year.&nbsp;&nbsp;

Mid-Plains United Way supports 11 non-profits and serves in a 16-county region. "The non-profits provide services and programs that improve education and health and finical stability for people in need," said Mid-Plains United Way Executive Director Haven Smith.&nbsp;

One of these organizations that is supported by the Mid-Plains United Way is Community Connections of Lincoln County. Community Connections is a non-profit that matches youths with mentors. Many of the youths will be matched up with mentors that have very similar skill sets.&nbsp;

Teammates is another program that matches youth with mentors. However, Community Connections has a slightly different approach than Teammates. "Well just that, you know (Teammates) school based, there meeting at the school at a set time each week. There are kids who need maybe some mentoring outside of the school," said Mentoring Coordinator Angela Hipp. "We think the relationship can really flourish when they are able to go do that."&nbsp;

Ogallala Rotary hosting Haunted House weekends in October

Post News Director Canon Rath caught up with Ashley Lewis from the Connection Homeless Shelter for their monthly conversation. This time, the two talked about the Out of the Box Challenge the Connection Homeless Shelter is hosting.&nbsp;

NORTH PLATTE - The Connection Homeless Shelter is hosting a fundraiser event called the Out of the Box Challenge. The shelter wants to invite local businesses, emergency personnel services, or just anyone who wants to form a team and take part in the challenge. The Connection Shelter would like to have business show off their boxes from November 13th-16th which is Hunger/Homeless Awareness Month. The final day of the event is November 16th at Brigham's Taproom where the teams can show off their box and have members vote for who has the best box. There is a registration fee of $200 per team.&nbsp;

The idea of the challenge is to grab a box and build a house out of it. The fundraiser event is to help raise money for the homeless shelter. There are dimension rules on the box which have to be 4x4x4. If you would like to learn more about the event, check out the podcast above. &nbsp;
