Event Details
Bunnies on Belgrade is back! It may look a little different this year but it’s back in full swing and just as much fun! This year participants may purchase a “Bunnies on Belgrade Box” for $50. Each box is filled with treasures from businesses on Belgrade Avenue plus other local vendors and has a minimum value of $50. Also included in each Bunnies on Belgrade Box is your numbered egg – your ticket into the grand prize drawing.
Bunnies on Belgrade Boxes are available until April 9, 2021, by contacting Jennifer Echevarria (see contact below). Due to Minnesota guidelines, this is a cash/check transaction only. Participants are welcome to purchase as many boxes as desired. Only 300 boxes will be sold.
Your Bunnies on Belgrade Box will be available for pickup at our “Drive Through Pickup” on Saturday, March 27, from 3-5 pm at the Center for Scouting located at 810 Madison Avenue in Mankato. You will also be able to purchase and pick up boxes on March 24-26, 2021, at the Circle Inn on Belgrade Avenue in North Mankato.
Once you receive your Bunnies on Belgrade Box, open it and enjoy your treasures. Find your numbered egg and keep it near. Place this important egg in a safe and protected place in your home. Just don’t lose it as it could be worth $1,000!
On Saturday, April 10, 2021, find your egg and join on Facebook Live at 5 pm, for the grand prize drawings; $1,000 CASH or a Big Screen TV.
New for 2021
Bunnies on Belgrade will be hosting a “12 Day Scout Law Scavenger Hunt”. Each day, beginning Sunday, March 28, 2021, a clue will be released that focuses on one point of the Scout Law and will lead people to a particular local business. The first person to decipher the clue and arrive at the correct business will win the prize basket of the day. This scavenger hunt is open to the public at no cost. Clues will be delivered via Facebook.
However, for those of you who purchase a Bunnies on Belgrade Box, you will receive exclusive early access to the day’s clue several hours before it is released to the public. It’s just another way you can win by participating in Bunnies on Belgrade!
For questions or to reserve your Bunnies on Belgrade Box, please contact Jennifer Echevarria at 507-387-3123 or jennifer.echevarria@scouting.org.

Event Details
On view at the Hillstrom Museum of Art from February 15 through April 18, 2021, is From These Hands: Fiber Art and Poetry by Gwen Westerman, featuring the work of Dakota scholar, artist, and poet Gwen Westerman.
The artist, a faculty member in the English department at Minnesota State University, Mankato, has collaborated with the Museum in the past, when she served as co-curator and artistic contributor to the Museum’s 2012-2013 exhibition Hena Uŋkiksuyapi: In Commemoration of the Dakota Mass Execution of 1862. That exhibit was occasioned by the 150th anniversary of the largest mass execution in U.S. history, in which 38 Dakota were hanged in Mankato on December 26, 1862, following the end of the U.S.-Dakota War.
This current exhibit, From These Hands, includes important loans from The Minnesota Historical Society in St. Paul and The Heritage Center at Red Cloud Indian School in Pine Ridge, South Dakota. It is accompanied by a fully-illustrated brochure, which will be available at the Museum and in pdf form on the Hillstrom Museum of Art website. A video walk-through tour of the exhibit will also be available on the Museum website.
NOTE: due to the COVID-19 pandemic, there will be no opening reception for From These Hands, and hours at the Museum may be restricted. As of the opening of the exhibit, the general public is generally not allowed on the campus of Gustavus Adolphus College. Those from the general public wishing to visit the exhibits must email hillstrom@gustavus.edu to seek an appointment as an invited guest of the College (note that this process typically will take at least two days). For more information, including updates to Museum hours and visitation, please see the Museum website.
