The new performing arts center at Iowa Lakes Community College in Estherville was dedicated last July, but due to the pandemic, the first live concert with an audience is scheduled Sunday, May 2.
“We are so excited to finally be able to use our new building,” said Iowa Lakes instrumental music director Carol Ayres.
The community college traditionally has one spring concert featuring instrumental and choral groups, but due to the pandemic, the first concert next Sunday will feature the jazz band and hand bell choir. The next night, the four choirs at the community college will perform in the new hall. Face masks are mandatory for both performances and social distancing in the audience will be required.

FAIRMONT Marshall Crissinger, a senior at Fairmont High School, has received $12,000 in tool and tuition assistance from Miller Sellner Fairmont.
Crissinger, son of Ken and Wanetta Crissinger, plans to attend Iowa Lakes Community College in Emmetsburg this fall for Farm Equipment and Diesel Technology.
Crissinger said he’s had an interest in the field since he was about in 7th grade.
“It started when I started helping a family friend with their farm. We started doing general maintenance on the equipment and it was something that clicked for me,” Crissinger said.
Crissinger already had an interest in one day working at Miller Sellner, which he shared with his teacher, Bob Bonin, who told him they had funds available, so he started on the application process.
