Birdie won the Spur Award for Best Western Juvenile Fiction in 2012.

The Tuesday Sampler: Taste of the Arts Series, presented by The Crossing Arts Alliance, is a literary and visual arts series of classes on Farmer Market Tuesdays at the Franklin Art Center.  Enjoy the Farmers Market at Franklin Arts Center parking lot, 1001 Kingwood St, Brainerd, then come inside, and improve your artistic skills with a fine selection of classes in August and September.
