NEW Hoping for a Home: The Orphan Trains
Between 1854 and 1930, more than 200,000 children were put on trains to
remove them from the poverty and debauchery of the city streets in the East
and place them with morally upright farm families in the Midwest, including
many in Minnesota. The children were put on display and chosen by those
willing to take them. The results were sometimes great and sometimes
horrible. Come learn about the process and the stories of the children who
went through it, hoping for a home. Kathy Simmer

NEW The Legendary Judy Garland
Judy Garland was born Frances Ethel Gumm and immediately nicknamed
"Baby." She first appeared on stage when she was 2 1/2 years old. After
performing in vaudeville with her two older sisters as the Gumm Sisters, Judy
was signed to Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer as a teenager. From 1937 to 1950, she
was the reigning "queen of the musicals," appearing in more musicals than
any other actress. Throughout her 40-year career as an actress in musical
and dramatic roles as a recording artist and on the concert stage she was
respected for her versatility. Fred Astaire called her "the greatest entertainer
who ever lived." This is a closer look at the life and times of the legendary
Judy Garland. Full Bloom, Inc.
