The Gering Civic Plaza Sculpture Project Committee – Crystal Sandberg, Rita Stinner and Gretchen Peters, – installed a Littleton Alston sculpture of Nebraska author Willa Cather in Gering to celebrate the 250th Anniversary of American Independence and 50th Anniversary of Nebraska’s Interstate-80 sculptures.

This free event helps celebrate the statue’s installation.

Read Cather’s My Antonia and meet for interactive discussion with fellow readers. Ashley Olson will present her talk “My Antonia: The Story of an American Novel”. She will lead discussion and field questions. Scottsbluff and Gering Libraries have copies of My Antonia on hand for check out.
