Over $500 in cash prizes will be awarded to the winners of the final talent competitions.
Inspired by shows such as “America’s Got Talent,” the Brown Grand has decided to promote the talent of North Central Kansas and the surrounding area. There will be two divisions: Division I will showcase youth from 6 to 16 years of age, while Division II is for adults 17 and older. Individuals and groups will be considered for any type of appropriate talent for a family-oriented audience.
The theatre will provide the same general lighting for all acts, up to six microphones and a sound system which can play electronic files from a USB drive. A Brown Grand technician will run the equipment. A grand piano and monitor will also be available. All other equipment must be provided by contestants. Acts which contain fire or are dangerous to audience members will not be allowed.
Criteria for selecting the acts will be based on stage presence and professionalism, technical ability, appearance/costume, creativity, appropriateness for audience and overall performance/difficulty of the act. Three judges will select the acts for the final show.
The final performance will be Saturday, March 8th – Division I will begin at 3pm and Division II will begin at 5pm. Admission to attend the final performances is $15 per person for one of the two Divisions or $25 per person for both Divisions. Tickets will be available at the door.

Two Lights for Tomorrow
2025-04-18 | Kansas
“Listen, my children, and you shall hear
Of the midnight ride of Paul Revere,
On the eighteenth of April, in Seventy-Five:
Hardly a man is now alive
Who remembers that famous day and year.”

Henry Wadsworth Longfellow wrote these words around 1860 describing the night of Paul Revere’s ride. Paul Revere was dispatched from Lexington to Boston to find how the British were coming. You will recall that one lantern placed in the bell tower of Boston’s Christ Church (also known as the Old North Church) meant they were coming by land, and two meant by sea.

In honor of America250, the Concordia DAR is asking everyone to place two lanterns (or other lights) in their windows or on their porches the night of Friday, April 18th.

Cook Series: Native American Artist Monte Yellow Bird (Black Pinto)
2025-04-24 19:00 (America/Chicago) | Cloud County Community College, 2221 Campus Dr., Concordia, Kansas
Monte Yellow Bird Sr., a Native American artist, will present “If You’re Going To Shine, Shine Brightly,” at Cloud County Community College’s Cook Series on Thursday, April 24. The event will be at 7:00 p. m. at the college’s Cook Theatre on the Concordia campus. All Cook Series events are free and open to the public.
Monte Yellow Bird, Sr. signs his work with the name he was given through ceremony, Black Pinto Horse. He is devoted to a positive expression of the harmonic balance between humanity and nature. He is the son of Willard (Wolf Trail) Yellow Bird, a descendant of Bears Teeth & Iron Bear and Magdalen (Corn Tassel) Youngbird/Yellow Bird a descendant of Strikes Enemy & Sitting Bear.
While in high school, his math teacher recognized his artistic talent, introducing him to the renowned Institute of American Indian Arts of Santa Fe, New Mexico. As a 16-year-old that had never left the reservation, he credits this experience as life-changing saying, “It evoked a pride of my culture & a new self-identity.”
Years later, Yellow Bird furthered his art & history studies at North Dakota State University in Fargo, majoring in History Education with an Art minor. In 2002, he earned a BFA from Minot State University in North Dakota.
Since 2004 he has owned and operated his fine arts and educational company, Black Pinto Horse Fine Arts. Yellow Bird is represented by galleries, museums, and educational institutions both nationally and internationally. He attends prestigious Indian Art Markets such as Santa Fe Indian Market, the Heard, and Eiteljorg Museums, and has collectors worldwide, such as art in the permanent collection of the Volkenkunde Museum of Leiden Netherlands and the Nelson- Atkins Museum in Kansas City. Through his art and teaching, he offers us a multitude of gifts, and his optimism shines in his motto: “We are on this earth for such a short time, if we are going to shine, shine brightly.
This year marks the 32nd anniversary of the Charles and Marian Cook Series at Cloud County Community College. The Cooks were travelers who wanted to bring the world to those who could not travel themselves. More than 80 events have been presented through the sponsorship of the Cook Foundation and the Division of Humanities, Social Sciences and Business at Cloud. It was always Marian Cook’s wishes that all Cook Series events be free and open to the public.
For more information, contact Brenton Phillips, dean of Humanities, Social Sciences and Business at Cloud, at 785.243.1435, ext. 244, or by email at bphillips@cloud.edu.
