Feeling artsy in Reinbeck

Community hosts annual Reinbeck Art Festival, Show and Shine Car Show

Birdy Young of Gladbrook performs Mary Chapin Carpenter’s 1992 hit “I Feel Lucky” last Saturday morning on Main Street in front of Bill Davis Park during the Reinbeck Art Festival. The weather on Saturday was absolutely perfect for the annual community art festival and car show which garnered close to 30 local artists this year. PHOTO BY RUBY F. MCALLISTER

An impressive 54 quilts were on display this year at the United Church of Christ located on Broad Street as part of the Reinbeck Art Festival Quilt Show which was added to the festival’s offerings back in 2021. Quilts made as long ago as 1825 up to the present day were laid out with care across the sanctuary pews. PHOTO BY RUBY F. MCALLISTER

Amelia McDivitt, 5, perches on her dad Brian McDivitt’s 1972 Oldsmobile Vista Cruiser last Saturday morning during the Reinbeck Art Festival Shine and Show Car Show which was set up along Main Street east of the Broad Street intersection. Friendly Miss Amelia, who told the newspaper she was in kindergarten this year, welcomed anyone and everyone passing by to check out the spacious back seat/trunk space in her dad’s cool ride.

Flannery McAllister, 20 months, smiles last Saturday morning while seated on a bench in Bill Davis Park where she thoroughly enjoyed the last bits of a vanilla malt from The Milk House which is (sadly) now closed for the season until November. Miss Flannery was eagerly anticipating the start of Birdy Young’s Music on Main concert which kicked off shortly after 11 a.m. as part of the annual Reinbeck Art Festival. PHOTO BY RUBY F.

Carl Roeding's restored, bright orange 1957 Dodge D100 pickup featured several photos (including the two pictured circa 1986) taped to the front windshield in an effort to tell the truck's restoration story.
