He said, 'It's great to be able to show here. I've been aware of this space for a few years. What's a big draw for me is that it's in Sioux City, which is so close to the Ho-Chunk Nation. So it's a chance for my relatives to come and see the show.'
Slick's exhibit will be on display at the art center from now through October 12.

Tales N' Trails Museum wraps up another successful History Mystery Day Camp
NOCONA (KFDX/KJTL) — It's been a week of hands-on history in Nocona, where kids at History Mystery day camp wrapped up their final day of fun and learning. From goat milking to ancient hunting tools, this camp brought the past to life in some unforgettable ways. Over the past week, kids ages 5-12 explored everything from farming and ranching to Native American survival tools. They milked goats, tasted goat's milk, planted flowers and even crafted their own pottery. One of the biggest highlights was learning how to throw an atlatl, an ancient tool Native American hunters used to hurl spears. Camp leader, Melanie Howington, said the purpose of the camp is to help bridge the gap between past knowledge and the way things are today and make it fun. 'Their toys are all electronics; they're all touch keypad. They don't understand slingshots and Slinkys. Up at Wichita Falls museum, Leanne brought us Slinkys and told us the history of Slinkys and they got to do that and play jacks. I want them to see how things evolve and how it's different now from back to when it was', said Howington. No matter the age, the focus remained the same, making the past feel real and showing how history still connects to their everyday lives. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
