Event Details

Luther College invites the Decorah community to their first ever National Eating Disorder Association, Walk event. Money raised at the event funds education about eating disorders, prevention and support, as well as advocacy and research initiatives.

Check-in for the walk will begin at 9:30 a.m., with opening ceremony follow at 10 a.m. Saturday, Oct. 20, at Luther College, beginning at the parking lot by the local pool.

Participants can register online at https://nedawalk.org/decorah2018, online registration closes at 2 p.m. Friday, Oct. 19. Registration will also be open on the day of the event.

More than 30 million Americans struggle with eating disorders at some point in their lives and despite this, they receive significantly less funding than other major mental illnesses. Because of this lack of funding, NEDA Walk’s goal is to raise funds to improve the support and raise awareness about eating disorders. The NEDA Walk organization, which began in 2009, currently takes place in more than 90 cities nationwide. Each year, more than 20,000 people participate in the walk to raise money for those affected by eating disorders, to restore hope and change the conversations surrounding eating disorders.

The walk will take place on the Luther College campus, beginning at the parking lot by the pool and going through campus. Along with the walk, there will be music, yoga and photo opportunities by the Luther bell. The goal of the walk is to raise $10,000 to fund the education and prevention of eating disorders and support for those impacted by them.

A national liberal arts college with an enrollment of 2,005, Luther offers an academic curriculum that leads to the Bachelor of Arts degree in more than 60 majors and pre-professional programs. For more information about Luther visit the college’s website: http://www.luther.edu.

Luther College welcomes musical groups Beautiful Mess, Early Eyes and headliner Leftmore to the annual Rock the Commons event at 2 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 20, in Bentdahl Commons on the Luther campus.

The event is open to the public with no charge for admission. In case of rain, the event will be moved inside to Marty’s in the lowest level of Dahl Centennial Union. It is sponsored by KWLC, Luther’s radio station.

Kicking off the day of music is Luther College’s Beautiful Mess at 2 p.m. Founded in 2006, Beautiful Mess is Luther’s all-female, student-led acapella group. With 12 members, the group regularly performs on campus and around Decorah.

Opening for Leftmore is Early Eyes. Based out of Minneapolis, Minnesota, the Indie-pop band was formed in 2016. Described as “foxy, funky and an all-around good time,” the band was recognized as one of “The 2017 Best New Bands,” after performing at First Avenue, Minneapolis. Their single, “Coffee” was awarded the top music video and was nominated for the 2017 Best New Bands from City Pages, Minneapolis. In addition to their 2016 DIY EP release of “Minutes,” they’ve released follow-up EP “Decorating.”

Leftmore will take the stage at 4 p.m. Leftmore member Joe Ziegler will perform a solo/acoustic rock set. An acoustic rock band hailing from Denver, Colorado, Leftmore began touring in 2008. From fall 2009 until winter 2013, Ziegler toured as a solo act until he was reunited with former band member Matthew Shaw. Leftmore’s latest CD, “Hotel Candy (24-Hour WAR Challenge III),” was released online in January 2018. The band has released seven CDs and played more than 800 shows and recently completed their next album, slated for release in spring 2019.

A national liberal arts college with an enrollment of 2,005, Luther offers an academic curriculum that leads to the Bachelor of Arts degree in more than 60 majors and pre-professional programs. For more information about Luther visit the college’s website: http://www.luther.edu.
