The Sugar Land Heritage Foundation and the Sugar Land Cultural Arts Foundation have brought the Chautauqua movement back to Sugar Land. The Chautauqua Institute sponsored adult-education presentations traveling multiple, national circuits beginning in the 19th century and ending about the time of WW II.
Leon Anhaiser inaugurated the new series of local talks on November 13th with his presentation entitled, "Sugar: The Essential Building Block of Sugar Land." More talks at the Auditorium are scheduled over the coming months. They are free to the public and will be presented at the Auditorium. More about them in the future.

I videoed the session which included presentations on
- the Cultural Arts Foundation by its Executive Director, Amanda Rackliff
- the Chautauqua movement by Bruce Kelly
- the Heritage Foundation by its Executive Director, Bill Benson
- and of course, Leon's featured presentation on sugar.
Unfortunately, technical difficulties lowered the color fidelity of the video, but I added still photos to supplement the video and improve 'watchability.'
