Hands-On days in 2013:
May 25 - Autograph Books – a wonderful way to remember your good ol’ school chums – always say something nice! Before kids had
MySpace, FaceBook, Texting and Tweeting, they made permanent memories by having their friends write in an autograph book -
you can’t save a “tweet” like you can save a sweetly written message!
June 22 - Sock Puppets – sometimes on a rainy summer day, the play’s the thing! People have been putting socks on their hands and
“making believe” for as long as socks have been invented - come and get creative! Make your own puppets and put on a show,
just like grandma and grandpa used to do!
June 29/30 - See us at the Arts Festival for traditional rubbings! Find out how to take home an impression.
July 27 - See us at Solarfest for traditional flower presses! A lovely way to remember summer days gone by.
August 24 - Throw away those electronic games and find the simple pleasure in making a cornhusk doll or weaving.
