SUMMARY:The Kings County Museum Summer of Crafts
DESCRIPTION:We are excited to share a variety of artistic projects for your child to enjoy\, including numerous\nsensory-based crafts and activities. This 3-day program takes place on three consecutive\nWednesday afternoons from 1pm – 3pm: on July 27th\, August 3rd\, and August 10th\n.\nEach date has unique crafts and activities planned\, so your child can either attend a\nspecific activity that they are interested in\, or they can attend all three. Our guided activities\nmake it easy to follow instructions so kids can spend their time on the fun stuff. If your child\nprefers to work independently\, or if your child would like a little extra help\, we are happy to\naccommodate their needs.\nTo participate in a single session\, the sign-up and participation fee is $5.00 per child. To\nparticipate in all three sessions\, the sign-up and participation fee is $10.00. \nWednesday\, August 3rd\, 1pm – 3pm: Session 2\nSounds of Nature: Rain Sticks\nThis activity is a fun and creative way to make your own musical instrument. A rain stick is a bit like a shaker\, except when tilted\, it can sound just like rain falling! Traditional rain sticks not only make soothing sounds\, but they are also decorated beautifully. This workshop is all about exploring sound and art\, and to customize both the visual and auditory aspects of the craft. \n\nYou Better Ball-ieve it: Stress Balls \nA fast and easy – but super fun – sensory-based activity is our stress ball craft. These stress balls are as fun to make as they are to play with\, but they can also help with concentration. There will be two options for the “stuffing” material\, as well as various customization options to make each stress ball unique. \n  \n  \nhttps://drive.google.com/file/d/1kIAAPPivtC1Slp7mTYfd5Zap2FOQxiOq/view?usp=sharing

SUMMARY:En Plein Air
DESCRIPTION:And that’s wrap! If you haven’t yet seen the Brush With Nature exhibition\, time is running out. \nThe paint isn’t even dry on a few of the paintings\, and we are sad to say the show is drawing to a close on Aug. 31. \nEveryone here at the Kings County Museum is thrilled with this beautiful exhibition that is a celebration of the everyday wonders in Kings County. The exhibit is also a testament to the vision and talent of the artists who participated in the challenge earlier this month. \nThe works are diverse—oil\, acrylic\, watercolour and pen and ink– and rediscover the picturesque nooks and crannies of Kings County. As our first en plein air festival\, Brush With Nature (and the Kings County Museum)\, draws to a close\, we are proud to say that both experienced and upcoming artists were recognized with awards this year. \nCongratulations to our winners\nSponsor’s Choice Short Brush- Anne Wedler \nSponsor’s Choice Long Brush- Edward Wedler \nPeople’s Choice- Long Brush- Mary Ann Archibald \nPeople’s Choice Short Brush- Jesse Gadon \nArtist Choice Long Brush- Cleah Bunting \nArtist Choice Short Brush- tie- Lisa Harrington \n                                                           Mark McCrone \nSpecial thanks to our judges Holly Carr (in the Sponsor’s Choice category) and Alan Bateman (in Artist’s Choice long brush) for helping us to make the tough decisions. Also\, big thanks to the folks at Tides Contemporary Gallery for all your assistance in arranging the wonderful exhibition. \nAnd more big thanks to the tireless and dedicated support of Anne and Edward Wedler; and Plein Air Artists Annapolis County\, we would not have done this without your enthusiasm. \nThanks to our sponsors:\nAndrew Parrott\, Eastpoint Financial \nThe Town of Kentville \nBenjamin Bridge Winery \nPaddy’s Pub \nRD Chisholm’s

We will be making Rock Pets\, which\ncould be anything from your child’s favourite animal to something made entirely\nfrom their imagination. If they would like to make more than one\, that is entirely\nfine too! Once we’ve completed painting\, each crafter gets to fill out an “adoption\ncertificate” for their new pets. \nFan-tastic Fruits: Fruit Slice Fans\nFor any fast crafters\, we have a secondary activity to keep them busy and having fun. We’ll be making fans from paper plates and popsicle sticks\, designing them to look just like a slice of watermelon\, orange\, apple\, or any kind of fruit they like best! Not only do these fans look cool\, but they’ll keep you cool during the hot summer. \nhttps://drive.google.com/file/d/1kIAAPPivtC1Slp7mTYfd5Zap2FOQxiOq/view?usp=sharing \n

SUMMARY:Abraham Gesner the Lure of the Rocks and a Burning Ambition--  book launch
DESCRIPTION:The debt and bad management that drove Abraham Gesner off his farm in Chipman Corner in 1825\, became a stroke of luck and innovation. After leaving Kings County\, he spent two years doing medical courses in London hospitals.  In the great metropolis\, he encountered the industrial revolution.  Attending various lectures and demonstrations\, he got his first whiff of the rapidly developing new sciences of chemistry\, geology and natural history.  When he later returned to Nova Scotia\, he imitated procedures which he had observed while abroad and experimented with “cracking” coal to generate the tars\, oils and gases which fueled the industrial revolution.  In the process\, he produced “kerosene” – an illuminating gas and an oil – which revolutionized artificial lighting and generated much industry.  \n Author and retired professor\, Elizabeth Haigh shares highlights from her book. Until 2006\, she taught History of Science at St. Mary’s University\, and was an adjunct professor of history at Dalhousie University in Halifax.
