Armchair Traveler - Food Around the World
-
Join us in the Great room at 4pm for a wonderful armchair traveler presentation, Food around the World, focusing on France. Ansley Roberts will be talking about her recent travels abroad where she spent six months in France. If there is one theme prevalent throughout that entire country it would be the great food. She spent a semester abroad in Paris, France studying European history and culture at Institut Catholique de Paris. During her semester in Paris she was able to taste all France had to offer from Normandy to Nice. In her Armchair Traveler presentation, Ansley will discuss all the delectable delights France has to offer.
After the presentation stick around to enjoy some cheeses, breads, and desserts in French style.

FENCE is delighted to present a unique afternoon of music provided by duo bassoonists Karen Molnar and Rosalind Buda. Join us in the Great Room
The bassoon is a woodwind instrument that is seldom heard in a solo or chamber setting, but has a beautiful and extensive repertoire. Bassoonists Karen and Rosalind seek to introduce you to this charming, sonorous instrument in an afternoon of music that will take you on a journey around the world. Solo and duo pieces by French, German, Brazilian, and American composers will be featured on the program. Karen and Rosalind also delight in sharing tidbits and tales about their instrument, and will share these throughout the program. Be sure to stick around after the performance to mingle and snack on light refreshments.
This event has been made possible by the Kirby Endowment at the Polk County Community Foundation.

Free Family Concert - Blue Haze

Like the haze on the mountains after a spring rain, wood smoke from a mountain cabin or the deep glow of sunlight through ice crystals on the mountain hemlocks,” Blue Haze” will wrap you in an emotional blanket of song. Jim Walker (Mandolin/Vocals), Phil Jenkins (Banjo/ Vocals), Lance Smith (Guitar/ vocals) Robert Hall (Bass/vocals) deliver renditions of contemporary and traditional bluegrass that will bring images of mountain life to mind.
