Sunday August 13 – Open Air Delights
Picnics were a cherished, affordable pastime for families and friends. Gathering in parks or scenic rural locations, spreading out blankets and unpacking a hearty lunch was a great way to sit back and enjoy a summer day. The family craft will be both fun and practical on your next picnic. 
Sunday August 20 – Sweet and Salty
Special foods have always been an important part of summer. Many of the treats enjoyed in the past are as delightful today as they were then. This day will include demonstrations and activities to learn about some of these tasty foods. Saratoga Chips and pickle on a stick anyone?
