Summer Family Fun Fridays, "Mother Nature"
Friday, July 16, 2010
11:00AM - 1:30PM
Begin your visit by setting out your blankets or chairs on a spot on the lawn to enjoy interactive family entertainment on the Outdoor Concert Stage. These hour-long performances have something to please everyone in the family, including puppet shows, dancing, comedy, storytelling, music and, in most cases, a mix of everything! After the performance, head over to the Parade Field to complete a craft or garden project. These hands-on projects allow your family to bring something special home to remember your visit to Heritage. While you’re there, get a temporary tattoo and play with giant games! Don’t forget to pick up a Family Treasure Hunt Passport at the Ticket Office, where you will be guided to a different museum ‘treasure’ each Friday and, after discovering this treasure, receive a stamp in your passport. Summer Family Fun Fridays are FREE with museum admission, registration is not required, and in case of inclement weather, all performances and activities will move indoors.

Performer: Green Apple Kids
11am – 12pm on the Outdoor Concert Stage
Wow, a super-duper group that plays cool songs for kids about nature! The Green Apple Kids Band writes songs that cultivate a reverence for the environment featuring a mix of energetic and thought-provoking tunes for the young and the young at heart. The Green Apple Kids' story is set in the imaginary world of the Green Apple Orchard and features special puppet guests Ty the Woodsman and Willa the Worm, two eco-buddies who care for the green apple trees and keep a watchful eye on its ecosystem. Formed with a mission to inspire kids to celebrate and care for our Earth, the band performs their eco-flavored songs about nature, animals and recycling in a fun, engaging and highly interactive presentation.
Project: Pot a Sunflower
12 – 1:30pm at the Parade Field
Flowers are not only good for the environment, but also put a smile on anyone’s face! Pot a sunflower to take home and watch it grow closer and closer to the sun. Then get a tattoo, play giant games, get your face painted and find the mystery museum object.
Passport Mystery Hint: Put your nose to the grindstone.
