Summer Family Fun Fridays, "Creepy, Crawly Fun!"

WHEN
Friday, July 23, 2010
11:00AM - 1:30PM
WHERE
Outdoor Concert Stage (Automobile Museum if raining), Parade Field


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.

Friday, July 23
Performer: Toe Jam Puppet Band
11am – 12pm on the Outdoor Concert Stage
The “Toe Jam Bug Show” features songs and stories about creatures you’ll find in your yard, garden and sometimes in your house! Dance along to songs about ants, bees, spiders, worms and a mouse that lives in Tom’s house! You’ll be served a tasty treat from the Swamp Restaurant where you can count the bugs dancin’ in your soup. Toe Jam has ants in their pants and flies on their ties...they love bugs, but they’re not sure why, they just do!

Project: Flower Arrangements
12 – 1:30pm at the Parade Field
Using flowers from all over Heritage, fill your vase to create an artistic arrangement for the bugs and you to enjoy! Then get a bug tattoo, play giant games, get your face painted and find the mystery museum object.
Passport Mystery Hint: Find Pooh, but not the bear.
