Martha Keeble said, \u201cSewanee Art Works will be available this summer to host private art events & parties. Let us help you plan a creative way to entertain your family and friends. People\u00a0are also welcome to join one of our weekly group art classes or sign up for a private lesson. There is no previous art experience necessary for any of our offerings.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
How about exploring an art exhibit? Sewanee Art Works can check that box for you as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cOur painting groups are having an exhibition at Stirling\u2019s Coffee House on The University of The South campus during July,\u201d said Keeble.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Escape the heat and humidity with a great book, whether under your favorite shade tree or in the most comfortable chair at home. Find a new favorite author or genre while your children make their selections for the library\u2019s summer reading program. You can borrow books using your library card online if you\u2019d rather not leave the comfort of home to snag a current bestseller or an old classic you\u2019d like to rediscover.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Franklin County Library\u2019s summer reading program for children runs throughout June, and the adult program spans June and July. The more you read, the more chances you have to win prizes. So why not set an excellent example for literacy while enjoying some friendly competition with your children?<\/p>\n\n\n\n Katherine Pack, with the library, has a tip for encouraging outdoor play and reading.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cWalk the Trail Tale at Winchester Park and read a book at the same time. Aside from the health benefits of playing in the sun, it\u2019s fun!\u201d she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n And don\u2019t forget long-standing community events and traditions. Summer standards include fairs, festivals, cook-offs, tractor pulls, and vacation Bible schools.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Fireworks will explode over Tims Ford Lake at Twin Creeks Marina on the Fourth of July. There are many ways to view the show. The City of Winchester website suggests you reserve a table at Drafts and Watercrafts at Twin Creeks Marina, watch from Winchester City Park, or by boat on Tims Ford Lake.<\/p>\n\n\n\n So why not try something new this year, along with your favorite annual summer events, projects, and programs? For up-to-date information on these and many more, bookmark the Good News events calendar and check it often. <\/p>\n\n\n\n You never know what you\u2019ll discover in your own backyard!
