A Brief History of Time Keeping

Join historian Andrew Kercher as he discusses the calendar's eternal struggle and why we leap! He will cover questions such as why do we have a leap day every 4 years? Why are there 60 seconds in a minute and not 100...or seven days in a week? Why is February so short? Will we ever be done springing forward and falling back? Get the low down about something we deal with every day: time! Have you always wanted to write, but don't know where to start? Maybe you once considered yourself a writer, but life's busyness has stifled your creativity....No matter your experience with the writing craft, a group of other likeminded wordsmiths may be just the community needed to provide you with motivation, accountability, and feedback. We'll do some writing using prompts, share our creations (if comfortable), and encourage each other to keep putting pen to paper. Introduce your little one to the sounds and rhythms of language through short poems, stories, and music. Then stay for play! For children ages 0-3 and their caregivers. The Sanderson Sisters are back, and they've cast a spell that threatens to turn the library into a permanent realm of darkness.

To reserve a 30 min time slot please call the Capac Library. The room is available 12-4:30PM 10/19 to 10/22.

The collective began in Pine Grove Park in Port Huron with two, then three, and then four guys playing on Saturdays in the park. Soon they moved on to performing at a growing number of venues throughout the Blue Water Area. They play 50's to 90's Classic Rock, Country, Folk, Blues, and Gospel. All accompaniment is live with acoustic and electric guitars, banjo, bass, harmonica, percussion, and a variety of other instruments. This program will take place at the Don Dodge Auditorium located at 200 Grand River Ave, Port Huron, MI.
