Subzero Nitrogen is back!
By demonstrating how liquid nitrogen can be used to freeze fresh ingredients into fresh ice cream, we keep the children amused and give them a lesson on the properties of liquid nitrogen, gas laws, and the application of science to food. SubZero Nitrogen staff from Nashua, NH will be our teachers. Each registrant will receive ice cream at the end of the program. They bring a non-dairy option for those who may need it. Everything they bring is nut, gluten and egg free. They bring chocolate, vanilla and bubble gum options. People get to choose which flavor they want!
The science behind this event is for youth in kindergarten and up and their parents or grandparents. Because this is a 'family' event, we ask that adults come accompanied by a child in kindergarten through high school.
Register to join us on Wednesday, February 28th at 6:00 PM. This delicious event is sponsored by our generous Friends of the Kimball Library.
ROBERT FROST ON THE FARM: NEW HAMPSHIRE FARMING IN 1900: Robert Frost’s poetry can help us appreciate the rigor of life on a New England farm in the early 20th century. In an exploration of both New Hampshire history and Frost’s poetry, author and poet Jeffrey Zygmont recites a selection of Frost’s poems about farming. He provides background on Frost’s life, offering insight into the poem’s origins, and commentary on the work’s artistic beauty, as well as the experiences and emotions it expresses. Participants will join a lively discussion celebrating Robert Frost’s unique gift for capturing farm life in poetry.
Jeffrey Zygmont is a New Hampshire writer and poet who has published numerous fiction, non-fiction, poetry, short stories, and children’s books. As a journalist, he has published articles in a long list of magazines and newspapers. He speaks regularly about poetry and art – especially to promote the works of poets Edgar Allan Poe and Robert Frost at venues around New England.
This event takes place on Thursday, February 29th at 6:00 PM and is made possible by a grant from New Hampshire Humanities, sponsored by the Atkinson Historical Society and hosted by the Kimball Library.
