Likewise, on November 8th, we will be decorating vegetables at 4pm for Create & Express crafts. Yep, it sounds silly, but painting and decorating gourds and pumpkins is lots of fun. Create a unique design on your pumpkin or gourd or give your veggie a goofy expression. The library will provide the veggies, but you are welcome to bring your own small gourd or pumpkin if you prefer. This project is suited for children in grades 1-5 and registration is required.
On
Wednesday, November 7th, we’ll be honoring our veterans with a
special night entitled “A Few Seconds with Our Fathers: Songs and Stories of
WWII” from 6:30-8pm. Songwriter Curt
Besette and Jenn Kurtz are presenting a program honoring WWII veterans and
their generation through stories and Curt's original songs. The songs are
about Pearl Harbor, the war in Europe, veterans returning home with emotional
and physical wounds, life on the Home Front....and the historical facts
surrounding these songs and stories. Several of the songs are about
Curt's father, who was a WWII veteran, and a son's awareness that his father, like
so many veterans, never said a word about his war experiences. Also
included are popular war-era songs representing a generation's hope for the
future.
Curt
Bessette has performed throughout the USA. He has recorded 4 CDs of his
original songs, is a musical instructor in Portsmouth, NH, and teaches
songwriting in Adult Ed programs in Maine and New Hampshire.
Jenn
Kurtz is a respected harmony singer who performs in numerous venues throughout
New England. She has an extensive Social Services background working with
members of the WWII generation.
This
duo has performed at the library in the past and always draws a nice crowd, so
don’t wait for the last minute to come down even though registration is not
required. This event is sponsored by the
Friends of the Kimball Library. Refreshments
will be served.
Mark
the date for Saturday, November 10th, from 11am-2pm. This is the
