Join Ms. Michelle for a ZUMBA party on Friday night, May 12th,
at 5:00pm.
Zumba®Kids classes feature kid-friendly routines based on
original Zumba® choreography. Learn easy steps, play games, and explore
language and cultural elements exposed in the music. Hear songs you know such
as 'Get Back Up Again” from Trolls as well as songs that feature languages and
rhythms from around the world.
ZUMBA helps develop a healthy lifestyle and incorporates
fitness as a natural part of children's lives by making fitness fun.
Please wear comfortable clothing that is easy to move in and
bring water to drink. Be prepared to move a lot and get a great workout! This event is for ages 4-14, but parents of
youth in the class are welcome to move along with us.
HIKING: This
year will be the 250th Anniversary of Atkinson and so we thought it was fitting
to celebrate what is on our own conservation land. Join us as Kevin Martin,
author of Big Trees of New Hampshire, takes us on a hiking adventure to the Big
Ash Tree on the Sawyer Conservation land in Atkinson. Assisting Kevin on the walk will be Pete
McVay, who is a member of Atkinson’s Conservation Commission, a NH Audubon
volunteer, and a graduate of UNH’s ‘COVERTS” Volunteer Wildlife Program.
We will meet up at Sawyer Conservation land on Saturday, May 6th,
at 10:00 AM. The access point to the
trailhead is off of Sawyer Avenue, just off Main Street. The gated fire lane by the dog walk trail
will be open that day to accommodate cars and there is some limited parking on
Sawyer Avenue as well. We also encourage folks to car pool.
Registration is required.
We don’t want to start hiking without you, so please let us know that you
plan to attend. *We love our furry
friends but we ask that you do not bring your dog the day of the hike. Thank
you!
This program is sponsored by the Friends of the Kimball
Library and the Atkinson Recreation Commission.
We also thank the Atkinson Conservation Commission for assisting with
this program.
NEW ENGLAND LIGHTHOUSES (ATKINSON HISTORICAL
SOCIETY): Everyone knows that there is
'something about lighthouses' that gives them broad appeal, but their vital
role in our history and culture is little appreciated. Our early nation was
built on maritime economy, and lighthouses were an essential part of the
system. Due to automation, traditional lighthouse keeping is a way of life that
has faded into the past. Jeremy D'Entremont tells the history of New England's
historic and picturesque lighthouses primarily focusing on the colorful and
dramatic stories of lighthouse keepers and their families.
About the presenter: Jeremy
D'Entremont has written more than a dozen books and 300 articles on lighthouse
history and other maritime topics. He is the official historian of the American
Lighthouse Foundation and the founder of Friends of Portsmouth Harbor
Lighthouses. D'Entremont has lectured and narrated cruises from Maine to
California, and his photographs have appeared in many books and magazines. He
is also the Editor of the website 'New England Lighthouses: A Virtual Guide' at
www.newenglandlighthouses.net. He emphasizes the rich human history of
lighthouse keepers and their families in his presentations.
Free and open to the public, this
program is possible through the New Hampshire Humanities. Join us on May 11th at 6:30pm.
