Demonstration Day at Winter Haven Library

Polk County Fiber Guild's Demo Day

At Winter Haven Library

October 18

9 am until 2 pm

We will be setting up at the Winter Haven Public Library from 9am to 2pm and doing Demonstrations for the kids and adults who want to stop by.

At the kids table, there will be stations for spool knitting and cardboard weaving... each child will get a kit to work with and will get to leave with that kit, so that they can create at their homes as well.

Even if all you do is stay for 30 minutes, we would love to have you there... each person creates differently, so this is the perfect opportunity to share with the public that you can create many different ways :)

Setup will be around 8:30am and breakdown will be at 2pm

A Day in the Park 2014 at Lake Myrtle Park

Read and Explore at Colt Creek State Park

The Friends of Colt Creek State Park will combine ecology and education Sept. 7 in the fledgling group's second major event since organizing earlier this year.

The event will be from 1 to 4 p.m. in the pavilion by Mack Lake at Colt Creek State Park in the Green Swamp north of Lakeland.

The event is being organized in cooperation with the Polk Education Foundation, READ Polk and AmeriCorps Polk Reads.

The occasion is celebrating International Literacy Day, which has been observed annually since 1967,

International Literacy Day, normally celebrated worldwide Sept. 8, was started by UNESCO to promote worldwide literacy.

In the spirit of the observance, anyone who displays a library card or brings a new or gently used book to donate will be admitted to the park for free.

Normal admission is $4 per vehicle.

Visitors also can bring a book to trade.

Although this event is open to all ages, many of the activities will be geared to children to encourage them to read and write.

Events will include nature writing, bookmark making and butterfly painting.

A number of children's authors are scheduled to attend to showcase their works by reading excerpts and autographing copies of their books.

They will include Robin C. Fox and Carol White Fox, Nancy Anderson Judge, Nicole Ford, April M. Whitt, Theresa Kowalski, Jennifer Alden and Ricky and Melanie Hoover.
