September 1 celebrate the upcoming anniversary of the birth of Anna Mary Robertson "Grandma" Moses with a piece of birthday cake and special tours of the permanent Moses Gallery and current exhibition, Grandma Moses: American Modern.

The Fall 2017 Stoneware Collector's event features Jack McMackin and Kevin Daughney as they present Frank Norton Pottery of Worcester, MA. Both have been collecting stoneware for years, so they bring their background and experience to the meeting as they discuss the various decorations of Frank Norton potteries as well as the molded pieces that they produced.

Just as visual folk artists like Grandma Moses informed and influenced modern artists, American folk music had its own impact on the future of music. Appalachian Harvest will begin the concert with traditional anonymous American fiddle tunes and progress through the introduction of bluegrass which was pioneered by Bill Monroe. The performers will then draw from the Western Swing influences of Bob Wills and the correlation of swing and Dixieland as it became incorporated into Appalachian music. The program rounds out with more modern interpretations of the genre as it became more energized through the establishment of rock and roll.

Join a family day of fun in the spirit of Grandma Moses. September 30 (October 1 rain date) Quilting activities for all ages including creating "Woodland quilt squares" on the Aiken Trail. Bring a family picnic if you wish and we will provide cider, apples, and apple pie from the "Apple Pie" contest entries. Music by the Bennington Ukulele String Ensemble from 12 noon to 1 p.m. This event is free and open to everyone.

October 6 we're digging into the toy box to share our "Amazing Toys of Long Ago."
