Photos From Painting Party With Gallery On The Go

Stephanie Leonard (a trained Gallery Guide with Gallery On The Go), brought out the inner Picasso in those who attended the painting party at the library Saturday (3/29).  Participants followed Stephanie’s step-by-step instructions, to create their own unique versions of a “Whimsy Tree”.  The paintings were created with acrylic paint and painted on canvas.  It was fun to see the paintings progress and to see how different each one was when they were finished!

Photos From Crane Trust Nature & Visitor Center Tour

Did you know that during the fall, sandhill cranes are hunted in all states and provinces along their migration route except Nebraska?  Or that fossil beds in several parts of Nebraska contain the remains of prehistoric cranes from 10 million years ago?  The library organized a group to visit the Crane Trust Nature & Visitor Center (near Alda) on Sunday (3/24).  We listened to a presentation and participated in the Footbridge Evening Tour.  We definitely learned some things that we didn’t already know about sandhill cranes.  In spite of the chilly weather, we had a very enjoyable and educational experience!
Thank-you so much to everyone that participated in the trip with us! Thank-you to Crane Trust Nature & Visitor Center for giving us the tour!  Also, a special thank-you to Chuck Griffith (from the Merrick Foundation) for driving us in the mini-bus! 🙂
