In Search of Our Grandmothers
Sunday, September 12th, 10AM & 11AM
Second Sundays in 2021 will be virtual and can be viewed on the event dates on the Friends Facebook and after on our Youtube Channel. Find the links at www.ridgefieldfriends.org.
11 AM: Join the Friends and Staff of Ridgefield National Wildlife Refuge for our final Second Sunday of the year, Sunday, September 12th, at 11 AM virtually along with community Elder Judy Bridges for an intimate talk on the process of researching your own ancestry and putting it down on paper. Judy, a long-time friend of the Plankhouse, most often brings her weaving skills to share, but this time we wanted to highlight other aspects of this honored Aunty’s life.
10 AM: Start the day with us at 10 AM for family activity time, where we teach you how to make ink from an oak gall, and Trail Tips with the Fish & Wildlife Service. Family activity bags will be available to pick up ahead of time, starting Saturday, September 4th, while supplies last!
Seasons Coffee Shop at the Old Liberty Theater is located in Historic Downtown Ridgefield. Stop by to get your activity bags, and pick up a coffee, or pastries and gifts! Gifts for sale inside the coffee shop are all local artists and authors, shop and support within our area!
Family activity kits for September will include what you need for oak gall ink making! Receive everything you need for this month’s craft inside of a color-it-yourself canvas bag.
Supplies include: An oak gall and instructions, inside of a color-it-yourself canvas bag.
