Summertime at the Bell Tower...Something for Everyone!
We have all been staring at the insides of our homes for over a year...it’s time to enjoy the outdoors and have some fun at the same time!
Our new program for this summer is “Courtyard Art”. It will be held on Thursdays from 9:30 to 11:30 in our front garden. This is in conjunction with the Florence Farmers Market which is held in the park just a half of a block away. Each week will feature a different art or craft, dancing, exercise, storytelling, or musical introduction, etc. Adult classes will take place in June and September while family classes [ages 5 to 100] will happen in July and August. The cost is $5 per person and all supplies are included. You may purchase a punch-card for 6 classes for $25. A full list of classes is available at the Bell Tower along with sign-up sheets. Sign-ups will also be taken at the Farmer’s Market. Some classes have limited space, so sign up now.
Our second mosaic tile mural on the cement bridges [200 block of East 2nd] will begin in June. If you wish to participate as an artist or as a sponsor, we would love to have you. Sponsor a space on top for $20. We will be working from 8 to 10:30 am before it gets too hot. Call Peg if you would like to help. 429-9579
On July 24th, The Bell Tower will be hosting a free event. A traveling performance group from Colorado Springs will be performing “A Midsummer’s Night Dream” in our courtyard.
