Culture Days: Vintage
Social Media – September 27 and 28 from 10 am to 4 pm
Experience the days of radio and movie magic! In the days before
television, iPads, and texting, the family radio and the weekly movie screening
were the social media of the day. Everyone gathered around radio sets in family
homes to listen to weekly broadcasts of their favourite shows like Little
Orphan Annie. Have fun as a modern family learning how to build a radio set
transmitter, listening to authentic historic radio broadcasts, watching silent
films, and having fun with our film crew activity to learn about gaffers,
grips, sound artists, producers, and directors. If you have a future Steven
Spielberg at home, this is the event for you!
On Sunday, local producers and artisans from the
Cumberland Farmers’ Market will be selling their goods - locally grown fresh
fruit and vegetables, meats, pastries, alongside artisanal products – at their
first Harvest Market.
Cost: Free admission

Backpacks, and access to our activity room in Sally’s Kitchen are included.
