LAKEPORT — Be prepared to be thrilled, scared and just have a good time as the Lake County Arts Council once again presents Children”s Art Day at Museum Park in Lakeport. Students in kindergarten through grade six are invited to create a scarecrow to display at the park from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Saturday, Oct. 25. Each participating class receives $25 from LCAC to fashion their scarecrow and each year the students become more inventive with anxious children waiting to see if they will receive 1st, 2nd or 3rd prize as on lookers cast their ballots for People”s Choice.
Youth Writes will host a poetry and prose open mic (scary or harvest themes are encouraged).
The always-popular potters Frances and Francis of Creative Clay in Kelseyville will return to give children a turn at the wheel. These skillful potters are a joy to watch as they guide children through the process of creating their very own piece of pottery to show off to their family and friends. This is fun day of interactive art and games, and Phil Mathewson and friends” rhythm and drumming skills will add to this year”s event.
Magician Phillip Martin returns to amaze the crowd with his slight of hand while chalk artists fill the sidewalks, faces are painted and everyone enjoys Halloween fun and games.
