SUMMARY:Colonial Fashions III: "Housewife" Sewing Kit Class
DESCRIPTION:Join us in this beginner-friendly sewing class as we make historically-inspired sewing kits. All materials will be provided to make a 3-pocket “housewife\,” complete with wooden string bobbins\, a needle keeper\, and button closure. \nHistorically\, hand-sewing was a skill of necessity. In the mid-18th century\, everyone knew how to do basic mending and repairs. Most people carried emergency tools and materials in what was known as a “housewife\,” or “hussif.” These sewing kits varied immensely\, from a highly decorated version a woman might keep in her tie-in pocket\, to the simple and sturdy soldier’s kit that became general issue during the Civil War\, with many variations in between. “Housewives” remained popular well into the 20th century. \nBasic sewing knowledge will be helpful\, but no hand-sewing will be required. Two sewing machines will be available to share; feel free to bring your own. For experienced sewists wanting a more historically-accurate look\, hand-sewing guidance will be provided. Vintage-looking snips of the perfect size will be available for purchase for $5.

SUMMARY:Community Square Dance
DESCRIPTION:Event: \nCommunity square dances are attended by young and old\, couples and singles\, and anyone interested in getting out\, moving\, listening to live music\, and enjoying fellowship with others in the community.  Beginners are welcome\, and all dances are taught. \nWe invite people of all backgrounds and ages to enjoy an oral tradition passed down for hundreds of years. The Hickory Music Factory’s “Old Time String Band” and a dance caller will lead you throughout the evening. We will primarily draw upon the traditional social dances of America. \nJourney into the past and learn square dances\, step dances\, reels\, and other dance forms practiced in Southern Appalachia. These distinctive folk dances are the culmination of the many heritages that settled in this region. Folk dancing today is built on the European\, African American\, and Native American traditions of our past\, but they are very much alive in the present. \nYou can help bring them to life by attending this inter-generational dance. Children must be accompanied by an adult. All ages are welcome\, and no experience is necessary.
