Mad Science Magnetic Magic Workshop

Tilton Library 71 North Main Street, South Deerfield, MA, United States

Registration Required, Space Limited Children learn how and why magnets behave by testing the basic physical principles governing magnetism.  They learn how to create magnets and how magnetism is lost. Children use compasses to gain a better understanding of how humans benefit from the Earth’s magnetic force.  Hands-on experimenting-from swinging compasses to motorized devices- allows children to explore the role of magnetism in our everyday lives. Tilton Backyard, will be moved inside for rain. Call or email the library to register. Sponsored by the Friends of Tilton Library.

Hey Hey Club Big Band Concert

In the 1930’s and 40’s America swung to the sounds of the big bands; Duke Ellington and Count Basie. Tunes like “Do Nothin Till You Hear From Me,” “Caravan,” and “Take the A-Train.” And no place was more swingin than the Hey Hey Club in Kansas City. America also loved music from the American Songbook: Paul McCartney’s favorite composer, Cole Porter’s “I’ve Got You Under My Skin,” or Harold Arlen’s “If I Only Had a Brain, “ from the Wiz of Oz. Aptly named,  the 7 piece Hey Hey Club swings that music for your pleasure. We invite you to join us on June 25th, 2pm, at the Tilton Library stage. This program funded by the Deerfield Cultural Council.
