"I'm so ready for spring." How many times have you
heard someone say that recently? I've said it many times
myself• The last week has given us all some hope that nice
weather is really just around the corner. We've been
going outside without shivering and the best sign of
spring.•.r0bins, are che.cking out my lawn in hopes of
finding a nice big juicy worm.. I think they still have a
little time to wait but it's getting closer.
At the mill, we've been working on several projects and
activities. During March, we had the first performance of
A1 Grund's original play "The Portal."A small but appre-
ciative audience enjoyed it very much and the actors of
Brush Creek Readers Theater are honing their skills and
getting better with each performance. ! hope you will
keep this in mind as the mill offers more of these types of
cultural programs. One of the goals of Brush Creek Mill is
to offer different and special entertainment at a low cost
for the community at large.
The next program being offered during April is an en-
core performance of "Two Soldiers, Reflections on the
War Between the States." This is a condensed version of
the four part event from last summer. Many people were
only able to attend one or two of these sessions and this
April offering will give them an opportunity to view the
entire, though shorter, program.
A1Grund, who wrote the songs and script, will open the
program at 4:30 pro. At 5:30, we will break for a pizza
supper and a social hour. This gives the audience an
opportunity to speak with the musician/composer and
ask any questions they may have. At 6:30, the program
will resume for approximately anadditional hour. Those
who attended last summer's Civil War Program gave
glowing reports so be sure you don't miss out on this.
There will be a charge of $8 at the door which includes the
supper of pizza, coffee or soft drinks and dessert. The
mill will be open all day on Saturday, April 13, so come
early and browse the gift shop for many new items and
stay for this entertaining and educational program. You
will be happy you did.
Soon we will be sending out our membership applica-
tions. We have many members of Brush Creek Mill in
Montmorency County and far beyond. Their support is
the reason we are able to be open year round and offer
,the types of programs I have reported on. The mill also
offers areas for hobby groups, such as quilters', spinners
and knitters', scrapbooking and card making, free of
charge. We also provide areas for children's groups, such
as 4-H and Girl Scouts, all without charge. The many
benefits the mill offers this community are too many to
list here but next week, I will devote the article to a more
inclusive report.
Brush Creek Mill is entirely self supporting, we do not
receive any tax dollars. Brush Creek Mill is also, entirely
volunteer staffed. Everyone here is a volunteer and they
give of their time and their talents without expecting
anything in remm except your support of this organiza-
tion, an organization which is unique for a small north-
eru community.
