Summer isn’t over yet! Enjoy some sweet treats, learn traditional Appalachian dances, and enjoy classic summer activities on the Burnsville Town Square this Saturday from 10 am to 2 pm at the Sizzlin’ Summer Series.
From 10 am to 12 pm, come learn from THRIVE Appalachia’s teen teachers how to make delicious homemade pie and ice cream. Plus play a handmade game of cornhole using boards they made by hand in their carpentry and fine art painting groups and bags made in their sewing classes!
Plus put on your dancing shoes and join Appalachian Performing Arts on the Town Square for the Sizzlin’ Summer community square dance! Get ready to learn some traditional southern Appalachian figures and clogging steps. Grab a partner, bring your family and friends, or come solo. You will also have the opportunity to join RHA to decorate cookies or have your face painted!
Plus the ever-popular Climbing Tower has been rescheduled for this Saturday after it was canceled due to rain on July 20th. Test your skills on the tower between 10 am and 2 pm. You can also wrap up your summer fun with a great book from the AMY Regional Library Bookmobile!
