Library celebrates America’s Semiquincentennial
At 9 a.m., the Natrona County Library opens the Small Figures, Big Narratives exhibit in its atrium. The display marks the 250‑year anniversary of the United States and highlights both famous and lesser‑known moments of the American Revolution. Visitors can see hand‑crafted dioramas and costumed dolls, including a look at Sybil Ludington’s midnight ride alongside Paul Revere’s well‑known trek. The exhibit runs through Sept. 30.
Clay Collective welcomes all skill levels
From 10 a.m. to 1 p.m., ART 321 offers its weekly Clay Collective. For $10 for members or $15 for non‑members, participants of any ability can work with clay under the guidance of instructor Dee Lundberg. The relaxed setting encourages experimentation and community connection, making it a perfect afternoon activity for families or solo creators.
Jilly Goat Book Launch & StoryWalk
From 4 p.m. to 7:30 p.m., The Cottage Café hosts a free, family‑focused celebration of Leslie Colburn’s new children’s book, Jilly Goat. Attendees can meet a real goat provided by Ropes and Roses, stroll the Jilly Goat StoryWalk, enjoy snacks, and hear from the author and illustrator McKenna Alan. The story follows a fainting goat who learns that courage means getting back up after a fall, reinforcing a message of bravery and self‑worth for young readers.
Mixed Media Open Studio
At 6 p.m., ART 321 opens its doors for a Mixed Media Open Studio. No registration is required; artists can bring their own projects or start something new using available supplies. The free session supports creativity and community building, with a reminder that some materials, such as additional clay, may need to be purchased.
