What's New

The Art Camp held last week at the Community Center was even

bigger than last year. A total of 35 children participated from Eagle,

Palmyra, Unadilla, and Syracuse. It's always amazing how they

interpret things so differently, and so wonderful to have the

building used in a learning experience again. This year's program

was entitled "Print Rehab". It included making bowls from recycled

magazines, wreaths, building a print block from cardboard, cereal

boxes, balsa wood, and other found materials, sculptures from old

paperback books, and designing monograms (every artist should

sign their work, right?). Sarah Martin returned as artist leader

assisted by Amanda Davis, and some helpful and eager helpers.

As part of the final day program, Jenni Brant, from the Kimmel

Nelson Center for the Arts in Nebraska City spoke to the

campers about different kinds of art and showed them

her creations.

Thanks to Otoe County Partners and People United For Families

for hosting this camp. Keep your fingers crossed that it will happen

again next year!

A reminder that the burn pit facility is only for trees and tree

trimmings, or raw lumber. NO furniture, leaves, yard waste,

painted lumber, dry wall, or bags of garbage allowed. Please

dispose of these items properly. If the state finds these items at

the burn pit we would be in violation of our permit and the site

would be shut down. That would be a big loss to the town as well

as the residents. If you're not sure - please call the

Village Office at 828-5355.
