You can make a big impact on the community this holiday season by volunteering to ring a bell at a Salvation Army red kettle at Publix and Winn Dixie locations across Jacksonville. Funds raised through the kettles stay local and help those in the most need with food, shelter, clothing, and emotional/spiritual support. Contact Kettle Coordinator Kathy DeSiena at (904) 301-4852, [email protected], or text JaxKettle to 41444 to sign up.

We will learn about Timucuan culture, focusing on ways that local prehistoric people used fire to meet their daily needs. A hands-on experiment provides a bang as we use balloons (and water balloons!) to explore how prehistoric people could cook prior to the advent of pottery.  For school-age kids and teens.

The difference between a tool and a weapon is a matter of intent. While this can be difficult to ascribe archaeologically, humans have used tools as weapons for hundreds of thousands of years. This presentation looks at the tool kits of prehistoric Timucuans and focuses on the atl-atl as the weapon of choice. Hands-on atl-atl demonstration available depending on time and outdoor space requirements.  For teens and adults.

After touring all the new Art (Re)Public murals in Downtown Jacksonville, stop by the park to see local artists painting free-standing mural walls in Hemming Park. Enjoy music, food trucks, drinks and more.
