Story Time: Dune Dragons
2019-08-14 11:00 - 11:45 (America/Detroit) | Cottage Book Shop, 5989 Lake St, Glen Arbor, MI, 49636, United States
Author Gretchen Rose will join us for Story Time at Cottage Book Shop in Glen Arbor on Wednesday, Aug. 14th at 11am featuring her book “Dune Dragons.”

In search of a new land–some place where they may be free of man’s violence and wars–a colony of dragons sets out on a great journey across a vast ocean. The dragons settle in what is known today as Northern Michigan, and they are delighted with their new home. Dune warrens provide the perfect shelter for their long winter naps, and there are plenty of delicious fruits and nuts to eat. In the spring, the frozen lake thaws, and great sheets of ice pile up on shore, creating iridescent towers for younglings Chryllis and Jilly to play upon. During the lazy days of summer, the two best friends compete in games with the woodland animals or dune-slide into the turquoise lake, while Dra teens soar overhead on upward drafts. In the fall, when the trees are ablaze, there are cherry-pit-spitting contests, and popcorn popping with dragon breath. But when a ragtag band of humans comes ashore to establish a settlement, the idyllic life of the Dune Dragons is threatened. (Ages 6 and up)

Yarn Bomb Installation Day
2019-09-15 09:30 | Glen Arbor Arts Center, 6031 S. Lake Street, Glen Arbor, MI, 49636
Sunday, September 15 | 9:30 am
Yarn bombs are set to drop on the Glen Arbor Arts Center on Sunday, September 15, 9:30 am. Volunteers are needed to help install hand-knit “bombs” on trees in the GAAC’s backyard grove as part of the upcoming exhibition “Fiber Without Borders,” a juried exhibition of contemporary fiber art. Yarn bombing is friendly community event, and a form of temporary street art. Yarn in any form (knit, crochet, latch hook, cross stitch, amigurumi or simple wrapping) adorns an object [e.g. tree trunk or limbs, poles, waste can] in the public environment. While other forms of graffiti may be decorative, socio-political commentary, or vandalism, yarn bombing was initially almost exclusively about reclaiming and personalizing sterile or cold public places. The start of this movement has been attributed to Houston resident Magda Sayeg, who says she first got the idea in 2005 when she covered the door handle of her boutique with a custom-made cozy.
Volunteers of any age are invited to help with the yarn bomb installation. To volunteer, call the GAAC, 231/334-6112. “Fiber Without Borders” runs September 13 – November 7. For more information go to
GlenArborArt.org. The GAAC is located at 6031 S. Lake St., Glen Arbor.
