Port Oneida Fair
Friday and Saturday, August 9 & 10, 2019

10:00 am – 4:00
The Port Oneida Fair is presented by Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore in partnership with Historic Sleeping Bear.
Every August, the Port Oneida Rural Historic District awakens from its peaceful slumber and comes alive with activity true to the period when it was a community of robust settlers.

Susan Odom of Hillside Homestead offers historic cooking demonstrations in the restored kitchen of the Olsen Farm.

Visitors take a step back in time at the two-day Port Oneida Fair to experience life as it was in the late 1800s and early 1900s.
Take the trolley, hike, bike or drive (if you must!) to the select historic sites where a variety of traditional rural crafts and activities take place. Over 100 demonstrators will be hard at work.
Children can try their hand at crosscut sawing and other farm implements. Horses mowing in the fields while artists create paintings inspired by the cultural landscape. Take in a display of antique bicycles, cameras and phonographs. Learn about basket weaving, soapmaking, buttermaking, spinning, and fur trapping. Satisfy your curiosity and walk through many of the historic farmhouses and barns that will be open for tours.
Pack a picnic lunch to eat at under a tree, or purchase food at various sites. This is an enjoyable and relaxing, yet educational family time. The event is hosted by Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore.

Story Time: Dune Dragons
2019-08-14 11:00 - 11:45 | 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)

Dune Dragons, By Gretchen Rose, Indigo River Publishing $19.95

Jeff said of his work, “My love for color, interiors, shape and form has inspired my most recent group of paintings and drawings. Finding places to rest, places to stop and breathe and daydream reflect a need in our lives to slow down to take time to gaze upon beautiful colors. I trained in painting and graphic design at Kendall College of Art & Design. My work has a certain close up and cropped look, bringing the viewer into a scene to recall a feeling or space the viewer may have experienced, like the feeling and energy of someone about to enter a room or having just been there. Working with color, light, and brush stroke, I capture a moment where one is aware of the energy or sense of being in that very moment.”
