Archeology Day is just around the corner and we are working feverishly to make sure it is the most fun event of the year! This week I had some dedicated volunteers come to “work day” to help with the preparation for the hands-on stations. We are going to have a few new stations this year that will be exciting for the whole family- Caddo Trade Fair, Archeology Matters, a mock pottery dig and so much more!
One of my favorite hands-on activities for this event is making a Native American rattle. It is fun and easy, just my type of project. There are 3 easy steps to making this cool musical instrument. 1.) Take a nature walk or even out to your own backyard and find a good and sturdy y-shaped stick. 2.) Tie a piece of raffia or twine around one arm of the “y”. Thread a few beads onto the yarn. Tie the other end of the yarn to the other end of the stick. 3.) Make some magical music!
If this sounds great to you, come join us on March 26th from 10am to 3pm at Berry Springs Park and Preserve at 1801 County Road 152 in Georgetown. Admission is Free!
