Heritage Museum sponsors an event for kids
As part of the museum’s ongoing exhibit about Vashon’s Native American heritage, the Heritage Museum is offering a free event called Children’s Day at the Museum.
Vashon’s storyteller Lauretta Hyde will open the morning’s activities with the tale “A Foolish Girl.”
After the story, students will be divided into small groups to circulate through other activities which include cording with fibers such as cattail and cedar, native children’s games, a hands-on visit to the museum exhibits and a DIY experience making a canoe using native designs. A snack that Native youngsters might have had will be provided.
This free event is geared for children in grades 1 to 5. It begins at 9 a.m. and runs until noon on Saturday at the Heritage Museum.
Register by calling the museum at 463-7808, and leave the names and ages of attendees.
Music at Snapdragon moves inside
Joe Panzetta, a Vashon based multi-instrumentalist, composer and singer will perform at the Hastings Cone Gallery next to Snapdragon from 7 to 9 p.m. Saturday.
Panzetta plays original songs on guitar, banjo and harmonium and sings melodic ballads with a signature percussive guitar style. His repertoire includes covers by Nick Drake, Ray LaMontagne, The Water Boys and Van Morrison. Panzetta has been performing plus recording and producing CDs since the late 80s.
Joining Panzetta will be friends Allison Shirk, Rick Vanselow, Steve Meyer, Dianne Krouse, Annie Roberts and others.
Band will play classic bluegrass and country
The band High and Lonesome will play at 8:30 p.m. Friday at the Red Bike.
High and Lonesome was formed in 1985 and played all the bluegrass festivals throughout the Northwest until it broke up four years later. But by 1993 the group reunited and were hired to play three shows at the very first Wintergrass Bluegrass Festival that year. Earla Harding, founding member of the festival, recently said that High and Lonesome was one of the greatest local bluegrass bands ever.
After another hiatus, High and Lonesome performed at the Darrington Bluegrass Festival the past two summers, 24 years after the group’s last performance there.
Islanders Tab Tabscott on dobro/pedal steel guitar and vocals and John Schubert on guitar and vocals will be joined by Pete Martin on mandolin/fiddle, Al Hutteball on bass and Rich Jones on banjo/guitar and vocals.
