What’s Happening

FORT FREDERICA - DIG IT!

Fort Frederica with the Southeast Archeological Center, Friends of Fort Frederica, and Golden Isles Archaeology Society will be hosting archeological excavations within the Town of Frederica from May 29 through June 6. Fort Frederica is inviting members of the public to come to the park and assist the archeologists during the excavations between the hours of 9:00 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. daily. This is the first large scale archeological work to occur at Fort Frederica since 1978 when Dr. Nicholas Honerkamp completed work in the South Ward area. Volunteers will be integral in assisting the archeologists with digging, screening, mapping, and washing artifacts. Your help will expand our knowledge of Fort Frederica and St. Simons Island. This is an incredible opportunity to learn about real archeology and scientific process from real archeologists. Those interested in volunteering, please contact Michael Siebert at Michael_seibert@nps.gov or call 912.638.3639x104 for more information.

COME PLAY WITH THE CLAY

It’s time to sign up for Handmade for the Hungry pottery classes with Debbie Craig at Glynn Visual Arts. The hand-built bowls made in these classes are donated to be sold at the Empty Bowl fundraiser for America’s Second Harvest, our local food bank. Last year’s event raised enough money to provide more than 9,000 meals for the hungry in Glynn County. Pottery class dates are July 10, 24 & 31, August 14 & 28, September 11 & 18. All classes will be held from 6:00-7:30 p.m. and cost $25. You can reserve your spot online at glynnvisualarts.org, and don’t forget to put the October 16 Empty Bowl Fundraiser on your calendar too. Enjoy a soup dinner in your favorite bowl and take it home after. See how wonderfully creative our community is!
