You say Pierogi and We Say How Many!

Festival of Nations is Window on the World Special to The Vindicator We live in a culturally and ethnically rich communit y where it is still very common for families to engage in long standing traditions like planting a garden, canning vegetables, participating in various customs for milestones such as baptisms, birthdays, First Communions, holidays and weddings. We may not like to admit it, but we have all been disappointed at out-oftown weddings that didn’t include a cook ie table ! W ho among us can forget those potent and treasured childhood memories, especially revived with our own children or grandchildren?

The Festival of Nations at the Summer Festival of the Arts offers wonderful evidence of those traditions and of the memories most of us have, whether we are Polish, Italian, Latino, Greek, Asian or any one of the many “peoples of the Mahoning Valley!”

Because we don’t just have pierogis, don’t miss the mouthwatering Greek, Polish and Carpatho-Rusyn food as well as specialties from Cultivate: a co-op café, Café India, Just Pizzelles, Handel’s Ice Cream and Mr. King’s Nuts. Check out the displays from the Ukraine and from Sts. Peter and Paul Croatian church. There will also be ethnic performances and traditions galore.

The Children’s Hands On Art Tent offers children the chance to make a free art project or two!

Seeing Stars at the Ward Beecher Planetarium Special to The Vindictor Join the staff of the Ward Beecher Planetarium for a full schedule of shows during the Summer Festival of the Arts. Interested in the stars and planets? What about the upcoming Great American Total Solar Eclipse occurring on August 21? Learn all about this and more at the Planetarium. The show schedule is for both days.

12 p.m. STARS Every star has a story. Some are as old as time, faint and almost forgotten. Others live short lives and end in powerful explosions.

New stars are created every day, born of vast clouds of gas and dust. Through every phase of their existence, stars release the energy that powers the universe. This full dome program features the voice talent of Mark Hamill (known for his notable role in Star Wars as Luke Skywalker) and stunning immersive animation.

1 p.m. Legends of the Night Sky: Orion Accompanied by narrators Aesop the owl and Socrates the mouse, we follow Orion’s adventures as he grows to manhood, battles mythical beasts, foils the plot of an evil king and wins the heart of Artemis, the beautiful moon-goddess. By the end of the story, we learn how the constellation Orion was placed in the sky, forever turning overhead throughout the seasons 2 p.m. and 4 p.m. Totality “Totality” is a fascinating look at all the wonders of eclipses, especially total solar eclipses. An eclipse is described simply as when one celestial object blocks another from our view. This program, produced by Bays Mountain Planetarium, examines what eclipses are, how and when they occur, and what wonderful sights they create. We also look back to a fascinating period in scientific discovery when general relativity was proven with the photographic recording of a total solar eclipse.

3 p.m. Summer Skywatch The night sky changes with the seasons, and so does our Skywatch program. This LIVE traditional star talk shows the current SUMMER night sky, constellation lore, and current astronomical events.
