Farm tours teach children about fresh food at the California State Fair Farm

T

he California State Fair Kaiser Permanente Farm does more than grow food; it grows knowledge and enriches the lives of area youth and even peaks the students’ interest to pursue careers in California’s number one industry: Agriculture. School tours at The Farm teach K-6th graders about California fresh produce at the 3.5 acre working farm. Schools from all over the region are welcome to tour the farm.

K-6 grade students get a unique, hands-on experience in a living classroom that shows them firsthand where their food comes from. Students will see actual crops, including a functioning greenhouse. They will participate in five learning stations: Grow itexplore seeds; See it- see what the seeds turn into; Save it- the newest methods for growing plants; Plant it- plant seeds; and Taste it- taste the foods grown on The Farm.

The CA State Fair Farm grows over 90 varieties of fruits and vegetables all year long, from cotton, kiwi, squash, eggplant, chili peppers, corn and melons to pumpkins. Nearly 4,000 students experience what it takes to plant, maintain and manage a farm during Spring/Fall Farm Tours. The California State Fair Farm is a working farm that produces tons of

produce, which is donated to the Sacramento Food Bank.

In 2017, more than 16,000 pounds of produce was donated.

The California State Fair Kaiser Permanente Farm Tours are offered for six weeks in the spring and fall. The spring farm tours at Cal Expo are Monday– Thursday starting April 9 and wrap up May 17. The fall tours will begin on Sept. 10 and will conclude Oct. 18. Schools are encouraged to book tours for both spring and fall now before all of the slots are taken.

There is a nominal fee of $7 per student for the tour. Included in the fee is a tour through the Forest Center, an area that features 40 native species of trees. Experts from the Forest Foundation allow the children to get close to nature while learning about the benefits of a healthy sustainable forest. Also during the farm tour, students can milk “Cali”, a mechanical cow donated by the California Milk Advisory Board.

Reservations are going on now at http://www.castatefair.org/farmtours/.

For more information about The California State Fair Kaiser Permanente Farm School Tours and to schedule an interview with a classroom tour, contact: Media Director, Darla Givens, 916-263-3108.

Big Bear Lake is snow much fun for families

By Carmel L. Mooney

One of California’s best places for snow much family fun is Big Bear Lake, Calif. We love it more each time we go. There’s so much to do once you arrive on “Big Bear time.”

Even though Big Bear has some of the best family skiing and snowboarding in the state, with virtually no lines, the pinnacle of our most recent trip was an 8-wheel-drive off-road adventure. It was more than spectacular to experience the back country of the San Bernardino mountains from a heavy duty off-road vehicle. Our tour with Big Bear Off-Road Adventures was nothing less than fabulous and absolutely unforgettable, taking us to breathtaking vistas and allowing us a behind-the-scenes perspective on the beauty that is so unique to Big Bear. Our guide/driver Eric was the best.

We even got to “off-road it” and explore an area where the TV show Bonanza was filmed many years ago. The abilities of the off-road vehicle allowed us to traverse thick, virgin powder and to see winter wonderland sights that were literally inaccessible to anyone else. It’s not just a ride; it’s an adventure!

Right before we went offroad, we even stopped at Maggio’s Pizza and got the best

6

“to-go” salads and calzones we could have ever dreamed of. Fresh, delicious ingredients made our lunch stand out as truly memorable.

We always truly love skiing at Big Bear. Friendliness and no stress are what make skiing at Big Bear a sheer delight. Much more than just a skiing and snowboarding destination, it has all the bases covered when it comes to an all-inclusive snowy destination that rivals Tahoe or Vail. Snow Summit and Bear Mountain visitors will appreciate the unique flavor with beautifully manicured slopes, friendly and competent instructors, and the feeling that you’ve stepped back into a sim-

pler day when a family could spend more time skiing and less time waiting to have fun. That’s a win-win with our family.

Moonridge Park is a wonderful zoo/animal park open all year so a family can really enjoy seeing animals in their natural winter environment.

It’s exhilarating to actually see a snow leopard romping in the snow or a bear family frolicking in fresh powder. The animals there are well loved and cared for. It’s truly a treat.

Try a beginner’s snowshoe tour at the Big Bear Discovery Center, or an afternoon on the Alpine Slide or tubing. The “snow much fun” options are virtually endless. Big Bear has

the corner on winter fun activities for folks of all ages.

Before you retreat back to a warm and comfy cabin, you’ll want to explore the wonderful dining in Big Bear. Again, lots of delicious and family-friendly options await after you build up a hearty Big Bear appetite.

Most restaurants are local family-run, and the friendly service and kindness is evident, making dining a pleasure. Sonora Cantina serves great food and ambiance at reasonable prices, and with good portions. It has been one of our standing favorites for years whenever we visit.

The Himalayan is the only restaurant in Big Bear to offer Indian and Nepalese food. It is outstanding. With delicious sauces, warm and delicious Naan, Tandoori entrees, and using only the freshest herbs and ingredients, this place is healthy and wonderful. We loved every bite. It’s family operated and provides great food with exotic flavors. It’s the perfect place to warm up with remarkably good and filling food after a day in the snow.

Various vacation rentals have provided us the ideal locations from which to get the most out of our delightful Big Bear Adventures. Our cabin rentals have always been clean, cozy,

well-appointed and central to all the fun. The tourism department for Big Bear can make excellent recommendations and have never once steered us wrong.

We have experienced many different cabins at Big Bear but always enjoy games, movies, telescopes, wonderfully stocked kitchens, extra blankets, spas, and even nice, rock fireplaces.

The various rentals we have enjoyed , have always felt like a home away from home. That’s so important when you travel as a family and are go, go, go with lots to do and see.

Take note that Big Bear Lake is less than two hours from Disneyland and LAX or Orange County airport. It’s very accessible for a Sacramento area family to fly in and get settled easily. We have often enjoyed combining a trip to Disneyland and then a few days to Big Bear afterward.

You’ll be hard pressed to find a place so fun, yet so relaxing and friendly for a family vacation, as Big Bear Lake.

Just keep in mind that when visiting Big Bear Lake in the winter, the mountain weather can change quickly so stay informed of chain control warnings. For road conditions, call: 1-800-427-ROAD www.bigbear.com.

CALIFORNIA KIDS! Family Fun Guide • APRIL 2018

Railroad Museum encourages interested volunteers to attend special open house on April 14 All aboard for inspiration! California State Parks, the California State Railroad Museum & Foundation and Old Sacramento State Historic Park are now recruiting adults (18 or older) who are interested in volunteering to help communicate the West’s fascinating heritage of railroading and the California Gold Rush. For those interested, a special, drop-in Volunteer Open House is scheduled for Saturday, April 14, 2018 from 1 to 3 p.m. in the Stanford Gallery located at 111 I Street in Old Sacramento (next door to the California State Railroad Museum). Volunteer applications are being accepted now through April 16 and will be followed by an interview process.

The next docent training session is scheduled to begin on May 5.

Each year, more than 500 men and women volunteer for the California State Railroad Museum’s programs – including weekend excursion train operations, track construction, restoration and maintenance, even clerical work. A background in history is not required to become a volunteer.

In fact, most of the volunteers in the popular program began with little knowledge of railroads or the Gold Rush. As individuals become more familiar with the Museum’s varied and frequent programs, many volunteers take on additional responsibilities, such as conducting research or giving talks to community organizations. New docents can choose to work in the Museum interacting with visitors from around the world, working in the railroad restoration shops on

rare and unique railroad equipment, work on the Sacramento Southern Railroad, or other jobs in this dynamic and fun environment.

Volunteering represents a serious commitment of at least 84 volunteer hours annually, but the hours are flexible and the rewards can be tremendous. Docents receive perks, such as a discount at the Museum Store, preferential and/or early access to selected special events, and the pride of working at North America’s

finest and most visited railroad museum that is also a proud Smithsonian Affiliate. Volunteer applications can be downloaded at http://www. parks.ca.gov/?page_id=25583 and completed forms can be emailed to allaboard.csrm@parks. ca.gov or mailed/delivered to the Volunteer Coordinator, California State Railroad Museum, 111 I St., Sacramento, CA 95814. For more information, please call 916-445-0269 or visit www.californiarailroad.museum.

Vintage toys inspire ‘Kit ‘n Kaboodle’, the Crocker’s new art spot for kids Art Spot: Kit ‘n Kaboodle now open at Crocker Art Museum Ask any young art lover how to explore the Crocker Art Museum, and they’ll tell you, “we see with our eyes, not with our hands”. While touching art is a no-no inside the main galleries, the Museum’s toy-inspired children’s Art Spot, Kit ‘n Kaboodle, is fair game.

Funded in part by First Five Sacramento and the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS), the Crocker’s Art Spots progam is a rotating series of experiential art installations designed for children age 5 and younger, as well as their caregivers.

Each Art Spot is created by a different artist or team that participates in the Crocker’s ongoing early childhood programming to gain a thorough understanding of children’s developmental needs and interests.

Now open in the Museum’s historic building, the Crocker’s newest Art Spot, Kit ‘n Kaboodle, was created by Sacramento artists Suzanne Adan and Michael Stevens. Married 47 years “and counting,” Adan and Stevens not only enjoy creating art together, but they also collect vintage toys and lunchboxes. As the couple worked with Museum educators to conceptualize Kit ‘n Kaboodle, their toy collection partly inspired the installation’s aesthetic.

Kit ‘n Kaboodle is layered with nostalgia, humor, and whimsy. Stevens’ folk art craftsmanship

and Adan’s engaging, texture-infused painting style form a wonder-filled environment that invites visitors to let their imaginations soar, as they explore vintage-inspired games, artful puzzles, and interactive sculptures. As young visitors explore and discover the artistic features, they can also enjoy a little peek at a mini-exhibit of some of the artists’ vintage toys and lunchboxes—an

aspect that often appeals to parents and caregivers as well.

Art Spot: Kit ‘n Kaboodle is open and ongoing at the Crocker Art Museum. Another Art Spot, Tot Land, features the giant sculpture Dreamboat. Tot Land is also open and ongoing. Art Spots are free to children and their caregivers with Museum admission.

Who wrote that?

KIDLIT CREATORS WHO MAKE KIDS WANT TO READ An interview with Joanna Rowland

By Bitsy Kemper

Who Wrote That? is a monthly column that profiles the talented authors and illustrators who are bringing children’s books to life.

J

oanna Rowland was a late bloomer in the world of writing books. Writing classes?

She avoided them because she feared she wasn’t any good. She worried she daydreamed too much while the teacher was talking.

Little did she know the importance of daydreaming in brainstorming and writing, skills she’d be honing a little later in life.

It wasn’t until her 30s, back in 2009, that the itch to write started to, well, itch. Blossom, if you will. “It was literally a light bulb moment,” Joanna said. “I know exactly where I was and what I was doing when it came. And the dream never went away.”

Writing is one of Joanna’s favorite ways to create. “I love that words can make people feel and think.” A Transitional-Kindergarten teacher with a B.A. in child development and a multiple subject teaching credential, she is well prepared for her three-book (as of today) writing career.

Joanna sat down and talked with columnist Bitsy Kemper about her writing journey.

Bitsy: What was your first book?

Joanna: Always Mom, Forever Dad came out in 2014. The idea came to me when a relative

said she wished there were more positive books on divorce. So I told her I’d write one. Luckily, it worked out and sold.

BK: What about your next one about grief?

JR: Well, there was a child that was meant to get my book on divorce, but she lost her father before the book came out. I knew she needed a different type of book.

That is where the journey of writing on grief began.

BK: So you wrote it for her?

JR: During the two years of writing The Memory Box, my family lost some special people in our lives. I rearranged the story a bit so that the reader never knows exactly who died; it more references feeling loss.

That way any reader can relate to the loss of any lost loved one, even a pet.

BK: Two years spent working on one story seems long.

JR: I started writing it in 2014. Even though I tried

Joanna Rowland lives in Sacramento, CA with her husband and three children. She likes to teach in the day and write at night. In the summer you’ll find her by the pool coaching synchronized swimming.

APRIL 2018 • CALIFORNIA KIDS! Family Fun Guide

to write other books, The Memory Box was a book that wouldn’t let go of my heart. I had to write it. For over two years, I kept working and revising. It sold to the perfect publishing house (SparkHouse Family) and found the perfect editor. It recently received a silver medal from The MoonBeam Award for picture book all ages! It means so much to see that after years of work, people felt it made a difference.

BK: Are there any hidden meanings or images?

JR: Personally there are.

You’ll notice a synchronized swimming picture in there.

The book is in memory of a synchronized swimmer I used to coach that swam with my daughters and niece. To be able to hand someone a book that I know will have a special meaning for them is the best feeling ever. The birds in there also have a special story for lost, loved friend.

BK: What about your third book, where did you get that idea?

JR: It was during teaching on a windy day that my stu-

dents had a hard time listening. The title “The Monstructor” popped in my head, and I ran with it.

BK: What else inspires you as far as creativity?

JR: Nature inspires me. Reading books or watching a great movie with all the feels inspires me. But my writing community really feeds my soul.

I love SCBWI (Society of Children’s Book Writers and Illustrators) and the conferences and friends I have met there. It truly is a second home.

BK: Are you surprised you’re an author?

JR: When I was little, I wanted to be a teacher or a stay at home mom. I teach Transitional Kindergarten now so that worked out! It’s fun to have a job where I get to read stories to kids everyday.

BK: And now, some of them are your stories!

Bitsy Kemper is author of 16 children’s books. You may have seen Bitsy on CNN, heard her on national radio, noticed her quoted in a range of places from Parenting magazine to Writing Children’s Books for Dummies, or seen her work in countless newspapers, radio and TV stations across the U.S. of A. Busy with three kids (four if you count her husband), she happily finds time to present at schools and writer conferences from CA to NY. Find out more at www.BitsyKemper.com.

Games

Call My Bluff

T

his is a fun word game (made famous by the TV show) which can help children to learn new words, practice dictionary work and presentation skills! It works best in a classroom or large group setting, and you will need time to prepare.

Call my Bluff instructions Age: 7+ You will need a large dictionary and at least 4 players, preferably more.

3 players are chosen to give the first presentation.

They must choose a difficult word from the dictionary (which they hope no-one will know) and write 3 definitions for the word. One of the definitions must be true, and the other two should be plausible (but can be funny).

Now write the word on a card or the chalkboard and ask the 3 children to read out their words to the group or class, giving no indication which is right and which are wrong. Make sure the children adopt a good poker face when giving their definitions!

The audience now votes on which is the right definition. If they guess right, the audience gets a point.

If they guess wrong, each of the other 2 presenters gets a point!

Variations: 3 adults or older children can prepare a number of words in advance, and present them to younger children.

Instead of using word definitions, you can write 3 or more “truths” about a character you are studying, or perhaps a favorite celebrity. The audience has to guess whether the “facts” are right or wrong.

Catch The Dragon’s Tail This traditional Chinese game is great fun for the playground. You will need a large group of children at least 10, but the more the merrier!

Age: Any The children all form a line with their hands on the shoulders of the child in front. The first in line is the dragon’s head, the last in line is the dragon’s tail.

The dragon’s head then tries to catch the tail by manoeuvring the line around so that he can tag the last player. All the players in the middle do their best to hinder the dragon’s head. Don’t let the line break!

When the head catches the tail, the tail player takes the front position and becomes the new dragon’s head. All the other players move back one position

Bridges This game is good for a stretch of motorway with lots of bridges. It’s a fun challenge that tests children’s distance awareness.

Age: 5+ When you see a bridge ahead the non-player tells all players to close their eyes.

Keeping their eyes closed, players call out ‘now’ when they think they are passing under the bridge.

The player who gets closest is awarded a point.

Play best of 5. The player with the most points wins. The non-player’s

decision on whom to award the point to is final.

Variations: Chose any landmark you like as your marker. Call ‘now’ as you pass by.
