The Grand Marais Art Colony and Grand Marais Public Library are partnering to offer an afternoon of winter fun for children and families on Saturday, Dec. 19, from 1-3 p.m. at the Art Colony, offering a medley of activities, including folk music and dancing with renowned regional caller Terrence Smith, a story time with winter-themed tales, and an opportunity for little ones to make their very own potato print wrapping paper.
“I love folk dances because they belong to each and every one one of us,” says Smith. “When you sing a song, play a tune, or dance a dance you have a vehicle, a thread, which carries you back through history and up to the present. It’s quite a feeling!”
This family-friendly event is free and open to the public, and refreshments and restrooms will be available.
The Grand Marais Art Colony is located at 120 West 3rd Avenue in Grand Marais, Minnesota.
