Are you a budding artist? Come join us at Beech Bluff County Park and experience making art from and inspired by nature! Throughout the week, we will experiment with natural dyes, making paper, creative writing, and other fun arts and crafts projects. We will also enjoy everything else Beech Bluff has to offer, such as hanging out in the gardens with the Agriculture Team, seeing artifacts that tell the park’s story, playing games, and exploring outside in nature.

Storytime with Kelly Starling Lyons: Ellen's Broom

Join author Kelly Starling Lyons on August 1 at 2 p.m. to listen to her illustrated children’s book Ellen's Broom, and learn about the story's background and the author's inspiration. Participants will enjoy a powerful story about preserving strong family ties in the face of injustice, the merging of new and old traditions, and the history of "jumping the broom." For a reminder of these important lessons, each participant will make a mini-broom pencil to take home! Free and open to all ages but recommended for ages 5–10. Registration is required for all participating children, and all kids must have a supervising adult(s). The program will take place indoors in the park's climate-controlled Main House, followed by a craft activity. Schedule: Aug 1, 2026 Saturday from 2pm to 3pm Duration: 1 hour Ages: All ages,
