'I am hoping that visitors and their families leave the museums this summer thinking ‘I’ve learned something new,' said Abby Garner, Family Engagement Coordinator for the Springfield Museums, in an interview with The Republican. " 'Whether that is from the <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/planetarium" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#planetarium</a>, one of our <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/musical" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#musical</a> performances, the additional activities we are offering, or from one of our visiting exhibits.'"Some of the Museums’ summer activities are returning favorites, like the return of Giant Bubbles with Mr. Vinny, a show on the Quadrangle each Friday afternoon that encourages children to watch, chase and pop bubbles. The Toe Jam <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Puppet" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Puppet</a> Band, a children’s entertainment troupe that combines <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/music" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#music</a>, <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/puppetry" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#puppetry</a> and <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/storytelling" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#storytelling</a>, also returns."Other activities, like hands-on experiences in the Cat’s Corner, Hasbro Games Art Discovery Center and <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/SparkLab" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#SparkLab</a>, were curated by the Museum’s education staff for this year’s summer programming."In the Cat’s Corner, located inside of The Amazing World of <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/DrSeuss" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#DrSeuss</a> Museum, guests can read some of Ted Geisel’s stories and take part in facilitated art activities. In the Hasbro Games Art Discovery Center, located inside of the George Walter Vincent Smith Art Museum, guests can participate in activities that range from arts and crafts to dress-up and puppet play. In the Spark!Lab, located inside of the Springfield Science Museum, make projects inspired by inventions and innovations in American history, or invent something totally new." 'Activities can change from week to week in our drop-in spaces, so there are new experiences often for visitors looking to visit more than once this summer,' Garner said.A focus on music"The summer schedule also offered the opportunity for more live music at the Museums." 'We’ve had musical performances on and off throughout the years, and they’re always really special events, especially when the weather’s nice and we can have them out on our <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/QuadrangleGreen" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#QuadrangleGreen</a> and kids can dance and <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/sing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#sing</a> and <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/play" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#play</a>,' said Larissa Murray, Director of Education for the Springfield Museums. 'But we wanted to make it more of a featured event, something that you could plan for as opposed to it just happening now and again.'"Wednesdays are a strong turn-out day for the Museums, Murray explained, making it the perfect opportunity to test out a new music program."As a result, the Springfield Museums are offering a 'Music on Wednesdays' program this summer, with a different group or performer scheduled each week. The live music begins on July 9 with the Community Music School of Springfield performing <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/BombaYPlena" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#BombaYPlena</a> music from <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/PuertoRico" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#PuertoRico</a> and <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/WestAfrican" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#WestAfrican</a>-inspired drumming and dance."

My pronouns are Any/All, and my adjectives are Silly/Compassionate. I am currently dealing with writer's block trying to come up with a 5-minute stand-up bit. I'm hoping that spending more time with the Beige folk will help give me inspiration. Someday, I hope to make some <a href="https://beige.party/tags/PublicDomainAndOrLegallyDistinctFriends" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#PublicDomainAndOrLegallyDistinctFriends</a> and introduce them to you all! Playing games is fun! I like learning about and painting minis for D&D, but I've never played it. I'd like to try a campaign someday! I'm also the unoffical spokes-puppet for the <a href="https://beige.party/tags/Quakerpunk" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Quakerpunk</a> movement in my more serious moments.

RamenCatholic 🐢🌈I'm right handed, but I'm a left Hand (therefore, my Puppets are all on a Left Hand Path and are considered Sinister). It just makes more sense to me to have my primary hand free for controlling puppet arms, it gives me better control. Also, it's better for scratching my butt or whatever. <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/Puppet" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Puppet</a>
