The Hopkinton Garden Club congratulates its members Henry Schmidt, Deborah Coleman, Kathy Yankee, Audrey Dempsey, Liz Swenson, and Merylyn Mezitt on winning the blue ribbon in the Design Division’s “Circle of Life” Club Competition.
“Circle of Life” requires a buffet table design for six or more set for a baby shower. Four competing clubs each select a baby (past or present) for their intended shower recipient. Our members chose Peter Rabbit as their “baby” thinking it would be fun to work with and easily accessorized by the participants personal rabbit themed pieces.
April is Marathon Month and National Poetry Month. We've combined the two!
Adults and teens - read 26 poems to complete the "marathon." Pick up your reading log at the library. Complete the marathon by May 2 and turn in your log sheet to qualify for a raffle entry and a chance to win a prize.
Children - read (or be read) 3 poems and we'll put your name on a leaf to decorate our fabulous "Poet Tree".
Local poet Polly Brown will lead a poetry writing workshop at the Hopkinton Public Library on Wednesday, April 15 at 6:30 PM. The writing of poetry is both playful and serious: a way of using language to sneak up on what you know about the world and yourself in it - and then give that away, adding to what the world knows about itself. We'll try out some strategies for getting started, and some ways of getting and giving support. You'll walk away with rough drafts and new ideas. Everyone is welcome - feel free to join us even if you've never tried poetry writing before.
The Hopkinton Police department got a chance to test their basketball skills against the Hopkinton Special Olympics team.
