The Adams County House of History is open for the summer. Come for
a visit every Saturday from 1 - 4 p.m. You can look at vintage clothing, uncover military history, think about spending time in jail, learn more about medical practices of the period, see how they cooked, decide if you need a trim from the barber and much much more. You may need to stop in several times to take it all in.
Coyotes on the Loose at Corning Elementary
“Wow!”. “Cool!” “Oh, that’s how you do it!. Those were just a few of the phrases coming from the Corning 4th grade students this morning as they worked with Michael Cooper. As you can see by the picture, they made some pretty artistic coyote masks in just under an hour! Energy filled the air and smiles were passed all around as each child worked to create their own mask. Mr. Cooper also showed them a simple mime technique with their hands. You can catch his show this Wednesday night, May 5th at 7:00 p.m. at the Corning High School Auditorium. Adults $5 and Children $2. Hope to see you there!You won’t want to miss this event! It would cost you from $10-25 to see him in Iowa City next month. You can check out his antics on YouTube at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BxGmxTvM1H0. Bring the whole family! Bring your grandchildren. They’ll adore his wit and humor. You’ll be amazed by the masks he creates and the way they enhance his actions and stories.
The Corning Library Teen Board is jumping in to tell us what’s going on at the Corning Public Library. What you might want to read. Perhaps a movie to check out. Or perhaps what fun activites for all ages are happening at the Library. Check back soon to see their new blog.
Hopefully we’ll have nice weather for the Holiday Open House Weekend. Can’t wait to wander through all the shops to discover fun, new gift items for the holidays. I know some Corning Winery wine will be among several of my gift purchases for family and friends. I may have to stop by Westside Spirits and see what other festive recipes for punch or cocktails might be available. I see the Corning Opera House is having a Soup Sampler luncheon on Saturday, November 7th. Sounds like my kind of tasting. I love soup, and look forward to having some of every kind to determine my favorite! I might have to start my day with a little "Sweet" from Sweet Desires and some coffee from FSC Mart to get my engines going. I know I want to stop in at Fudge Town to look for a new style of end table to go by my recliner. Since the holidays are fast approaching I’ll be looking for some ideas from the Lone Arranger to set the stage at home. Also, McMahon’s always has some fun and flirty items to bring a smile to family members. I’ll also check out The Fickle Frog to see what theme they’ve dreamed up this year to set the stage for holiday shopping and what new items they have for sale as well as see what Corning Center for the Arts has on hand for that special someone. Also, my husband’s birthday falls in the same month as Christmas, so I’ll be checking out items also at Gadberry’s, Country Peddler, Alegent Health Home Care Products (He got a great foot massager from there last year.) Of course, if I stick to some tools for home improvement and attach a "honey-do" list to the present, we both win, right? Hope to see you on the streets November 7th.

The Aquatic Center seems to be progressing well. Drive by this week to see the bright blue ladder for the slide going up. What a fun sight. Also, the new bathhouse is looking great. Can’t wait for opening day. What a great new addition to the AC.Way to go City of Corning! Many thanks to all the volunteers who took the lead on this great project. With all the donations, fundraisers, grant writing, etc., it definitely took county-wide teamwork!
